Hadn't seen anyone post this by Keith Whitmire. It includes a big shout out to Thad from June.

"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."
