...kind of like Joe T. Garcia's in Fort Worth.

As my family used to say "Bless your heart". There is hardly anything worse than spending money on a vacation and having it turn out the way that you just described.

The 63 & 64 championships were courtesy of Chuck Curtis. Who won a state championship the year before at Jacksboro. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that any other coach has done this.

I'll take a slower tuff over injuries any day. If it's slower for us, then it's slower for our opponents.

Depending on who you are, you might get a civil answer from Mandy......again, depending on who you are.

You mean when Dickey was hired? I have no earthly idea who that (or they) might have been since I had suspended my involvement with athletics at that time (the Helwig era).

The renewal package hasn't been mailed out yet. At least I haven't seen one.

I forgot about Rex Johnson. He was a JUCO transfer (originally from Electra) and he was Kodak 1st team All-American in 1988. Corky sure knew how to assess talent.

Let's hope that the OL is healthy.

Stanley didn't look 6'2" X 290. He looked more like 6'1" x 275.

All are welcome to make their own nominations. Kevin is a good choice. In looking at the 02 press guide, it looks as if Vidal Carlin, the QB who was throwing to John Love during the 65 & 66 season was a JUCO player as well. Carlin's passing totals for both years was 3233 yards. Not bad.

Jack, who would you say was the most successful JUCO that NT ever signed? My vote goes to John Love (65 & 66), 144 receptions (third all time) and 2977 total all-purpose yards (7th all time). All that in two years.

What? No quitter talk yet? I'm shocked!........

Good for them. I'm looking forward to the day when we (once again) have that much confidence in our team.

When I graduated, they gave me the option of signing over some University fees that were to be returned to me, to be enrolled in the Exes. The Exes then collected the fees from the University. Do they not offer that option to graduates any longer?

It could also explain why he was totally absent from the spring prospectus. I just thought it was incompetence on the part of the person writing the prospectus. It could be that he left at the request of the coaches. But it could also be a case of the player feeling that his position with the team was mis-represented during the recruitment process ie "come here kid and you'll be a starter".

can you post a link?

Maybe you can be the most infamous person out of Alvord.

Who was it? Neal Wilson or Ronnie Gage?

This is intended for Zeke. I was always told by my wife that Alvord's main claim to fame was an Actor named Guinn "Big Boy" Williams. This web-site says that he's actually from Decatur.......and he also attended North Texas. http://www.surfnetinc.com/chuck/bigboy.htm

Supposedly, you can't dig down very far because of the water table. And that (supposedly) prevents the field from being lowered. It was also reported that TXDOT will be taking some of the property on the west side of Fouts (the whole parking lot) for I-35 expansion within the next 10 years. I'm not sure, but I think that that would render Fouts pretty useless as a stadium.

Decatur High School....The Eagles. Colors, Blue and White. While attending DHS, the Eagles won three district championships and two bi-district championships. We lost both Regional games (played at Fouts) to Plano.

Do you think the Eagle in that shirt looks too..... war-like

Well, if North Texas and SMU both wear their "I didn't come here to lose" t-shirts under their uni's during their opening games, then the results could be encouraging enough for fans on both sides to come out in record numbers for the game at Fouts. Under the above mentioned circumstances.....sell-out and SRO. If not, then I tend to agree with LongJim and others......27.5K

Nice and generic.
