I've long admired your tag line, "Long Live Inez Perez." I fully agree, although I only read about him and never saw him play, But I wonder, do you or perhaps someone else now anything of his life after SMU? Where is he today? What is he doing? I don't know. If this question has been recently answered I missed it. I'd appreciate someone telling me.

I have no idea where he is. As you remember, Inez was about 5'8" and stocky. He came into the texas A&M game when our first string Q-Back went down. (I don't remember who he was) This has tro be in the year about 1968. I was in law school in Fayettevillle, AR watching it on TV. Inez brought us back from a deficit and we wont the game. That was the highlight of his career, I think.

Gallant little guy who thought he could, and did!

Looks like he ended up in Lubbock.

he was actually nowhere near 5'8 -more like 5'6'. It was a classic Mustang moment-Here's Hayden Fry with the color commentary

Thanks Stallion. That whole chapter was a great read.

Thanks to Smoopower and Stallion for posting. I remember an article in Texas Football I think it was with the story of his recruitment. Hayden Fry had one scholarship left and used it on the small guy who looked so good on film. And after the A&M game perhaps. he was mentioned in one of the Dallas papers. It was said that he had a brother who was a little taller and that his family called that Perez boy "slim." That might have been in a Times Herald Blackie Sherrod column.

Thanks for posting that Stallion. I really liked Fry.
