I'm trying to come up with UNT/NTSU players that have played in the Super Bowl.  I have Joe Greene, and Brian Waters with the Pats in his last season.  I'm blank after that.  Anyone else?

Baker punted for the Rams. Did Shanklin play in one with the Steelers? Awasom was with the Giants but got sent home the week of the Super Bowl, don't know if he got a ring or not.

Not exactly the Super Bowl scenario to remember fondly, but Adrian Awasom did manage to make an headlines despite being on IR...

Game: Super Bowl XLII, Glendale, Arizona (2008)
 
People involved: Adrian Awasom, New York Giants
 
Incident: Being on injured reserve after breaking his neck during the regular season, the backup defensive end just had way too much time on his hands. This can only end poorly. Awasom partied like there was no tomorrow, and ended up getting arrested on suspicion of "extreme DUI," that means he was double the legal limit for all of you non-legal eagles.
 
Result: Awasom was sent home and couldn't even be with his team for one of the greatest upsets in Super Bowl history, as the Giants defeated the undefeated Patriots 17-14. At least he didn't have to pay his own airfare to the game like former Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey.

Also, unfortunately, Jeff Rodgers followed John Fox to Chicago so he won't be coordinating the Broncos' Special Teams unit this time around.

Cedrick Hardman, Oakland Raiders, SuperbowlXV

Didn't Hardman play in a Superbowl with the 49ers?

Edit:  Looked it up, no Superbowl appearance with the 49ers.  However, did you know our man Cedrick was the 9th player picked in the first round of the 1970 NFL draft.  Pretty impressive.

Not Super Bowl, but both Abner Haynes (Texans and Chiefs) and Bobby Smith (Buffalo Bills) played on American Football League championships prior to the Super Bowl.

Didn't Abner Haynes play for the Chiefs when they beat the Vikes in SB IV?

Beasley Reece, New York Giants

Don't think the Giants ever made it to the Super Bowl when Beasley played for them.

He wasn't listed on the roster.  I think he had already retired.

      Surrendering ourselves to a G5 playoff would be disastrous. It would give the P4 all the ammo they need to effectively remove the automatic bid for the highest ranked G5 champ. The correct solution, in today's environment, is to maintain the automatic G5 bid for the main playoffs and have a mixed G5/P4 NIT style tournament as Pernetti suggested. Don't take, add. Wouldn't be a bad idea to allocate future "NIT" and playoff spots per conference based on their previous performances. They do this in Europe for their European tournaments. Each league gets a coefficient rating based on the previous 5 years performance in European competitions. Not performing? You lose spots. Performing? You gain spots. So you know, the ACC going 1-9 so far, the Big12 going 2-7 back in 2022, the SEC going 6-8 and ACC going 2-4 both in 2021 would have some affect on that rating and future potential spots in the playoffs and NIT. No reason the ACC should get 2 spots next year considering this year's playoffs. The rating would just ensure transparency.

      Because the ever present lie of “we could be next” keeps G5 athletic directors, coaches, and fan bases docile. Keep the system just shy of outright exclusion of G5 programs and you can slowly strip away access while claiming that wasn’t the plan all along. It’s why the Power Ball lottery is so popular. Even though the chances of winning are exponentially small for everyone (the G5 programs), everyone will point to that one lady in a far off trailer park (Boise) who hit it big!

      Women at Wichita State (12/29/24)

      Time to see how good or bad this conference is. The women (8-4) travel north to face Wichita State (6-7) in the AAC opener. We beat the Lady Shockers in Denton last year, 72-68. At 8-4, the women are tied with ECU for third best nonconference record in the league. Only UTSA (9-2) and UAB (9-3) are better. However, at 17-7, UNT has the best combined men's and women's basketball record of any program in the AAC. Game is at 1pm on ESPN+.
