1975 NT vs. Tennessee Footage (and other mid-70's video)

Mean Green Matt · February 18, 2015

My apologies if this has already been posted on here and I did not see it.

The Portal to Texas History, which is supported by North Texas libraries and other groups, has some very cool video from mid-1970s NT football. None of the videos I clicked on has sound.

Here is a link to the full list: http://texashistory.unt.edu/search/?fq=untl_collection%3AUNTADR&start=0

These are the two that stuck out for me:

1975 @ Tennessee - http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc272194/

1976 vs. Florida State - http://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc272165/

I tried to find a video of the Sears Woods kickoff return TD, but to no avail. I could have missed it, but one video stops right before it, and the other literally skips over it and shows the ensuing kickoff that Tennessee received.

Lots of cool video. The website has more than just sports too. About 30 years of NBC 5 footage has/is being digitized for the site.

i've studied the film and it looks like we've got a good chance next season.

this will be my 4th game to attend at neyland and my wife's 1st. i highly recommend for everyone to find a way to get there. Littons burger special followed by the red velvet will be on our schedule followed by some prime rib at the copper cellar.

Is it weird that I get nervous watching North Texas football even when it happened almost 40 years ago?

at the end of the 1976 NT-Texas films is footage from an evening practice at Fouts, mostly special teams work. The great Kenny Washington shows his punting skills.
