They include the remarkable Raymond Berry, Eric Dickerson the talented Forrest Gregg along with Lamar Hunt (in the role of a contributor), and the legendary Doak Walker. Unfortunately SMU has once received the "death penalty" for multiple violations of NCAA rules in its days when it was a prominent member of the Southwest Conference. However since the team has recovered its glory and looking forward to an exciting season ahead. The Mascot of the Mustangs is among the most easily recognized ones.

The famous SMU Mustang mascot originally came into being when the visionary President Hyer's assistant once innocuously remarked that the powerful SMU football players looked similar to "bunch of wild mustangs." Since then the term "Mustangs" was made official after it was put to a student vote. The SMU has rich football tradition. During the afternoon before each home football match, SMU students, staff along with their alumni gather along the famous Bishop Boulevard which is incidentally SMU's main street for elaborate pre-game festivities. Towards the North end of the Boulevard tents of student organizations are located which includes just about every fraternity and nearly each sorority on campus. Many tents apparently offer free food and drinks. Some fraternities even hire bartenders to serve visitors who are 21 and older. In the beautiful South end of the famed Boulevard is known to usually host numerous tents of alumni groups along with groups from various prominent departments of the school. In the North of the Boulevard, tailgaters from the opposing team are placed.

The Mustangs are known for the exciting game and exquisite techniques. This season their fans are hoping the best for them. So do get your tickets early and bring your friends along to enjoy the matches.
