In the early 70's, one joker started the rumor that our name would be changed to Lyndon B.Johnson U. This rumor got some traction and there was actually some serious discussion about the pros and cons of such a change.

Why is the player on the left giving the "hook 'em horns" sign?

The irony is that the ACC started this entire poaching movement about 20 years ago when they raided the Big East.

I had the great pleasure of meeting you at a MTSU game in Murfreesboro a number of years ago. I am so sorry for your issues and wish you and your family all the best.

Which green?

Not to mention Duke (Methodist) and Boston College (RC).

I have already read the term "Power Two" in several articles.

And now we have our first D1 coast to coast conference. D3 already has one! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coast_to_Coast_Athletic_Conference

Wish him all the best. 53 is so young.

If this tomfoolery does not stop now, I'm calling his big brother, Irrita.

I'm sure our students can't wait to hear those speakers from the Big 12 Conference!

Please be careful here, Meat Loaf was one of us!

Just think if we had a football coach with that record!

In my day, the Kentucky Club was the place to go. https://www.bucketlistbars.com/news-articles2/139-the-world-famous-kentucky-club-juarez-mx

This uniform came after my time but there is an "only at North Texas" story to these. These uniforms were ordered by Robert Winslow who replaced Maurice McAdow after he retired in 1975. While the photo does not show this very well, the front was the apple green worn by our teams during the Fry era while the reverse side was a darker shade. And of course, the flying worm proudly adorned the front. Due to the long procurement and manufacturing cycle, the uniforms arrived about the same time as Fry's departure. The school then abandoned the flying worm and apple green. Not knowing about the worm or the apple green, new students and fans of the football program would then look at the uniforms and say, "WTF?".

I suspect some of you are too young to remember when the Olympics went from being a truly amateur endeavor to professional. This happened in 1986 and there were similar cries of outrage. Of course now, no one gives this a second thought. The same will happen with college athletics. Just as the amateur athletes were left behind in 1986, many universities will be left behind as the professionalism of college athletics takes hold. In twenty years or so, no one will give this a second thought as well.

Very clever!

I think he has been there for several years as I seem to recall someone posting about this. I see his son is there as well.

Rationing began in the spring of 1942, making that t-bone a thing of the past!

Failure to successfully execute these four steps may lead us to twelve steps.

My family arrived in Virginia from England in 1628 as indentured servants. Thankfully, we have worked our passage off now and can do what we want, including going to school at North Texas when all of my friends and family stayed in state. I have many friendly wagers on this game including one with my niece who is our most recent UVa grad. It will be a close game but the Mean Green will prevail!

Great story!!

Welcome Gulf Coast Hoo, and thank you for the update. We are really looking forward to the game! I suspect the Mean Green faithful would enjoy knowing the origin of your secondary nickname, the Wahoos.

First of all, no one called it the "Snake Pit" (my little crusade) If we are speaking of teams in the title game rather than champions, we can add: Memphis Cincinnati Bradley Oklahoma State (then A&M) Houston I'm sure there are others.

As we are as well. We forget that it was not all that long ago that we could not even qualify for our own conference tournament
