Or "Lance's head is just spinning right now. But he'll get it. Thats how its been everywhere we've been. Unlv, Cowboys etc."

No, that was Freddie Akers.

Didn't he go into recruits homes for face to face visits ?? You think JJ would have recruited either Dickerson or james? And don't give me payola as an excuse. He sold SMU.

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.

Ron Meyer never coached a team against Earl Campbell in college.

Campbell graduated in 1977. Meyer came to SMU in 1976.

Stallion beat me...1976 and 1977 seasons
