Porter scheduled to start? Did I just imagine him leaving both the Army and UTSA games holding his shoulder?

I hate to help you out in any way, but Houston had some pretty signature wins back in the 60's that got them noticed. They beat #3 Michigan State 37-7 in 1967, in 68 they tied #4 Texas and #7 Georgia, and beat Tulsa a NCAA record 100-6. Those were the days of Warren McVea and the veer.

Nicely done.

Totally agree. I remember when it was announced that Corkey Nelson was hired. Since he had previously been the DL coach under Rod Rust my first response was "well at least he knows what he's getting himself into".

....and ably assisted by the SilverEagle/Firefightenrick consortium.

We need to find the Patrick Cobbs of DC's. How impressive is a coach who is down to his third or fourth string RB and coaches/develops him to get 192 yards against UTSA.,,,,,with a bum shoulder.

And that is certainly one of the opinions about NT football of all time.

And it was Craig Helwig that hired him, NOT RV. And, up to the DD hiring, I thought CH was the worst AD we had ever had. Don't ask me to choose now. In fact RV and DD didn't even like one another at all. SO, you had a coach setting a winning record in conference play and an AD that only supplied minimal support to him. Only at UNT..........😠

OH ABSOLUTELY!

It was Hayden Fry who came in and set about to change the culture of the athletic department. Toward that end he took the nickname that was being used for the defense and made it the nickname for the whole team. He then changed the shade of green that the teams wore, and he had someone create a very unique Logo for the Helmet. Which happened to be a "stylized Eagle".....aka the "flying worm". The Eagle is our mascot, and Mean Green is our nickname. Thank you Sydney Sue Graham. And thank you Hayden Fry.

I hope that your source is correct. C-4 is doing a fantastic job as the starting QB. I've often wondered how much better he would be doing if he had been here in the spring.

You have it correct. We are currently 5-4, and three more make 12.

1 foot/yard from the goal line is where two things are pretty important. 1. You need to have linemen who are not only big, but they are also very strong for their size and quick off the line. THEN you need a RB that is a cross between a bowling ball and a battering ram........and also very quick off the line. Someone with very well developed thighs. Attaway used to be that guy, and our current "lost for the season RB" Harris (#44 on your program) appeared to be that kind of guy. If those two things are not doable, then you need a tight end who has very sure hands and is good at fighting for the ball. That would be Oscar Hammond (#23 on your program) who I never saw out on the field yesterday. Considering the injury attrition that has gone on this year, I would say that Morris and his staff have cobbled together an impressive group of scrappers/overachievers. For example, our starting RB yesterday, (who I am very impressed with) is a converted WR transfer from Kansas St.

Who's back from injury for the Army game. I am assuming that whatever took C-4 to the sideline (in great pain) has been attended to. Porter left the game twice with what looked like (boy language wise) a separated shoulder. Does any "insider" have any info on him and other missing starters from early in the season?

Actually, the whole defense. Randy Galloway did the story back in 1967 The Mean Green Moniker – University of North Texas Athletics
