Houston Chronicle Article On Johnny

Hope someone can link to the huge article in today's paper on Johnny. Great start to my morning. Long time overdue but shocked it is in the Houston paper.

Thanks for the heads up ! I found 2 articles about UNT.

Other than getting the year (it's 1988, not 1998) wrong on the first banner - excellent stories. Glad to see this kind of ink for JJ and company.

Thanks! I haven't subscribed to the Chronicle for years - I would have missed it. I'll have to go out and buy a copy today.

It is surprising that the story is today, not when we played Rice, TSU, or SHSU.

Despite not considering the "Knox Factor" I thought it was a great article! Glad to see increased pressure/expectations for this program around the state.

What do 'ya expect from another Chowd coming down here and taking jobs away? Wish I was still down there to spike his Starbucks! At least the kid had the balls to write on another School in the State, compared to the Chronicle's Godfather, ie. Barron!

You win at our level and you lose coaches for doing it. I still think we'd all love to start losing more coaches in football and basketball the next 40 years instead of what we've seen the last 40 where we basically had only one coach leave and then he truly making it happen at the place he moved to.

Hell, any school can annually field losers and just keep hanging onto the the same staff (and that also counts administrative staff, too). I know of one school that has specialized in doing that most my life post UNT-graduation.

SMU will have to fight to keep June Jones the next year or so because he will eventually want to start playing before much larger audiences than SMU will ever give him. Their having 17,000 at the "Fill Ford" promo just weeks before they went bowling I'm sure left an indelible impression on him albeit in a most negative way. Just sayin'...

GMG!

PS: Great Houston area pub for Coach Jones and UNT, though.
