50 years ago. 17-15. Looking back I guess I've forgotten more final scores of NT games than I remember. But there is one that I have never forgotten and that's the final score of our game against the Razorbacks in 1968. The "oh, so close" game. The "almost" game. The "if only" game. Our chance to make all of them sit up and take notice game. What a team we had and I've waited for 50 years for us to go back to Arkansas and get revenge!!!! Watching the guys on the SEC channel play down UNT, I hope this great group of young men who make up our 2018 team will dig down for something deeper inside themselves and bring home a victory for those guys on the '68 team, those of us who have waited so long, and for the glory of North Texas. GoMeanGreen. Fly Like An Eagle! From the 1968-69 Yucca: “Eagles put Razorbacks on the ropes; Scare Pigs before bowing out by two It was a perfect night for football at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Ark. The Eagles poured onto the field and looked at the crowd of 45,000, the biggest they had ever seen. They looked across the field at the Arkansas Razorbacks as they warmed up. They must have wondered if they were in the right place; a stadium full of screaming fans, a nationally ranked, big-name team facing them. This indeed was the Big Time. However, when it was all over the fans were silent and somehow the men of the Ozarks didn’t look quite so big. NT had met the Hogs and had stunned them before bowing out on the short end of a 17-15 score. The Mean Green held on through three quarters by keeping Arkansas from making the big plays and trailed by a 17-3 score. Then havoc broke loose as NT squelched the Razorback offense and exploded for two touchdowns. A third, game-winning score was called back by a pass trapping call. Quarterback Steve Ramsey had one of his finer nights as he completed his first nine passes and went on to hit 21 of 35 for 240 yards. Sophomore Leo Taylor bulled his way upfield for 111 yards and one touchdown. Barry Moore gathered in 10 passes for 155 yards and a TD. But the total feeling was one of frustration for NT as they missed scoring opportunities twice on the one-yard line. All in all, it wasn’t a bad showing for the Eagles, as the game billed as a breather for the Razorbacks, left the Hogs themselves breathing hardest.”

Voted. Mason in first with 24% of the votes.

Yes, he does! Bet he could also carry the mail on 3rd and short?

We met in HS and married while at NTSU ('71). As others have stated "she tolerates" going to the games, just as she tolerated my short HS coaching career. It costs me a shopping trip per game! Hey, even got her to go to a basketball game last year. Our first roundball game in 50 years! See y'all in a week!! Fly Like An Eagle!

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Guess we recruited this young man as a TE, but reading this in the 2017 DCTxF caused a flashback to a time when Cedrick Hardman made the transition from DB to DE. Hey, that worked out pretty well for everyone!

LB with wheels! Lots of possibilities.

Should I assume that the following report is referring to a more "modern day record" in the javelin? Bill Schmidt won the 1969 North Texas Relays with a throw of 221-11; had a 1970 State of Texas best throw of 260-10 and went on to record a throw of 272-11 1/2 in a meet in February of that same year. March 17, 2018 Final Results FORT WORTH – Javier Lopez-Ibarra and Bailey Ashmore broke school records in javelin and pole vault to highlight track and field’s first outdoor meet of the season Saturday at the TCU Invitational at Lowdon Track and Field Complex. Lopez-Ibarra, on his first attempt, threw a school-record in javelin at 66.55 meters (218-04 feet), finishing in first place.

The Mean Green is in the House! Bronze medal winner in the javelin at the '72 Munich Olympics, North Texas alumni, Bill Schmidt (on the right) and his brother Bob (on the left), at The Finals NCAA Wrestling Championships in Cleveland. Great shirt!

4.56 6'3" 200 lbs. Must be a lot of quality WR/S out there this year. Love our Oklahoma guys.

Love the numbers: 6'2" 210-220 WR/TE/FS and runs a 4.4. Fly Like An Eagle

Nice. Good wheels on this young man. Fly like an Eagle.

Gibbs runs a 4.4 so, yes, I would think that he would be a CB possibility.

Height & Weight: 6'3" 290lbs 40 Yard Dash: 4.83 Shuttle: 4.48 Nothing wrong with those numbers. Needs more upper body strength, but that can be quickly improved.

4.45 40. Speed at every position allows for lots of possibilities.
