Sort of surprising that there are no football players in the 2007 class.

One major oversight: I can't believe that the late, great Walter Chapman is not in the Hall of Fame.

He's one of the best d-lineman I've ever seen at North Texas.

I'm thrilled with these inductees......I know of Jalie, Ros, and Christy---all very worthy. And, Mr. Rutherford's stats speak for themselves.

But, while I'm thinking of it....someone else who should be in the Hall: Jimmy Gales. Coach was a great assistant under Coach Blakely....and as head coach, took us to our first NCAA tournament.

So, those are my two suggestions for 2008:

1) Walter Chapman (for you younger fans....Walter played in the 70's and was IMHO as good as "Booger" Kennedy)

2) Jimmy Gales

Yes, Chapman was a disco era Booger.

Glad other people have joined my annual rant at why isn't Walter Chapman in the HOF. He was the best defensive lineman of the Fry era and maybe the best player on any of Fry's teams. He was good enough that renowned NT coach Bob Tyler when he was at Miss. State devised plays to put him out of the game in two straight years. The hiring of Tyler was a low point among many NT low points.
