I was looking at some of the historical articles that Harry has been posting in the "gallery" section and one really struck me. I read on here consistently that if you sign more than 6 or 7 Juco's in any signing class it hurts your program in the long run. Get a load of this......

Here is an article (from 1977) about Hayden Fry and his desire to get NT into the SWC. 

Some people might have thought he was delusional, but as our Jewish friends might say, he had chutzpah.

Wow.  Great stuff.  1977 was a very exciting time for North Texas and a huge shame we couldn't build on it.  Instead, we went backwards ... way backwards.  It is nice to know that even back then we were outdrawing SMU (18,500 for us vs 6,900 for SMU).

The number 18 spot is No Texas State.  Oddly number 20 is North Carolina State.  I realize the difference is that directional vs the name of that state but I hate being "No Texas."

 

Maybe if we made more appearances in the top 25, writers would get to know our name.
