Okay, a trivia question for you...
Name the 5 SMU Mustangs who are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
No Googling. No going to Wikipedia or the SMU home page or the Hall of Fame page and looking it up.
The answer will be posted this afternoon.
UPDATE -- Answer after the jump.
Doak Walker, Forrest Gregg, Eric Dickerson, Raymond Berry, and Lamar Hunt
Hunt was the tough one.

I said Craig James? I should think before I speak (or type).

I didn't realize Dickerson had made it into the HoF...
Found this too late to join, but Gregg, Doak, Berry and Hunt were my guesses off the top… James was pretty good at SMU but never really could have been considered “elite” in the pros… Excellent announcer, tho…
I might have tho’t of Eric … if he hadn’t been nominated for the Idiots’ HoF…
PacMan would be first ballot there… TO, too.

Remember what a crappy sideline
reporter Eric Dickerson was?
He couldn’t speak on camera plus he had no juggage.

I know Meredith isn't in.
I’m having more trouble with this than I thought I would. I didn’t even think of Walker.

You have low standards for the word great.
Who do you think was “greater”: Bobby Humphrey or Craig James?

But Kato Armostrong and Todd Alexander should get consideration from the veteran’s committee.

According to wikipedia
His last game was in the Israeli league back in 2005, but he was released after 2 games….

Have you ever seen Mavs Man and Tony Dumas in the same room together? Didn’t think so.

but he did attend SMU… and I’m almost certain graduated from there.

I've got 4
Doak Walker, Eric Dickerson, Raymond Berry, and the late great Lamar Hunt.
No idea on the 5th… but it’s not James, Meredith, or Bobby Layne!
I guess you heard Fat Joe left Atlantic.

And I would actually put Gregg ahead of all of them.

lets try this
for sure, Dickerson, Gregg, and Walker are in.
My other two guesses would be Raymond Berry – the great Colts WR- and Bob Lilly (those two are probably wrong though)……

Almost
I think Berry is right for sure. Lilly went to TCU.
Hunt is definitley in the HOF and definitely went SMU, but I don’t think he played so I don’t know if that counts.

Hunt is still an SMU Mustang...
I’ll contend that he meets AJM’s requirements:

I find the TCU players to be easier to remember.
For whatever reason, the Baughs, Lillys and Tomlinsons stand out more.

So clearly Jon Daniels wishes to make a splash by signing Sheets on Monday, thus stealing the spotlight away from the Super Bowl.
