They are promoting the heck out of Pony Excess on KARN 920 am in Little Rock. They are talking about the highest rating on ESPN and Wally Hall who is an old time sportswriter here was around during those times and knows what was going on. He is telling the TransAm story.

Thad is hitting home runs. He is a good interview.

They are through with Thad but still talking about the program and praising SMU and how much the program is going to help get recruits interested.

Thaddeus- The half shirts and tear away jerseys made me misty eyed for 80's. God I miss it. Great Job on the film! I bumped into one of my old high school teammates Derrick Reed who played secondary when the Grim Reaper hit. He went to Michigan State-I will never forget the buzzards circling over after our players.

interesting note: last year's Hawaii Bowl garnered a 1.7.

Somebody figure how much pub Thad just got SMU

My prayer is that 4 young men "my size" watch this program and want to come play NG for SMU.
Micheal Carter and Jerry Ball did - Why not YOU?
Remember that SMU stands for

Agree with mrydel. Thad hit a homer with his Arkyland radio interview. THey asked some insight type question (how is Ron Meyer perceived in the SMU community...Hero. How is Bobby Collins perceived...not so good).

Some questions about his father's reactions to the film.

Thad did very well. Wish they had scheduled him for more than 20 minutes.

So, we went to high school together. . . Hmmmmmm. . .

About the only good memory from the Arkansas game in '86 was walking off the field with Derrick and Sammy Van Dyke afterwards.

Saw it at the Lakewood and was impressed. Saw it a second time tonight (recorded) and was blown away. Did not want to comment until I had seen it twice. Must say it brought back mostly great memories. Kudos Thad. You deserve all the great accolades you are receiving.

Please email it to me. I'm still broke (really no lie, I put all of the money I could have made right back into that film) I can't afford a subscription. I'd love to read it!

Just ask HBPD!

And thanks again for putting me up (as well as the countless others that let me couch surf whilst finishing it... but no one put me up more nights than HBPD, and it ain't even close!).

Wally Hall's column today in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette sports section is dedicated totally to Pony Exce$$. I am too dumb for the paste and copy stuff but if someone can go to the newspaper website I think it is still free if you register and you can post his article for folks to read. It is the bottom of page one of the sports section.
