Exactly. EVERYONE was paying.
He sold SMU, hard. He wanted to be here, and he wanted to win.
That's really all I want. Someone who wants to be here. Someone who actually wants to win here.
Bennett wanted to be here and wanted to win.

He probably also didn't say "Please take one sentence in a discussion out of context and make it seem like I'm scared to play Houston."

No, I think he coached against Earl Campbell . RM started in the Spring of 1976 and Earl won the Heisman in 1977.

I can't quote his words exactly but have remembered the gist of a description of our school by Meyer, words to the effect that: "Given its location and being in Dallas and with the campus and all, SMU is the jewel of the conference."
I believed that. Probably the quotation was in a football press guide or something the Mustang Club issued.
