Thought y'all would enjoy this. A couple of my friends found it at Shop The Barn off the Denton Square and got it for me for my birthday. I plan on framing it and putting it up in my office.

That's really cool. Two really excellent NT players during my time. Unfortunately, Holland was killed (homicide?)in Dallas many years later. Mata was a very tough linebacker as I recall.

Love that the 'Mean Green Defense' is noted on this Schedule, but Mean Joe is nowhere to be found on it. Hence, it was not just Him, but the WHOLE Green Defense as a TEAM!

Also, just curious as to if this is the same Johnny Mata of Houston L.U.L.A.C. fame?

Yes. And not that I give a damn about him, but its examples like this that needs to be pointed out to rubes like Craig Miller who has spewed years of misinformation concerning our "Spare" program that fall's back on a single player from 40 years ago and named our team after him for our only identitiy and recognition.

Craig Miller couldn't park a bicycle and I kind of wish they would bring back the freshman games.

That team was also Missouri Valley Champions. They beat Louisville 30-28, Cincinnatti 34-14, Colorado State 21-10, and Tulsa 54-12. That made the Mean Green back-to-back MVC champions. Good Times!

Looks like somebody got bored once the team was 4-0-1. Maybe we needed to win by bigger margins...UNT90, was this your poster? :P

If I remember my history, Mean Joe Greene was a Freshman in 1966, and played on the freshman team. When they made the 1967 schedule poster months before the season started, he would have been a sophomore that hadn't played a down on the main squad yet.

IMO this evidence is much more significant than the news clipping about Sidney Sue Graham.

If Joe (who was only known as Big Joe in Denton) had not even played a down with the varsity team and they were already Mean Green, how can there be any confusion?

I think yours and my Randy Galloway news article is even better. I'll try and repost that when I can.

IMO, there is still wiggle room for interpretation with the newspaper articles. Even though it makes clear that we are not named after him, some people would still contend we were named because of Joe.

I think the poster refutes any and all of that. If Big Joe truly did not yet play a snap for our Varsity squad and they came into the season named "Mean Green" defense, there is nothing left to dispute.

Joe Greene played on the varsity team in 1966 and was named to the AP all-conference team.

By the way, that freshman team did not win a game that year.

      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.

      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.
