I thought at first you were talking about this next game "IT WAS DECEMBER, 1949, when the Notre Dame Fighting Irish came to Dallas, undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the nation. SMU was a 28-point underdog. Doak Walker, injured, was not in the lineup. But rampaging Rote rushed for 115 yards, completed ten passes for 146 yards and averaged 48 yards punting. When the game ended the score stood at Notre Dame, 27, SMU, 20." That's from the Dallas Morning News and I watched that game in Fort Worth on WFAA-TV channel 8 from Dallas. Channel 4, KRLD in Dallas, channel 5, WBAP in Fort Worth and WFAA were the only tv stations in DFW then. About Ray Miller, he was the news director for both KPRC radio and TV when I was there on the radio side as Charlie Brown playing country music. He was the best I saw in my on the air career. Sam Sitterlee was PD on the radio side. Did you know Cal Thomas the famous conservative columnist was a newsman there then? Wasn't very good. He couldn't tell truth from fiction. Still can't. Kay Bailey (now Hutchinson) Senator from Texas was a TV reporter then too. I suppose some werewolf bit her one night and she turned into a Republican. Oh well. Ironically, talking about WBAP and KPRC and K west of the Mississippi River with W east of it (generally), I guess I'm the only dj ever to have been on both WBAP and KPRC. I grew up in Fort Worth so that's was an honor for me. I guess there's a trivia question there; "Did KPRC ever play country music?" The answer is yes in the late 60's.
