Was a little before my time at UNT but I do remember watching him in the NFL.

That was great. Former coach and athletic director Fred McCain told me one time that Carl thought he could cover Jesus, if asked to.

I’ve heard Abner Haynes & Ron Shanklin speak of Carl “Spider” Lockhart with such reverence.

Don’t so many of us who came to Denton after the NFL-draft saturated Mean Green teams of the Joe Greene era wish we could have seen those teams in person? I’m 🤢jealous of all you who did.

• The late Dandy Don Meredith once commented on a Monday Night Football telecast how he was glad SMU never had to play any of those North Texas football teams. He also said he wished (referring to the oft’ played SMU fight song) that whatever was “coming around that mountain” would get around that mountain!😆

GMG!
