Did anyone else see that crowd shot that showed someone who looked a LOT like Michael Irvin at the game yesterday? Could he not score tickets to OU-UT? What was he doing at our game?

The guy walked right by me going up the steps out of the parents section of the stands....can't say for sure it was Michael Irvin, but if not, he's a dead ringer for him. I'm like you though....if that was him, what was he doing at our game? Anyone know?
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Sure looked like him. Who else would wear a brown alligator-looking suit like that?

He could have been there visiting an old NFL Aquaintance in June Jones.

That was him. This is not his first SMU game either. Not sure what the relationship, if any, there is.

That was him. He was sitting right behind me, then moved over sec.102 to sit with Thornton Chandler's dad(Ex-Cowboy tight end).He had his 2 little boys with him, I guess he wanted to see a game with his kids. He stayed to the end of the game, I think.

Mike stayed to the end of the game? Props to you, Mike. Maybe you can raise a couple of players among your kids and funnel them to SMU, now that you're on the list of dedicated fans

Definitely him... he ran right over my wife and child on the way to his seat to try and startle Mr. Chandler. (Note: this is a second such encounter, the first being in Vista Ridge Mall) And if it wasn't, I am REALLY ticked that my view of the whole game was partially obstructed by dozens of little kids - that probably had no idea who Michael Irvin was - getting autographs from an imposter.

I'm glad I'm not famous (at least on this planet)
