1977 baby, #17 in the nation. Seared, seared I tell ya, in my memory. Who wouldn't remember that #17 ranking? The mere mention of 1977 brings it all back in an instant and I'm sure there are millions and millions, maybe even gazillions of college football fans out there like me. Just makes me want to chant, North Texas State, North Texas State, North Texas State.

I cant believe I saw a video of the great Hayden Fry in person. That was like...my life's dream. Such an awesome team in 1977...I mean who doesn't remember that year fondly nationally?

Hayden Fry. The mere mention of his name makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up on the back of my neck. A legend, a true legend is all that can be said about him. Bear Bryant couldn't hold his jock strap.

Bear Bryant wanted to hold his jock strap. Hayden Fry was so good when Bo Jackson prayed, he prayed to Hayden Fry.

Lamar might be rethinking their decision to bring football back. Their home attendance is awful.
