I believe that they have been so out of control that a reassessment is necessary -Thad, Sr

SMU is gonna be here, and SMU is gonna have football after a lot of us are gone.

I have to agree, best line goes to Coach Ron Meyer. I love the part where Ron Meyer calls the NCAA in Craig James' kitchen to assure them SMU didn't buy the Trans AM for Dickerson... Classic...

Another good one which I was not able to fully decipher was an old clip from the early 80's when Dickerson said they really know their business. (talking about the negotiations). Followed by Ron Meyer's "and that's how it happened" along with Ken Andrews "and I'm stopping there"

This documentary was full of great one liners. The cynicism of many in the documentary is what makes it great. Just look at their smiles while they are recounting the stories. Everyone in the SMU family that appears in the documentary is very charismatic.
