On this Throwback weekend, here is a little video number 1 son turned up of old #72, Freshman Joe Greene. Title is misspelled, and much of the video focuses on Tech. But the game was at Fouts (some validation that the locker room and shower space was inadequate long before I watched games there) and North Texas wins 28-12 in 1965. Mean Joe karma.

Edit: I will concur with the historians on here. I was thinking the scoreboard designates the home team on the right (the empty seats were another clue!). Upon further review, I am taking a self-inflicted whistle for Fake News. The score continues to reflect an NT win, Mean Joe remains #72 and his last name remains misspelled in the video's title. I also stand by the Mean Joe karma. Validation expected Saturday. #BeatLaTech

Are you sure that was at Fouts?  By the look of the scoreboard, and the car driving right behind it, I would think it was in Lubbock.

Tech wasn't called the "Red Raiders" back then?  Or was "Picadors" a separate name for the freshman team?

Is it because it's in black and white that I don't see the track in Fouts or was it not installed yet? 

That's another clue that it isn't in Fouts.

The Varsity was the Matadors.  This is the First Time I've heard them called the Picadors, so this is definitely the Freshman Team.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
