This is a sad loss. Alzheimer's is terrible to deal with both as a patient and a caregiver. For someone who had the incredible command of detail that Fred did it must have been especially difficult. As a close friend pointed out when her grandmother passed from Alzheimer's, "I'm glad she's not confused anymore." Now Fred can tell stories to a whole new audience. He will be greatly missed.

I hate to hear it; from what I've experienced, death is almost a blessing in the case of alzheimer's. For what it's worth, here's a link that I thought was cool; I saw it this morning, but now can't link throught to it; some of you may be able to; it uses the "mean green" term to talk about a hybrid high performance concept car.

"Mean Green" used to refer to hybrid vehicle.

During my days at NT, I remember talking to Fred Graham several times.

Graham was a good guy, and always talking about NT athletics. He loved

NT just like all of us. I would like to see Fred Graham honored with a

induction into the NT sports hall of fame.

From the article:

"Graham was inducted into the UNT Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996. He later worked for the Texas Sports Hall of Fame."

Maybe we can work on getting him into the Texas Sports HoF, since he is already in the NT HoF?

      Morris signals it is over

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.

      If the basis for this is simply "not Power conference", then sure. The scholarship allotments suggest difference is level of play, though. I know NIL has negated a lot of that at the current P5/G5 level, but I would think that once you get past a certain point, outside the bubble of the P4, the impact of NIL could be watered down and you will still see scholarship limits play into the level of competition in front of you.

      After UAB swept us in the regular season, then proceeded to win more games we needed them to lose, and lose games we needed them to win, it's nice for ECU to put an end to their season. Hopefully we can win our fourth straight against the Pirates tomorrow.

      Seton Hall star Kadary Richmond enters transfer portal

      If her team doesn't win, her market value and name recognition will quickly decline. The team as a whole and coach make the value.
