We need a helmet sticker or patch honoring Dandy Don for the bowl game and all next season.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

An outstanding college and pro quarterback.

In addition to being a class individual. RIP

Agreed. Very easy to do, and the right thing to do. Please, SMU, do the right thing.

Very sad news. Don Meredith was one of the nicest gentlemen — and he absolutely was a gentleman of the highest level — I have had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing.

Wouldn't it be a damn shame to ONLY have one thread about him?

God, Dandy Don Meredith. Rest in peace, podnah.

I met him a time or two but my dad knew him a bit. Some of the younger fans may not remember how big Don was in the 1970s with Monday Night Football and his acting career. Still, he was always such a nice guy and willing to trade jokes with you. No matter how big he got, he never lost his Texas goold ole boy essence.

I always loved his timing for "Turn out the lights, the party is OVER!" He will be missed!
