This is a sad loss. Alzheimer's is terrible to deal with both as a patient and a caregiver. For someone who had the incredible command of detail that Fred did it must have been especially difficult. As a close friend pointed out when her grandmother passed from Alzheimer's, "I'm glad she's not confused anymore." Now Fred can tell stories to a whole new audience. He will be greatly missed.

I hate to hear it; from what I've experienced, death is almost a blessing in the case of alzheimer's. For what it's worth, here's a link that I thought was cool; I saw it this morning, but now can't link throught to it; some of you may be able to; it uses the "mean green" term to talk about a hybrid high performance concept car.

"Mean Green" used to refer to hybrid vehicle.

During my days at NT, I remember talking to Fred Graham several times.

Graham was a good guy, and always talking about NT athletics. He loved

NT just like all of us. I would like to see Fred Graham honored with a

induction into the NT sports hall of fame.

From the article:

"Graham was inducted into the UNT Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996. He later worked for the Texas Sports Hall of Fame."

Maybe we can work on getting him into the Texas Sports HoF, since he is already in the NT HoF?

    1. 1

      Minnesota

      Game shows to be on B1G+ which is 12.99 per month. Hopefully there's other options for the local UNT fans. I get tired of subscribing and canceling to random streaming services. To add, I dislike scheduling opponents who will only offer live streaming through their service. I'd rather play a smaller midmajor on ESPN+ than Minnesota. Oh well.

      If this isn’t a sellout…

      If this isn’t a sellout, then we may never sellout DATCU. We’re having a great season. Exciting offense with star QB. Record enrollment. Playing a BRAND NAME school with huge following that is nationally ranked. I, personally, bought 13 tickets and invited friends. Will be disappointed if this isn’t a sellout.

      WBB at Oregon (11/12/24)

      The 2-0 ladies deserve a game thread. After taking care of business against two D1 opponents this week, they travel to Eugene to play an Oregon Ducks team in what should be a winnable game. The Lady Ducks are 2-0 after wins over California Baptist and Nevada, but are coming off a season in which they finished last in the Pac-12 at 11-21, 2-16 and lost in the conference tournament to Colorado, 79-30. After SFA transfer Kyla Deck led the way against Alcorn State with 27 points, the ladies used a much more balanced effort yesterday to beat Texas Southern. Four were in double figures: Moore with 20, Wooten with 16, Hardaway with 15, and Lampkin with 11. The ladies play at a fast pace but still are too sloppy with the ball from what I picked up yesterday. This will be a great opportunity for a win against a power conference opponent.

      Morris Weekly Press Conference (11/05/24)

      Yes he did. It would be assisting to not acknowledge it. But notice he also said the result wasn’t satisfactory “the last couple of weeks.” It has been two years.
