Who was playing QB at your first CFB game?

Glory to the Green · May 12

My first CFB game was when I was a freshman at UNT. It was Family Night at Fouts.

QB was Scott Hall vs TCU in 2001

First college football game I ever attended? That would be John Hufnagel.

The QB at my first UNT game (about 22 years later) was Mitch Maher.

I got the combo plate of Richard Bridges and Jason Attaway.

First CFB game would have been very early 80s TCU. First NT game would be 1997 so I guess Jason Mills.

I use to live by Richard, he's a great guy. Last I knew, he was QB Coach at WT White in Dallas.

First UNT game in 2005, Matt Phillips/Daniel Meager were at QB.

I have only been to a handful of non UNT games. One memorable game was the 2006 Independence Bowl. Bobby Reid for Oklahoma State and John Parker Wilson for Alabama. Oklahoma State won the game on a last second FG. Nick Saban took over the program the following month.

Same, plus soph QB Ken Smith, who replaced Washington when he got injured in 28-0 win over Houston in 1975 at Texas Stadium.

Texas vs SMU at the Cotton Bowl in 1977. I was only 6, so only vague memories of Earl Campbell having his jersey ripped off on a run.

Mike Ford for SMU

Randy McEachern for Texas

edit to add: First UNT was Scott Davis, but no idea who we were playing.

Robert Duty: NTSC in 1960 at Fouts.

My earliest memory of an in-person CFB game was at the Sun Bowl. I remember hearing the name Toraino Singleton at RB.

QB had to be John Rayborn. If you go to the year prior, it's a QB that does not sound familiar. I'll roll with Rayborn for the answer to this topic.

Pretty sure it was Jason Mills. Matt Simon's last season

UNTLifer · May 13

Would have to have been Steve Ramsey. I was three sitting in one of my parent's laps at the time.

UNT_FH_FR_YR · May 13

First - Peter Gardere

First UNT - Daniel Meager

fun topic..

i grew up in an Aggie household, so my first game was Corey Pullig facing off against Kevin McDougal (had to look him up).

First NT game in person was Scott Hall vs FAU

GreenFlag · May 13

First game October 29, 1977 SMU @ Texas A&M. David Walker was the QB for the Aggies and Mike Ford was the QB for the Mustangs. Fun fact, the Mean Green beat SMU that year.

My first UNT game was in 1983 as a student with Greg Carter at QB against NMSU.

Underrated and underappreciated QB, IMHO.

I'm young. Derek Thompson and Andrew McNulty.

First CFB game would have been Baylor against some nonconference cupcake in the early 2010s.

First UNT game I went to, I got to witness this atrocity in Austin:

I was wondering when I posted mine if that nightmare was going to be someone’s first. That was difficult to watch even for us grizzled UNT vets. Worst quarterbacking performance I have seen at any level of football in the 40 years I’ve been watching it.

If I recall correctly... We had terrible completing passes in the flats... Hard dose of reality after 2013
