I was hoping someone could tell me what helmet he wore while he played at North Texas. I have a collection of about 6 UNT minis and just needed to know which one he wore and if I had it. If I don't have it I'm going to try to get one made. I'm a sports memorabilia collector and Mr Haynes is doing a autograph signing in Arlington during April. Also wanted to know where I could maybe land a 8 x 10 of him in a NTSU uni.

Looks like it was a plain white helmet with large thin numbers on it:

Check out the 4 Talon Eagle Claw in the inset photo on the left?

Me...well, undergrad years were 1966-1970. I have the Yucca's from those years and it has been great fun to look back through them from time to time.

This is the first mention of "mean green" I could find in a yearbook. 1967 Yucca.

Great find, C. And that would have been for the '66 season.
