After slaving over a 15 page paper, I felt it necessary to watch 30 for 30's "Pony Express" last night. I'd rank this 30 for 30 as 3rd behind "The Two Escobars" and that behind the freshest of the fresh "The U". This one is based on how SMU was super tight in the late 1970s and early 1980s until they were eventually slapped with the NCAA's death penalty for breaking all the rules over and over again. SMU was notorious for having boosters that would drop hundreds like they were singles to outbid schools in their conference like Texas, A&M, and Arkansas for the ghetoest and dankest players in the land. Some would equate this to my old playing days when coaches from around the country would be paying for my cheese fries and everlasting gobstoppers just to see me throw down a turkey in the bowling alley. Corruption is everywhere.
One of the legends of SMU football in this corrupt era was Erik Dickerson. If you were to watch this documentary I would only watch it to see this guy. He's got more swag than the Dos Equis guy himself. He rocks a perm down to his shoulders (which to me is the white man's mullet, and I 100% endorse), goggles, and a belly jersey, which has jumped to number 1 as my outfit of choice.
