Description: Great vintage SMU Campus paper from November 23, 1981 after the Mustangs beat Arkansas to win the SWC Title. Prime Vintage College Football History from some of SMUs controversial years that saw legendary teams. Paper has the natural bend at the fold. It would look great / lay flat in a frame. From Wiki: The 1981 SMU Mustangs football team represented Southern Methodist University (SMU) as a member of the Southwest Conference (SWC) during the 1981 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by Ron Meyer in his sixth and final season as head coach, the Mustangs compiled an overall record 10–1 with a mark of 7–1 in conference play, winning the SWC title. The Mustangs had been put on probation by the NCAA for recruiting violations and were banned from participating in any bowl game in 1981. Since SMU's performance would have given them an automatic berth in the Cotton Bowl Classic, the team decided to treat its final regular season game against Arkansas as their bowl game and nicknamed it the "Polyester Bowl". SMU finished at No. 5 in the final AP Poll. Because its rules prevent schools under probation from being considered, the Mustangs were not ranked in the Coaches Poll at all during the season. At season's end, the Mustangs were recognized as national champion by the National Championship Foundation (NCF). Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Any questions just ask.
