Yeppers!

In Hayden Fry's 2'nd year at NT (circa, 1974), the Mean Green beat San Diego St. when the Aztecs were ranked in the Top 20 and that was during a year that the MG had a so-so year.

BUILD IT! (Sorry, NT80, had to borrow your battle cry again)!

MG 61....I have every one of those polls in a scrapbook. I guess we made the UPI poll the last 7-8 weeks of that season, as I recall.

The highest we got in that poll that year....was 13th.

That's cool and all,but I would rather be in the top 25 in 2005-06 than in 1977.

If I had to choose between being a top 25 team and having an average of 25K fans in the stands each home game, there's no contest - I'd pick 25K average attendance.

It was also the time that Blakeley's team were tearing up old SWC teams.

A good time to be GREEN

When Steve Ramsey was the NTSU QB there began a rivalry with SDSU. NTSU & SDSU's QB were two of the top QB's in the nation in passing yardage/stats. It was like almost every week there was some sort of update on the major channels about these two QB's. I can not remember the name of the SDSU QB.

The same type of rivalry was brewing, if you remember, between UNT and Holy Cross when we both D-1AA. We tried to set up a series of games but H.C. refused.

WTF?

We've never played Holy Cross in football. How was there a brewing rivalry between us and them?

I've never heard of this. Please explain, EE.
