Our season tickets sit just above Abner Haynes in the Chiefs Ring of Honor. It was always meant to be. This city is exploding from excitement for Sunday.
Where you live? I'm in Lenexa.

There's a strong historical pipeline between the University of North Texas and the Kansas City Chiefs. Here's to back-to-back Super Bowls!
P.S. I could not find a picture of Louis Haynes, a fourth-round pick by the Chiefs in 1982. If anyone has one please add it to the thread.

I think the photograph is from the SMU game in 2006.
Have a look at the photo gallery here: https://rjy.photoshelter.com/gallery/09-09-2006-SMU/G0000oBs11Ewqe_8/C0000Q347LI0RTt0
It matches.

I love seeing former players comment on our current program. It tells me they care and want to see it be awesome.
Hey, I completely agree with you here! 🙂

I don’t need tell you crap and why would I on here. And even if I did say what it is you could still simply call it an unsubstantiated rumor. So what does it matter outside of me simply saying I know what I know and I don’t care for the guy.
You're the one who put it out there. If you don't like the guy then just say you don't like the guy and you have your reasons.

Whatever dude ... if you're not willing to share then keep your unsubstantiated rumors to yourself.

I would be extremely disappointed if we took him back. There is no way he would be the best we can do. Plus, living with a player during his time I got an inside peak at this coach. No thanks.
Explain the third sentence please ...

This game should not have even been that close. That was some of the worst clock management I've ever seen beginning with about 8:00 left in the 4th quarter.

Does Littrell not understand the concept of running out the clock?

Boise State has no place to go, so the coach is just huffing and puffing. I agree with JTM0097. We barely compete in the worst division in the worst conference in college football so regardless of location I fail to see either our attraction or anyone beating down the door to let us in.
I believe Mr. Harsin is referring to joining the AAC in football only.

OMG--newspaper deadlines and stuff...
CUSA offers F_Us, Old Dominion, Charlotte, and the UT-satellite schools!! And don't forget Judy--we are so progressive!!
Who would ever want to play in a conference that has a tie-in with CBS for games being broadcast in the future with teams that have made it in the G5 slot in the big bowl games? And that basketball schedule full of spares like SDSU, Nevada, UNLV, UNM, and Utah State? I mean, here in CUSA, we get WKU and...well, never mind. We would probably just dominate it anyway.
Hell no to the MWC!! We need to keep close games to drive to because we bring hundreds of fans to Houston, San Antonio, and Ruston!! And Facebook is the way I prefer to watch my football games, no doubt!!
Did I do it right, @MeanGreenTexan?
I see what you did there, sir. Well played 😉

I'm amazed at how long Jamize Olawale has been in the league. He was California-juco Dodge recruit and never really made a name for himself at North Texas. But the guy has just worked hard and carved himself a little niche in the NFL. Very impressive!

I've got a 2004 Dodge Dakota with 258,000 miles. Mid-size pickup with a V8 and 4x4. Still runs like a champ!

Well we should be considering utsa as a rival since we win against smu once every 4 years... utsa games are almost always crazy and very close, and I don't think we've had a close game against smu since 2006.
My point is, they should be our 2nd rival no question. They are also a complete joke of a school, so it makes it better.
Bite your tongue, sir ... North Texas beat SMU in 2014 and 2018.

Agreed ... even if he goes on to be a Rhodes Scholar and finds an answer to world hunger.

This is the part that stands out the most to me. Gotta wonder where we could be if McCarney didn’t think like a dinosaur...
”It’s a serendipitous return to Denton for Evans, a native of the area whom McCarney’s staff did not recruit out of Sanger High School.
“They told me I was too short and if I wanted to play there I could come walk on,” he said.
Evans signed with Tulsa. He is now the Golden Hurricane’s all-time leading passer.”

It's interesting to analyze the options NTSU had around this time. As has been noted in the thread already, one of those options was to stay in the Missouri Valley Conference. Let's dig a little deeper into that situation ...
By 1975 (the year NTSU decided to go independent), the big three schools of Louisville, Cincinnati, and Memphis State had all left the conference. If NTSU had stayed in the Missouri Valley Conference (rather than going independent) the following schools would have been football playing members:
North Texas State
Drake
Tulsa
Wichita State
New Mexico State
West Texas State
Non-football members of the Missouri Valley would have been Bradley and Southern Illinois.
In 1976, Indiana State would be added to the football ranks. And Creighton would be added as a non-football playing member.
In 1977, Southern Illinois would be added to the football ranks.
So for the second half of the decade (the 1970s), the Missouri Valley football conference would basically have looked like this:
North Texas State
Drake
Tulsa
Wichita State
New Mexico State
West Texas State
Indiana State
Southern Illinois
This is a pretty good lineup for basketball. After all, North Texas fans would have gotten to see the Mean Green take on Larry Bird and the Sycamores of Indiana State. But if football is what matters the most, maybe NTSU made the correct decision in going independent.

Excellent! Anytime you want to meet up to watch the Mean Green let me know. Are you going to the Missouri game this coming year?
