Dr. Phil McGraw

[DeepGreen]

...Or am I wrong?

If he is, he's on the cover of Newsweek Magazine. Here's the link.

Dr. Phil

I scanned the article and there's no mention of North Texas.

“I grew up in athletics, where people keep score,” says McGraw, who, at a sturdy 6 feet 4, still looks a little like the college linebacker he once was. “It’s not about what you tried to do, it’s about the results. Life is a full-contact sport, and there’s a score up on the board.”

Well, did he play for the mean green?

Dr. Phil is "Doctor" Phil because he received his Phd in Psychology from the University of North Texas...That was mentioned a couple of weeks ago in a very lengthy feature article in the Dallas Morning News.

Ya' think somebody from the middle part of Tennessee may have written that article on our very visible North Texas Ex, Deep Green?

The only way most of us on GMG.com ever find out about all the rich and famous who are North Texas Exes is (amazingly enough) in our annual Mean Green football media guide that has a full page spread on the subject. Our football media guide is a most informative reference book (and covers more than just football) that any North Texas Ex would be proud to have in their library.

He recieved his doctorate from UNT (then NTSU), I don't think he ever played football here.

And for the record, I do not watch Oprah.

[NT75]

He is not listed as a letterwinner at UNT.

Oprah is making him a very wealthy man.

[UNTLifer]

He played linebacker for Tulsa, not sure when. Got his Phd. from UNT.

Someone(Plumm) needs to email Newsweeks "letters to the Editor" and mention that old Phil is a UNT Alum.
