Thanks for putting out the facts. I wondered what happened (since I don't have a newspaper.)

Finally got to the Snake Pit in '71. Rockin' place. Great write up, Eagle '71 and photos, too. Had to miss the Jan. '69 game; was in Vietnam.

Good Job!

New Mexico? Where's my remote? Frisco? Whur my car keys?

Coaches and jocks have never been great real world strategists.

Really enjoyed the LA Times article. Thanks for posting. My NTSU degree was put on hold when drafted into the military and had to finish my accounting degree when back from Vietnam. Even though I was never a gung-ho soldier, seeing UNT on the field with West Point had an special emotional component for this old coot. Good job with this site, too.

Rod Rust did not like walk-ons. That may have been one of his recruiting negatives.

I've been a UNT fan a long time and the last time UNT players said SMU was a bad team, the Eagles got seriously embarrassed. SMU will not be easy. SHould be a great game and party while hosting SMU in the (still) new stadium.

Really good looking manly footware. I like best the pair that reads "UNT Eagles." Great job!

New Union?! I was at NTSU when they were building the current one which was then state of the art.

I like it. Need more Eagles with the Mean Green.

Very nice pictures. Good job!

Wife and I drive from Dallas for the UTEP game. Get to entrance and stiff-armed . . . have to walk back to Fouts and leave my back pack. How were we to know? A blanket disallowance of a handy tool such as a back pack (for jacket, binocs, etc.) is a decision made by lazy and not-too-bright government types. Why harrass those that want to attend? Any wonder can't sell out the stadium? Bet those on the committee that ex'd backpacks couldn't walk twice from Fouts to Apogee.

Well I go back a ways at UNT. The win over Tennesse was covered pretty good. National news said some alums parked a moving van in front ot the Tennessee coach's house. Remember what Eagle player scooped up the ball (blocked field goal or fumble I don't remember) and ran it back for the winning score? Sears Woods ring a bell? Actually when NT was leading at half time in the '83 or '84 Texas game was covered pretty good. 'Course you didn't have the media bandwidth back then anywhere like today.

UNT had few penalties than Ohio, which is a change from the prior years.

Thanks for the info Silver Eagle. Like I said in an earlier post, the flying worm is an eagle and that's a good thing.

Wish I knew what SOW means. Anyway, what about an EAGLE on the helmet?

I was a senior with the flying worm was original. I like it because it is in fact the "Eagle" -- not a mean green.

Good. Things change. Rod Rust, the NT football coach in '71, strongly discourged walk-ons.
