Oh-- and my favorite bit that they left off, was after Houston rolled the post-death penalty Mustangs 95-21, Houston went to Little Rock and lost; the crowd chanted 'SMU-SMU-SMU' at them for most of the 4th quarter; Pardee and Houston eventually went on probation for that season.

The game against Houston that year (1989) in Little Rock has to be one of my all-time favorites to witness. It was just one of those nights where you could feel the "electricity" in the air. Jack Pardee, Andre Ware and the Houston Cougars... well, they were accustomed to flaunting their newfound swagger and were the types of opponents you just hated...and I do mean hated, with every bone in your body. But with those teams, i.e Houston, SMU, and let's not forget Texas, one had to respect their level of talent. It was unreal.

The corruption was rampant in the SWC. There seemed to be no fear or shame with it, though some SWC teams took more pride in perfecting it into something worth flaunting. It was disappointing for me.
