Nt Hall Of Fame Construction Begins

Green Means Go! · July 19, 2007

I got to see some of this last night at the Athletic Center. For one thing, when you walk into the AC......there is now a great montage of photos of great UNT athletes, past and present. Here's some photos from meangreensports.com:

Who was Terry Don Parks?

Who was Terry Don Parks?

One guess....he's the former "standout" running back, who signed a check to have the new Hall of Fame named after him.

Actually, I've never heard of Mr. Parks either.

Personal wish: I wish that the official site (www.meangreensports.com) had a Hall of Fame section, where it listed all of the folks in the HOF. Because there are lots of times, when I wonder if "so and so" is in the HOF. For example, is running back great Bernard Jackson in the HOF? I have no clue.

And Mr. Parks, kudos to you for having the HOF named after you....no matter what the reason.

Wow, some great stuff in there. I've been waiting to see this kind of stuff since the place opened.

My memory keeps getting fuzzier and fuzzier but I can help a little here. The reason that you've heard little about Terry Don Parks is because he happened to be the "other" halfback (as they were called in those days) to #28....the great Abner Haynes. I'm thinking that he was from Lewisville but don't hold me to that.

As to Bernard Jackson being in the NT Hall of Fame.....yes, he is (1998).

I'm right there with you on a HOF section in meangreensports.com.
