I think that Turney guy had something...

[PerryG2480]

Of those, I remember the following making contributions with a lot of playing time:

Conder

Hobbs

C. Jones (was a stud)

Marshall (even though there were some untimely drops, he was a decent receiver overall)

McGee (was solid)

McIver (good player)

Muenchow

Pearl (who could forget the pick 6 in New Orleans)

Turney (rock solid on the o-line)

That's all that really rings a bell for me.

The players in bold are the ones I know contributed. Who else?

I think Hobbs was pretty good

[Cerebus]

Also Muenchow is one of the most under rated players from that era.

[FirefightnRick]

Turney played his first year('99)and the first half of the next August('00) camp at DL. Then a week before the season started he was moved to O tackle. He was starting by the third game, all after coming off of knee AND foot surgery.

Rick

[UNTLifer]

Also Muenchow is one of the most under rated players from that era.

One of the, if not the, best blocking TE we ever had, and made quite a few timely catches.

[ADLER]

I think that Turney guy had something...

Yeah, rumor is that he had it several times and had to keep going to the Student Health Center for penicillin.

Just kiddin' OGG.

[UNT_playmaker]

Don Neon McGEE was one of my all time favorite players, he was awesome to watch....

Craig Jones was good and George Marshall was great

[DeepGreen]

Luke Conder- Solid player

Ian Hobbs - A fine center until he busted his leg

Ty Jackson-Didn't he fumble against a$m that changed the course of the game? Or was that someone else?

Craig Jones- One of the best

George Marshall- Decent receiver for DD's offense

Noah Mayes, 6-2, 325, OL, Belton

Don McGee- What else can I say

Chris McIver- Solid

Jeff Muenchow-Best tight end I've seen play at NT

Jeremy Pearl-Solid

Matt Turney- Never heard of him.

[TheColonyEagle]

I've always thought Craig Jones was one of the most important players of our championship run.

Very underrated and one of the most solid players we had.

That combination of Buckles and Jones roaming around back there was awesome and we haven't seen anything like that since.

Craig Jones was good and George Marshall was great at dropping passes

FIXED

[Cerebus]

FIXED

Marshall had some terrible drops, but some big time catches. Game winners @ASU and NMSU just off the top of my head.

He was also pretty much a third good run blocking TE out there. He put ALOT of DB's on thier butt.

Great WR blocking is what turns a 5 yard gain into a 25 yard end run.

[greenminer]

FIXED

But he was SO good at making that first guy miss, even if they weren't really after him.

Wasn't it Tubby Coleman that fumbled the punt?

[DeepGreen]

Wasn't it Tubby Coleman that fumbled the punt?

Yes, I think you are correct. My apologies to Ty Jackson.

[Guest GrayEagleOne]

Wasn't it Tubby Coleman that fumbled the punt?

Yes, it was Coleman who fumbled against A&M in 1997. Ty Jackson was part of the '99 class but I keep feeling that he was involved in some dramatic play in maybe 2000. Can anyone recall?

[TheColonyEagle]

Didn't he have a couple of big punt returns in the championship game vs NMSU at Fouts in '02?
