We weren't on the front page when we got the DP? I was pretty sure we made it for that.

We were on the cover in the 80's...showing the stadium in LR when we played Arkansas on a rainy day around the penalty days

Google image 'sports illustrated SMU' and you'll see the SI comer with Doak. I only took a quick look, there might be another one there.

I can't remember if we made one of the tiny pictures in the corner on the cover, but I remember reading a long article in Sports Illustrated in Phil Bennett's first year after we beat Louisiana Tech at home about the program post-DP

The Blount dollar signs cover was Texas Monthly in October 1979 profiling Blount's success

Ah yes ... J.R. Reid. Talk about a college stud who underachieved in the NBA. There were a lot of people who really thought he would be a star for 10 or more years.
