Looking Ahead: Georgia vs. North Texas, Never

Although the post from the Bulldog fan has our bowl record at 1 -5 since 1948, it should be pointed out that we won the Optimist Bowl in 1946 against Pacific (14-13) which was coached by the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg. One more reason, it seems to me, that Odus Mitchell should probably be considered the best all around football coach in UNT history.<br />A few other Odus Mithell accomplishments include: A two decade head coaching career at UNT, the first coach in Texas (and perhaps in the south} to recruit Black players to a D! program. Winner of the Missouri Valley and a Sun Bowl bid in 1959 and the recruitment of Abner Haynes and Joe Greene, Indeed, the 1968 UNT football team was one of the best in the country(ask Arkansas), and they were mostly Odus Mitchell's recruits.
