I went back to the record books to determine the last time North Texas was in a I-A (now FBS) conference with ANY other school in Texas... Some of the veterans here will know this but it really blew me away.... 1974 is the last time North Texas was in a I-A conference with ONE Texas school -- this would have been in the Missouri Valley and the one Texas school we had in that conference was West Texas A&M in Canyon... 38 Years AGO!!! Before many of you were born... That is a VERY long time to be without one team in your conference from your home state for goodness sakes!! Now we move up to having 3 I-A conference opponents in Texas cities a little bigger than Canyon...Houston, San Antonio and El Paso. Anyone who could complain about our move to C-USA evidently isn't taking our history into account.

The top 25 thread in the basketball forum got me to thinking, what is the signature win on the field in UNT's history? I cannot really speak to the generations before my time but I will say for me it was the 2003 New Orleans Bowl win against Cincinnati. Nationally televised, we weren't favored and it was our first bowl win in like 40 years or something? That is the biggest one that sticks out in my mind. There were some great times under Johnny but I can't recall a win of that magnitude under such a national spotlight. Perhaps if we get enough that are worthy we could come up with a top 5 or 10. Hopefully Mac and Benford will be able to surpass.
