I did not see one on gameday at the Cotton Bowl. However, this guide produced by our sports information people should scratch your itch. You will have to invest in a ream of paper and some ink cartridges if you want a hard copy for posterity! :)

This is a really well done media guide.  Take the time to look through it. 

I found particularly interesting, the item on the bottom of page 4;

 

"All North Texas athletic teams are referred to as "North Texas" or "The Mean Green."  DO NOT use the terms "UNT", "North Texas State", or "Eagles" to describe a North Texas athletic team."

Brett Vito uses "UNT" all the time. He really should be using "NT".

So ridiculous when the school markets itself, and everyone in the DFW area calls us UNT, for the athletic media guide to say don't call us UNT. What a clown the previous AD was.

It's a sample of the direct conflict between the AD department and our one person show that runs the URCM department.

 Neither agreed on much, but I'm with the AD in trying to maintain a marketable uniqueness in "Mean Green".  He tried to steer away from the use of UNT because at one point we were a DallasLee away from having it forced onto the helmet.  If you want to appreciate RV for anything that is the one battle to do so.

My only gripe is this info needs to be on page 1, not page 4.

I get the reason for the distinction, but I find it silly. 

North Texas, NT, UNT, Mean Green are all the same to me and I use them interchangeably 

Historically speaking there was an ongoing debate between RV and Lee Jackson in regards to this.  RV wanted North Texas and Lee wanted UNT.  RV was also a very strong supporter of Mean Green as there were some in administration pushing for Eagles.  I am a huge fan of Mean Green as it is unique and in my mind a NO brainer that we use it as it is ours and we should probably trademark it if we haven't already. On the North Texas vs. UNT - I know that I was proud to be one of the first graduates to have University of North Texas on my degree.  I understand that some don't like the connotation of UNT as an acronym. But like TCU, SMU etc it is an easily identifiable short simple way to identify the college.  I do like North Texas from the standpoint that it represents a very powerful region in the state and country.  I tend to agree with @aztecskin I am ok with all three for now.  I think we have bigger fish to fry honestly.

Lee Jackson did prefer Mean Green over Eagles.

Actually, Jackson preferred long green to any of the other distinctions....it was his milk cow.

North Texas or NT. Everyone who has ever gone here has a connection to the name North Texas. Not everyone who has gone here has a connection to the name UNT. Best thing Rick did was brand us as the North Texas Mean Green.

You could use your same argument (pretty much) for Eagles over Mean Green.   Just sayin'.  Today the eagle reference is still all over the place, though heaven forbid we say the word "Eagles" outside of the fight song.  When I went to school at NTSU and UNT, we were definitely the Eagles, though still also referred to as the Mean Green.

Eagles is just so generic. Honestly, I have no problem with us being the Eagles other than it's just a really generic mascot.

      A very good NIL message from Coach Morris

      Might be one of the best statements he's made about NT Football.

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      The UT Athletic Department will just get treated as a corporation, saying funds received to it are voluntary, even if tax-deductible. And no politician will touch this, knowing how quickly they'd get hammered for hurting State U's football team and its funding.

      Transfer portal is killing P4 as well as G5

      You know, the playoff system to create a champion is better, but I still loved the way CFB was when conferences were regional, they had their champion tied into a specific bowl game, there weren't so many spare bowls featuring matchups that nobody cares about between 6-6 teams, and each season, the end of the year was talking about who had the better resume if this team loses or wins in their bowl game. I grew up loving the SWC and the Big Eight. Each year, the goal was to make it to Dallas or Miami and see where the chips fell. You were neighbors and friends with grads of those schools. I'm sure it was the same in the old version of the SEC and the ACC. It was just a fun time--and if things went great, the Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, or the Rose Bowl would be for a national title. But if not, you watched them all because the games mattered in the big scheme of it all and they were on all day and night on New Years Day, along with the Fiesta Bowl, and then, later, the Citrus Bowl for the ACC Champ. Its a bygone era, no doubt, but the games had great coaches all over the country and players we got to know over the years. Yes, there was plenty of cheating, and yes, the big boys controlled the game, but it was more fun. Whatever it is we have today, I feel sorry for people who think CFB today is more enjoyable to follow and support. They probably think we are olds that have Good Ol Day Syndrome and that is fine. I can't really refute any of that. But it was a sport I and many of my age (50s now) loved and followed intensely. Today, we are dropping out very quickly, as we see the farce the portal and NIL are making of this great sport. Very sad...
