Interesting stuff. I guess ESPN gets the numbers on how many view a game on +? -

How North Texas built the G5's best passing attack
I agree, offensively. However, with the good comes the bad, as does Leach's Air Raid Defense mentality. -

How North Texas built the G5's best passing attack
I was a student at NTSU when Hayden Fry had the program winning. We were building fans, waking up Denton, and forming a culture with the new "Mean Green" marketing. Basketball was also doing well with Bill Blakeley. It was a fun time to be a student at games. But then Iowa came and lured Coach Fry away. We understood about his opportunity for a Big10 job and to go to a large, established program. But it still hurt. His replacement Jerry Moore soon took all the built-up excitement out of our program. Losing a winning coach is a lot more difficult than seeing the 7-8 losing coaches in my time leave. Coach Fry was fond of his time at NT. He told me so several years later and at an event honoring him and Coach Blakeley. We hired him right after he had been fired at Smut. He came back to campus here several times. Iowa named a street after him on their campus: "Hayden Fry Way".- 1
