Former SMU star Eric Dickerson takes exception to Sonny Dykes leaving for TCU

BY Big Steaming Pile

It took decades but the best football player in SMU’s history is in a good place with his alma mater, as evidenced by Eric Dickerson’s feelings about the Mustangs previous football coach leaving for a rival across town.

“I’ll say this, I don’t know coach [Sonny] Dykes well, but to me that shows a lot about the character of a person,” Dickerson said in a phone interview this week when asked about Dykes’ leaving SMU to accept the TCU head coaching job.

Dickerson, 61, has a new book out, Watch My Smoke, in which he does not hold back on any topic, from his infamous days at SMU to his time with the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts.

So says the player who got paid to play and caused the Death penalty for the first time in College Football history.....

If Sonny would give Eric a car Eric would like him. Or cash in an envelope. Eric's love and appreciation is always for sale.

that would actually be jeff atkins and his team mates

dickerson merely helped put them on probation which smu had already done before under dave smith and others. he also gave us one of the all time great aggie stories so let him rant

 

[An-Cap Frog]

What an odd endorsement of Sonny going to TCU....

My Dad was a big SMU alum and supporter......mucho pay going on and it wasn't only for Dickerson. UT was livid as SMU out bid and out smarted them on the combo pony express signing. Of course everyone is doing it now, so what do we do?

We Pay, just like everyone else but the big $$ go to QB plus offensive and defensive linemen. We cannot realistically believe we will win a Big 12 championship in the coming seasons without those $$ for 4 & 5* athletes. However, the other universities will be paying right along with us but at least we know have a competent CEO to navigate this evolving terrain.

let us also not forget the frogs were also cheating at that same time as well, maybe not cheating as well because we surely weren't winning like them

I'm sure you would have turned down the money.

 

[FROGLEGHOP]

I wonder if Dickerson knows that Coach Dykes was actually on the staff at TCU before he went to SMU.

The TCU job is just a better job now.

 

[Big Frog II]

Eric Dickerson is the last person I want to hear talking about character from.

 

[Bonner4Prez]

Of all the people to check-in with an opinion on this lol

 

[WhatTheFrog]

I'll care about what he has to say this time as much as I cared last time.

 

[frogs9497]

Dickerson has always had a special hate for TCU, particularly in the last 20 years.

 

[geefrogs]

The only people who actually care about Eric Dickerson are the same folks who actually still read newspapers.

(Ducks for cover)

Remember playing smu and dickerson at amon carter, he got injured and came up the ramp with a trainer, I booed him profusely and would do the same today.

 

[Pure Purple]

Indictments from culprits like Dickerson and his 'payola' teammates are beyond farcical.

 

[4 Oaks Frog]

Eric who?
GO FROGS!
BEAT EVERYBODY!
Spit Blood ~~<~<and fornicate baylor, smoo and Eric who!!

 

[Froggish]

Its amazing how big of vagina's SMU folks are.....Dickerson was pretty much the model for kids maximizing their value in the CFB marketplace. For him to be mad at anyone for doing the same thing is hilarious. Hey Eric...You took the money....So did Sonny. What's the difference?...There is none

 

[Pure Purple]

SMU fans are seemingly obsessed with anything pertaining to TCU. Continually, ridiculing

any endeavor that we may elect to pursue...is simply a ploy to divert attention from the

deplorable plight in which their own inept athletic program is firmly mired. Envy running amok!

 

[tcudoc]

He is only slightly more tolerable than Craig James (Killed five hookers while at SMU)
