ARLINGTON, Texas -- Emmanuel Sanders is living the dream.

The Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver, who played college ball at SMU, wanted to play football since he was eight years old.

And on Sunday he will play in the ultimate game when the Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers at Cowboys Stadium in Super Bowl XLV.

"A dream come true; I firmly believed that," Sanders said. "I was that kid who wanted to be on that TV. I wanted to make the National Football League, and I actually did it."

Nice read! Thanks.
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.
