Hadn't seen anyone post this by Keith Whitmire. It includes a big shout out to Thad from June.
SMU head coach June Jones said it's not fair to compare his school's situation in the 1980s to what is going on at Penn State. (Jerome Miron-US PRESSWIRE)
"The '30 for 30' thing, I thought, did more for us getting recognition as to where SMU was," Jones said.
"We used to walk through airports and people would say, 'SMU, where is that?' Now, because of '30 for 30,' everybody knows where SMU is and they were at one time No. 1 in the nation. The kids that I coach weren't even born when all that stuff happened. That did help us, I think."
Yep. Kudos to Thad. So many people on my sets see me wearing SMU stuff and say, "did you see that espn show?" It makes folks remember how good we were.
