This morning WBAP sports guy Steve Lamb reported on the inductees into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Lamb, a zero U grad, usually has given the Mean Green major props in the past, and after the 2002 win over Cincy told his partner Hal Jay, a HUGE TCU HORNED FROG supporter, that his frogs probably couldn't beat the Mean Green "Right Now" because they were playing such good ball. But this morning Steve got it wrong, reporting that Abner Haynes was the first black player to play in the Southwest Conference. I immediately tried to call but they are not answering their call in number so I sent Steve an email. He's been good to us for several years, but we need to let him know that Haynes played for North Texas, in the Missouri Valley and preceded Jerry Levias at SMU by nearly 10 years, led the Mean Green to the '59 Sunbowl against New Mexico State and that he still currently holds records for the Kansas City Chiefs. Lamb needs to recieve a wave of emails by the Mean Green Nation to let him know how many of us there are out here and that we care about our legends and that outsiders getting our history right.

Again, be polite, but let him have it.

Sent one in yesterday with no reply.

Don't count on one. I emailed him and politely asked why he chose to ignore UNT's tournament win against Ark St, but mentioned the Horse Slaughter on the Hilltop. I listen on my way to work and hear at least 4 of his morning sports updates. Hal Jay, the morning anchor, is a TCU fan. I never really hear much about UNT on their morning show.

You usually have to make good press to get mentioned. Hal Jay's son played for TCU a few years back so that's why he's such a homer for them I figure? It was great the year TCU beat zero U a few years back because Lamb took the next day off for some reason? But when NT beat Cincy in the bowl game he outright told Jay that TCU couldn't hang with NT at that time of the season and Jay didn't argue. Still, nothing is going to change on this radio station or any other media outlet concerning North Texas until this university decides it's had enough being ignored and make the commitment to fix THE PROBLEM. Until then, the bleeding will continue.

I'm willing to bet Emmitt and Lera raise their daughter as a fan of the Mean Green as so many of the rest of us are. But what about the other 33,900 future alumni?

      Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?

      I was wondering when I posted mine if that nightmare was going to be someone’s first. That was difficult to watch even for us grizzled UNT vets. Worst quarterbacking performance I have seen at any level of football in the 40 years I’ve been watching it.

      Kansas to the SEC?

      I agree. Stanford, Kansas, and Notre Dame could all wind up in the Big 10, while Virginia and North Carolina should get to choose between Big 10 and SEC membership. For what it's worth, (sorry Buffalo), Missouri could also leave the SEC for the Big 10.

      LINK: https://www.nilcollegeathletelitigation.com/media/4660999/clge_not_240306.pdf https://www.nilcollegeathletelitigation.com/?utm_source=gdn&utm_medium=natl&utm_campaign=clge UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA If you were denied NIL compensation opportunities any time between 2016-2023, your rights may be affected by a class action lawsuit. A federal court authorized this notice. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer. A class action lawsuit has been filed against the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and Pac-12 Conference, Big Ten Conference, Big 12 Conference, Southeastern Conference, and Atlantic Coast Conference, including Notre Dame. (“Power Five Conferences”). The lawsuit claims certain NCAA rules that prevented student-athletes from receiving compensation for the commercial use of their names, images, and likenesses (NIL) and prohibited NCAA conferences and schools from sharing any NIL revenue they receive with student-athletes were anticompetitive. You may be included in the lawsuit if you are a current or former college athlete who received a full Grant-in-Aid (GIA) scholarship and compete on, or competed on, a Division I men’s or women’s basketball team or an FBS football team, at a college or university that is a member of one of the Power Five Conferences (including Notre Dame), any time between June 15, 2016 and November 3, 2023 OR who competed on a Division I athletic team prior to July 1, 2021 and received compensation while a Division I college athlete for the use of your NIL between July 1, 2021 and November 3, 2023. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS DO NOTHING If you do nothing you are choosing to stay in the lawsuit. You will be eligible to share in any money that may be obtained through continued litigation or settlement. You will be bound by past and any future court rulings on, or settlement of, the claims against Defendants, and you will not be able to pursue your own claims against them. EXCLUDE YOURSELF If you exclude yourself from the lawsuit (i.e. opt out), you will not be able to share in any money that may be obtained in this case through continued litigation or settlement. You will not be bound by any past or future rulings against Defendants. You may pursue your own claims against Defendants. These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the notice. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or not. Please read the entire notice carefully by clicking HERE.
