Most Important Names in NT Football history

[meangreendork]

Who do you think were the most important names and players? FYI- I'm gonna forego the expected NCAA football cover and try something different.

Mean Joe Greene, Burks Washington, Abner Haynes, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, yada, yada, yada...

I would like a Dr. Phil NCAA cover.

Let's stick to guys who wore the NT football jersey and toughed it out on the field.

A very important "name" in UNT's football history is:

Coach Odus Mitchell 1946-1966,

winningest coach in NT history (122-85-9),

broke the color barrier in 1956 leading the way for black players to be able to participate in Texas college football.

And one of the nicest men you could ever want to meet. I grew up with his grandchildren and to this day remember Coach Mitchell riding around the old golf course in his gas cart with the fringe around the roof.

Jamario Thomas/Pat Cobbs - they will and are given the little mean green national media coverage and some degree of respect.
