Craig James Tour comes home to the Hilltop Oct. 18

Football icon Craig James ('84) has a message for current SMU students: "Get off the sidelines and into the game!"

James, who with Eric Dickerson comprised the Mustangs' legendary Pony Express in the 1980s, brings his Craig James Tour home to the Hilltop Monday, Oct. 18.

Now a nationally recognized college football analyst and business leader, James will hold an interactive conversation with Dallas-area college students 7-8 p.m. in the Hughes-Trigg Student Center Ballroom.

James is traveling to three universities in three months with the goal of inspiring young people to speak up and get involved in their communities.

The first event was held at Texas A&M University Sept. 27; the fall leg of the tour concludes at the University of Texas-Austin Nov. 8.

Self-parking is available in the Moody Garage ($5 self-payable with cash, Visa or MasterCard) or Binkley Garage (cash only).
