More like the Hall of Very Good.  At least one or two there for sentiment not accomplishments.

Am I reading Tina Slinker's bio correctly? She only had 6 winning seasons in 19 years as our head coach? And she had 8 straight losing seasons from '91-'98. How low were our standards for her to have survived that stretch? Only at UNT does this resume get you into the hall of fame.

8 straight losing seasons and keep your job?  That may be the most unbelievable coaching stat in UNT history regardless of sport.

She is one of my two. Her and Andrew Smith. If DD deserves it is debatable. I understand the Belt titles but still have a hard time with his overall record.

Glad to see that one of my all time favorite receivers, John Love, was an early inductee. Pretty sparse write up, however.

They left out that he was a 7th round pick of the Washington Redskins. They said he set nine school records but didn't mention that he did it in two years. 

They also didn't mention that he was such an exciting football player that he distracted a certain teenage HS Band member (during Homecoming Band Day) from his usual pastime of checking out all the majorettes in the bands that were seated around him......😎
