Well, I live downtown, so yes, I am downtown basically every day and can see Reunion Tower from the roof of my building. I guess I just hadn't noticed it before--that or SMU doesn't win too much.
As to the Craig James reference, I had actually been down at the SMU Blvd. prior to (and during since so many don't go into the games there either) the game with some friends of friends one of whom played for SMU back in the 80s. I was fortunate enough to be in the in the presence of the great Craig James when he stopped by for a bit. It was the first time during the day I wanted to vomit. On a better note, Eric Dickerson stopped by as well, and that was worth getting an autograph.
PS (edit): And yes, I was wearing a Mean Green t-shirt while there.
