Well deserved, glad to see us reach across the fence on this one.

[MeanGreenMailbox aka TFLF]

Wish he was going in with at least one former player.  But...good enough as it is.  Overdue. 

[Hunter Green]

Glad to see Darrell included. Despite the controversy, it's well deserved.

[KRAM1]

Wonder if he will show up for the induction ceremony? Certainly hope so as he does have lots of fans still around.

Aren't these usually during the season?   Highly likely he won't unless it happens to coincide with a bye week for Memphis.  But I bet he sends Diet Coke Boy in his place.

[southsideguy]

i doubt he would come here for the award.  

[Huff]

Well deserved honor.  I liked the man and enjoyed watching his teams play.

I'd bet he will show up.  The real question is if he'll wear an all black suit.

I can have no legitimate opinion on Dickey since I wasn't here.  I just came for the popcorn. 

[SAGreenFan]

Dickey deserves to be in it.

In that case, here are some memories from the pinnacle of the Dickey Days:

I thought I was about to watch an episode of Bordain's no reservations lol

[GrayEagle]

As Drex said love him or hate hime and I guess I did a little of both.  I liked him fine as a person and had mixed feelings about his career here.  The four bowl years are likely HOF worthy; his other five years were mediocre.  My biggest gripe was the classless black uniform finale.  Pretty disrespectful to something that had been your livelihood for the last nine years.

Oh yeah, the way Dickey left was really classless. I didn't say I liked his inclusion to the HOF. Plus didn't his OC Ramon Flannigan try to fight one of y'all in the middle of a game?

He had an overall losing record, we are really desperate to find deserving candidates.

Diet Coke Boy is no longer in the state.  Not sure he could make it.

 

I wonder if this will make Mattress Mac happy. 

[RBP79]

I'm glad he's in. That stretch of conference titles want be beat for a while....classless? Look no further than who his boss was. That final game..he knew the end was near and gave RV the finger.

More Dickey memories:  1999 season featuring wins over Texas Tech and Boise State...

 

[UNTLifer]

Not deserving. 

[ttunt1970]

Gray Eagle I'm with you about the black uniforms, I'm sure he will wear black and in his speech tell all the people not to  trust  all the

m'fers on the selection committee.

[Mean Green 93-98]

I not only wonder if DD will show up, I wonder if RV will be there.  That meeting would be interesting to see.

[Harry]

Sources telling me Dickey can't be here for induction, however he is coming for their bye weekend which is when we play UTEP.

[UNT 90 Grad]

One more Dickey memory:

When he does make it back to campus one side of Apogee wears black practice jerseys, the other side wears green sweater vests.
