Eric Dickerson still snubbed from college hall of fame

Eric Dickerson's Cotton Bowl induction doesn't get him closer to the college football hall of fame

Eric Dickerson is a lot of things: NFL Hall-of-Famer, actor, broadcaster, ex neighbor to Justin Bieber and Father-in-Law to rapper Freddie Gibbs.

He was also recently inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame. In his only Cotton Bowl performance Dickerson—who played at SMU from 1979-1982—ran for 124 yards and a touchdown against Pittsburgh in a 7-3 win in the '72 Cotton Bowl. He was a two-time All-American and he broke Earl Campbell's Southwest Conference rushing record with 4,450 yards.
