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.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.

      UTSA is the only victor today. Not a good round for the American.
