Lesser Rival?

Harris apparently graduated from UNT, under the tutelage of Mercer, in 1988.

He witnessed the coaching of Corky Nelson (also the AD).  President was Hurley.  We were in the Southland Conference and just removed from being Independent in AA (1982-1983).

Scatter-shooting here:  people like Harris are one of the biggest barriers we face if we want to bring in New Denton.  These guys had Old Denton injected  into their blood, and now carry that torch - with its respective influence - into their industry.  In the case of Harris, unfortunately, that means he gets to run his mouth in front of a major Texas market.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, its kind of ironic that we have graduates of Mercer - a UNT Mean Green throught and through and beloved through the broadcasting industry - yet are so anti-UNT in their stereotypes.

How is it possible that one can be a student of Mercer AND an anti-Mean Green athletics at the same time?

@PlummMeanGreen any thoughts on Harris, his lineage with Mercer, and now his position in the SA media market? Lots of nostalgia here, and I was reminded of you for some reason.
