Att: SMU FB Lettermen of Hayden Fry Era !
Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2003 1:23 pmUNT is honoring Coach Hayden Fry at half time of the UNT/Baylor game, 7:05 PM, Saturday, September 6'th at ol' Fouts Field.
Of course all 3 of our schools have a special nostalgic place in our hearts for Hayden Fry. Fry attended Baylor and was a standout QB for the Bears plus SMU and Coach Fry played a most historic role with the integration of the SWC with Jerry Levias as you certainly all know the history and significance of that.
On your open date of September 6'th, please do accept this as an official invite from the Mean Green Nation to the entire SMU Nation to feel more than welcome to come out for this special event...BUT, an even more special invite specifically to all of you SMU Mustangs/SMU Lettermen who played for Coach Fry while on the Hilltop.
As you all would know from reading PonyFans.com, Fry is being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame this Fall. This is a time for all of us to honor a man that means different things to all of us--mostly all positive, of course.
If yall want a nice strategic place to put up an SMU Lettermen (or fan's) tent, please let us know by getting in touch with UNT athletics and they will make suggestions to you all as to where to put the tent. Call UNT Athletics at 1-800-UNT-2366 and tell them of your intentions if you (in deed) decide to do this.
I would think your present SMU football coaches would visit your tent if you choose to put one up since I am sure they will be at this game in full force to scout Baylor, your opponent the Saturday after we play them.
Some of you SMU Lettermen may even want to contact Coach Fry with your intetentions of showing up for this event cause you all know he'd love to stop by and see the players who played for him at the school who gave him his first major college football head coach assignment.
Come early/stay late!
