NT 80a

Awesome!

If this is the same year as the UH game, then it is 1980. Also, it looks like turf, not grass, so it wouldn't be at Fouts. I know UTEP came to Fouts in 1979 (that was my first NT game ever), so 1980 was probably in El Paso.

Yes I remember going to the Sun Bowl. We got to fly with the team. I remember sitting across from Bill Mercer.

What type of lens and camera is this? Great photos!

Don't think that's Bernard Jackson. He was #29 & I don't remember him wearing a facemask like that.

It has been so long that I am forgetting stuff and I was working to make pictures and not really thinking about football. Harry, back in 1980 I have a Nikon F2 as I remember and this is most likely a 300mm lens. This was scanned from the print that went in the NT Daily. If I run across the negatives I am sure there are some undiscovered gems in there.
