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.

      I think you will see dramatic drop off in interest if that happens. The casual CFB fan without a passionate attachment to a particular team is a small market. College Basketball found that out the hard way. Your purely market driven model applied to the NFL 40 years ago robs the league of Carolina Panthers, Houston or Tennessee franchises, Baltimore or Cleveland franchise, the Jaguars an maybe even Green Bay (if they were poorly managed and never found Brett Farve). Hell even the New Orleans Saints would be on thin ice with hurricane Katrina without the Drew Bree and Sean Patton era. What I think is best would be about 30-40 FBS teams going back down to FCS. And I think a conference like the MAC just doesn’t belong at the FBS level. And basically any team that has jumped up to FBS after 2000 should be critically examined and forced to go back down if they haven’t met certain criteria in on the field achievement.

      Portal players leaving

      I think you’re right. Morris, DT, Mercer, and Hammond.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.
