Only One Of The Best Mean Green Players Ever...

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

...and one of the best NFL Mean Green ever. Certainly, the best receiver to come out of North Texas:

This is a rare item. And, lovely.

...and he never played a down of WR at North Texas. John Thomas Smith (#44 on your program) was an outstanding receiver in HS (Sweetwater?), but he as a ball-hawking-hard-hitting safety at North Texas. He was also one of the best all time punt returners at North Texas.

I'd put him in as a starter at safety on my all-time NT defense.

And it is especially great since JT didn't play WR at NTSU. He was a DB.

Better than Ronnie Shanklin?!?

Well, not so certainly. There was a certain Ron Shanklin. He didn't have that stats of J.T., but his big-game exposure was impressive.

Are you trying to start a bidding war?

That is awesome. J.T. is one of my all time favorite NT players, I followed his career from NT to the Redskins, Chiefs, and Cardinals.

[greenminer]

Kathy Ireland would beat them all.

JT Smith was a Big Spring Steer.

JT Smith was a Big Spring Steer.

Big Spring! Thanks, I knew he was from one of those Godforsaken west Texas towns.

I believe J.T. still holds the longest interception returned for t.d. in NT history, 100 yards against LaTech.

[UNTLifer]

I think TJ Covington set the record against Utah State a couple of years ago with something like a 105 yard return.

You... SIR, have sullied the honor of West Texas.

I demand satisfaction!

You don't live in west Texas any longer, and I don't have any plans to send you back. Isn't that satisfying enough?

That was a fumble return.

[FirefightnRick]

And it was more than 105 yards, more like 109 1/2, and doesn't get credited for even 105 by the NCAA.

Why do I suspect if he had been wearing orange when he did that he would have been credited by the NCAA?
