By the time he had graduated, he had set nine school records.

[Big Al GREEN]

Steve Ramsey

Not Steve Ramsey.

Hint: A song by the rock band KISS had nothing to do with this player.

[Marty]

John Love ( Calling Dr Love)?

Marty wins. I was trying to find some obscure facts but there is very little out there on Mr. Love.

Is John still alive? If so, wonder if he ever comes to NT football games?

[UNTLifer]

The Wikipedia page says that he is 79 years old.  It doesn't state much more, so your guess is as good as mine.

John Love was in attendance at the Joe Greene statue event. When Joe was making his comments about his time at North Texas, he mentioned some memorable teammates, including John Love. In saying his name, he looked over at a very frail looking man and nodded in his direction. Afterward I approached the man and asked if he was John Love. There was a woman, who could have been his wife, who answered and during my conversation with him (which was very short) helped Mr. Love stay steady. Just shaking his hand caused him to almost lose his balance. I told him that he was probably one of my all-time favorite players. He was very appreciative, and he appeared to be glad to be recognized.......but he really wasn't there. I was too late.

I would be very surprised if he is still alive.
