Oops. Yes. Thanks for the correction.

It was known as D-II at the time, but yes, we were in the Southland Conference. https://exhibits.library.unt.edu/legends-mean-green/timeline

I agree. I don't have much interest in playing a bodybag game at home. Having said that, I long for the day that we become like Boise St. and we no longer have bodybag games because we can compete with anyone. For now, I'd like to see up play winnable P5 games at home, such as Indiana, Pitt, Syracuse, Purdue, Iowa St., Oregon St., Kansas, Illinois, Colorado, etc., etc.

A bad helmet from my days at UNT, but the one that followed was even worse in my opinion. And the cursive "North Texas" that came a few years later...on my gosh. I thought I really liked the SOW, but maybe it's just because it's way better than anything we've had for the past 25 years.

He probably should have gone pro out of HS. I doubt his showing at OU has helped his draft stock...and I feel strongly that his future is NOT in football.

That's hilarious.

Telling quote IMO.

Thanks for posting this.

I just in Flower Mound last week for a baseball tournament and almost stopped at that Rally House between games. Now I'm really upset that I didn't.

Agree. I just picked up the new Texas Football magazine and there is an article on Tom Herman. He (accurately) believes that coaching is only part of the winning formula. He strongly believes that the administration has a big part in a winning program. That may play a big role in the decades of losing at UNT.

Pretty spot on.

Terrible, but an upgrade over their previous helmets, I think. Maybe?

I can't decide if I'd like this on our helmets, but I'd love it as an accent piece somewhere on the uniform. Maybe use a small version on the back of the helmet??? I'd love to have a t-shirt with that logo. Or maybe on the back of a fitted cap. That logo should definitely be put to use.

If it's flying outside the football stadium I'd like to think I had enough sense to figure it out. In the link you posted it only took about four posts for someone to associate Denton, Mean Green, and Green Texas Flag. But hey, I know sometimes people aren't very smart, so there is always that possibility. I have to admit I'd be confused if I saw a Blue and White Texas flag flying in Boca Raton. LOL.

I'm pretty sure if I saw a red and black Texas flag flying in Lubbock I'd be able to figure out that it was a Texas Tech thing. Or maroon in College Station. Or burnt orange in Texas. Or purple in Ft. Worth. You get the idea. I don't have to know what it represents to know it's associated with UNT.

Side Show Joe answered the question before it was even asked. Impressive.

I disagree. Oregon and Baylor can't win enough to make most of their unis looks good. I do agree with UNTLifer that the shade of green is correct. I also like the SOW. I'm more a fan of the matte than the chrome, but prefer just a basic, classy design.

I'm not too familiar with the guys from the 60's, but Chancellor and Fitzgerald were pretty salty. Frankly, I'm shocked that Brelan isn't on the list. Maybe because a lot of his greatness was as a return guy, but in my opinion, he's one of the best players in UNT history regardless of position.

The days are long, but the years are past. Congrats and enjoy because it does fly. And I'll be the first to comment on the sweet UNT gear he's wearing. A good looking kid in his own right, but that just takes him up a few notches.

Agreed. During the Galbreath, Cobbs, Thomas, Dunbar stretch we had legitimate big-time talent at RB. I sure the Dickey "system" had something to do with it, but these guys were flat out good regardless. Dunbar maybe more so than the others based on the bad teams he played for during his time at UNT in addition to playing in the "Dodge-ball" offense. I'll go with Dunbar, Cobbs, Galbreath, Thomas*, and Hayes. *Freshman year Jamario is the best RB in UNT history. Period.

I heard him tell the story of hitchhiking as a teenager one hot summers day in West Texas. A pick-up stopped to pick he and his friend up and when they got in the cab of the truck, they couldn't figure out what the cold air was that was blowing from the dashboard. It was his first time to ride in a vehicle with air conditioning. Admittedly, my version of the story is not quite as good as his.

I like the UA uniforms. The helmets? Not so much. I'm also a fan of the throwback uniform that UNTLifer posted.

When and how did I become one of the old timers??? haha I'm going to go ahead and envision the worst: Something along the lines of Baylor and Oregon. Now, get off my lawn!!!

Maybe he's planning to pull a Dennis Parker????

If we go by UNT we can't do the (students section) "NORTH", (alumni section) "TEXAS" cheer. Take that as you choose.
