Wonder if the Hayden Fry Show from that era is archived anywhere?

[untjim1995]

I wonder if our fans back then ever imagined what things would look like after Fry left here after winning 40 games in his 6 seasons here…

I was at that UNT vs UT game.  We played better than those film clips show.

We were robbed! I was at game, had seats on about the 5 yard line, and the receiver who caught the Texas  winning touchdown looked clearly out of bounds.

Wait !  This isn’t the “great robbery in Austin” game.  That was a Corkey Nelson coached game.   This is much earlier  than that.  Right ?

Yes, we were "robbed" a couple times in Austin.

Corky Nelson was in 1AA about ‘83. Hayden’s were in ‘76 ( biggest guarantee NT ever got. Darrell Royal said if we were good enough to play we were good enough to split the gate. Also nice that President of UT was Loraine Rogers an NT alum). Earl Campbell beat us in ‘76 not UT (Miss. State clipped our best defensive player out of bounds and put him out for UT game). Jordan Case was QB for second Fry game against UT( about ‘79). We ran a reverse with a pass at the end of the play. The UT DB was soo confused that he tripped over his own feet trying to get back and a floater of a pass got caught at the one. Both UT games with Fry were thrillers. People who think we should have stayed in Missouri Valley did not know that the expansion committee in that league met secretly and added Indiana State and Illinois State when Fry wanted to add Southern Miss. We had the votes to get into SWC but TCU &  SMU LOBBIED to keep us out. I was in NT President’s box for Corky’s game. UT Presidents box was right next to us. The UT President was profusely sweating when we were nine points up going into fourth quarter. Only time I ever saw UT students allowed around the end zone and on the field.  The refs could not tell where the end line of the end zone was and called a TD even though they could not tell if receiver was in or out. Maybe the best job of scouting and coaching I have ever seen and we had 1AA limits on number of players which really hurt us in fourth quarter when defense was really tired.

Fry beat SMU by 2 tds in TX Stadium in ‘76. Only win EVER in Dallas for NT over ‘Stangs. Fry lost 6-7 in first outing against SMU in TX Stadium. Extra point looked good to me but Dallas refs though otherwise.

Heard stories back in the 80s (I was a student at NTSU) about SWC officials and some verifiable direct evidence in 1988. But the officiating looked okay to me in the 78 UT/NTSU game. UT got called for a face mask and Unec roughness calls at key moments of the game.

UT's defense looked really good. They were big and physical.

NTSU's kicking game really sucked. There were some less than 30 yard punts and a missed (very short) FG in the '78 game. 

Really liked to see the NTSU cheerleaders so fired up on the sideline. Just wow.

Thanks for sharing NT80.
