Darden is a true treasure.  Hope he gets a very nice contract.  God didn’t we enjoy watching that guy play football?
🎶Celebrate good times—come on! 🎶

Here is the last one from UNT to be on an NCAA D-1 (FBS) All American team best I can recollect.  Mean Joe is the only African American on the team.  *What an honor for an honorable guy. 

🦅🇺🇸🦅 Thanks Dr. J.C. Matthews for integrating a traditionally Caucasian university in Texas (circa, 1956?) albeit should have been done in 1890. Also special thanks to (then) UNT Coaches Odus Mitchell, Herb Ferrell, Fred McCain, Ken Bahnsen & others.

••• In the photo is Playboys 1968 All American defense & I think NFL scouts helped to pick that team. In fact, I believe I heard Gil Brandt say that on local radio.
