May I ask where/how you came by a full size Flying Worm helmet? I'd love to own one of those.

I recently came across an interview with Coach Nelson, that was done the summer before his first season at North Texas. After reading all of your posts, I was reminded of a passage from that piece. Corky Nelson on his coaching philosophy: "I think over the years it has become important to me to be down to earth, to treat people with respect and in a way that I would like to be treated. That may sound a little corny and old-fashioned, but it really is something that I like to practice. And after I finish coaching a player, I would be very happy if that player would just say that old Nelson was honest, trustworthy, caring and was also an excellent teacher. And for the alumni and supporters, I just hope that they will be able to say that we have put this program in much better shape than it was when we took over." I did not have the pleasure of knowing Coach Nelson as many of you did, but based on your comments, I believe that these words serve as an accurate summarization of his time spent in Denton. Rest in peace Coach Nelson. Here's a link to the full article at the UNT Digital Library: http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc98899/m1/6/
