Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The SMU Mustangs is the name of the athletic teams representing Southern Methodist University. The Mustangs participate in the NCAA's Division I (I-A for football) as a member of Conference USA. In 2005, SMU accepted an invitation to the Western Division of Conference USA, and left the Western Athletic Conference. From 1918 to 1996, the Mustangs were a member of the Southwest Conference, until it formally disbanded.In 1935, SMU had a magnificent season: a 12-1-0 record, scoring 288 points while only giving up 39. The Mustangs completely dominated their opponents. They shut out eight of their 12 regular season opponents, including conference rivals Texas, Rice, Baylor, and Texas A&M. They were one of the most talented teams in school history. The 1935 Mustangs were crowned national champions by Frank Dickinson, a nationally respected economics professor at the University of Illinois. Although Minnesota was retroactively acclaimed as the 1935 national champion by three historical polls, SMU usually claims the 1935 national title without qualification because the Dickinson System was the first to gain widespread national public and media acceptance as a selector of national champions.
