Honoring 83 team/Blue Jerseys

Post by SMU21TCU10 »

Wish we always wore those jerseys and I was really glad we honored the 83 team. Have we ever honored one of the 80s teams post Dp?

that's one of the 1st things JJ did when he got here...trying to get the guys from those years back on campus and more involved. People bit*h and complain, but JJ came in here hoping to change a culture of apathy and losing, but I think he now realizes it was a bigger challenge than he ever could have imagined

It's been a half-assed effort to re-engage the former players. Led by JJ's half-assed effort. Just like everything else he's done. By the way, where are those horses he forced down our throats? They just -- poof -- disappeared this season.

No, Orsini engaged those guys. Dickerson helped bring June to campus. Between Orsini and now Hart, we are starting to acknowledge our history.

June could care less about those guys except that Eric Dickerson got June the job

We also recently honored Coach Gregg and the (was it '88?) team that was the first year back from the DP.
