As a part of the 100th year of football at UNT, Mean Green athletics is hosting a vote for the fans and a specially selected committee to create a UNT All-Century football team. A panel of UNT Hall of Fame members, administrators, media members and others put together a ballot for fans to choose past and current players to represent the All-Century team at their respective positions. “Part of the process was that, in 100 years of football, we needed to put the debate out there as to who was the best football player,” Athletic Director Rick Villarreal said. The fan vote will make up 50 percent of the vote and the other half will come from a separate final selection committee. “A lot of the people that we have selected [for the committee] that have been around North Texas athletics for 40 or 50 years have the best ability to compare those types of players with the current players,” said senior associate athletic director Eric Capper. “The way the committee was selected was we just basically tried to get as much of a cross section of several different eras and several different generations to provide some balance and the other side of it was we are going to let the fans decide.” Read more: http://wordpress1.cws.unt.edu/?p=2583

The Mean Green’s thrilling 30-23 win over the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns is a lot more important than an average Sun Belt Conference win. Of course, here at the University of North Texas, every conference win means a lot as head football coach Dan McCarney and company attempt to resurrect the football program from the ashes, but this one stands out as especially significant. It’s important not only because UNT won a conference game on national TV, but also because it did so in such a dramatic fashion. Sure, the Mean Green was only down 13-6 at the half, but halftime was not the turning point in the game. After halftime, ULL drove it down the field and scored a touchdown, making it 20-6. Following that, UNT made a drive of its own but was stopped short of the goal line on fourth down. That was the turning point. Instead of becoming deflated, the Mean Green defense bowed up, the offense started clicking and it turned the game on its head as UNT began a torrential comeback, providing the most exciting Mean Green win in recent history.
