Throwing it back to the Dickey Days with these. Never thought we would wear the cursive script again, but I’m not mad at it.

Yeah I hated watching Cobbs, Jamario, back to back rushing champs, Quinn, Booger, Spencer, Awasom, Buckles, top 10 defense, hardly ever losing a conference game, that New Orleans Bowl win, blowing out

From 2001 - 2004 UNT was 4-20 in non-conference games. In those 24 games, UNT lost by an average score of 27.9 to 14.3. 

P4 record: 1-10 

G5 record: 2-10 

FCS record: 1-0

Needless to say, there are plenty of bad memories....

 

So the OOC weren’t bad memories for me. It gave me a chance to actually watch my team on TV.  I have fond memories of watching UNT vs LSU at the bowling alley with my fellow UNT peeps. 

 If the game wasn’t televised, I was following along Brett’s in game blogging.

This. I see people looking back at that time fondly, but the reality is the Sunbelt was extremely weak, anytime UNT stepped out of conference they got their butts kicked. We were a big fish in a small pond. I know people won't like it, but it's the truth.

I believe the team will be wearing generic black practice jerseys and pants to go with the helmets.

That was a bad day .  My son and I felt so let down at that game, but we never stopped showing up.

I probably have a little nostalgia having transferred to North Texas in 1998 so the Dickey years were in my wheelhouse...but I think objectively, we didn't get our "butts kicked" in OOC. We didn't win (and there was always an argument that DD was too conservative in those games) but our defense usually kept us in some of those games until the talent difference showed up. Especially early in Dickey's tenure. The other thing, we played some BIG programs in that time because we had NO money: OU, UT, Bama, A&M, LSU, Arkansas

Different eras, different standards....I get it.

Telling it like it is… these helmets were awful when we really used them.  
 

It was RVs idea…that people watching a TV game wouldn’t know what team we were unless we put the name on the helmet….irregardless that we already had the name on the jersey front!

I remember thinking we had such a great chance to beat Air Force in 2003 because of how solid our run D was. They then proceeded to rack up over 300 yards passing. The only reason we won the bowl game that season was because Cinci turned it over 6 times. Yeah good Sun Belt memories but tons of frustration when it came to every non conference game, except a terrible Baylor team that probably woke up their alumni to actually put some money towards the team.

The bodybag games were an  understandable outcome, and the dept needed money. The 2-10 G5 record shows we weren't even a good G5 school compared to our peers. I'm not trying to disparage what those teams did, they helped get us to where we are today, but the reality is we weren't a very good team outside of our weak conference.

Yeah I've missed thunderstruck for a long time, great hype song for football. 

I prefer that entrance and hype song to what they roll out now.

 

Factor in DJ ADHD to the ear orgy we had last week, and the presentation is fv<king brutal.

Here is my conspiracy theory hot take on these...

I remember back in the day that this was chosen as the decal bc it showed better on TV and that they feared the general audience wouldnt recognize the eagle logo or just UNT. So, they wanted North Texas.

So, I find it funny for our potential "big game" of the year, we are bringing it back for pretty much the same reason. 

I would much rather have done this for a conference game IMO. 

If we beat Wyoming, I want the nation seeing it in our regular duds... not just a throwback helmet. the tv audience will just think thats what we wear.

Ok, taking off my foil hat now

I think the credit should go to our defense for turning the Bearcats over six times, and not just say Cincy only lost because they turned it over.  We had a lot to do with that.

It's funny... I was in undergrad during the Big West daffy eagle/script crossover days, and while I loved loved loved the memories and the turnaround, I thought the script helmets were so awful... we didn't use that font anywhere else, it looked cheap, felt just thrown together with no thought or branding... I cheered for those helmets with everything I had, but I found the script borderline embarrassing. 

Now? As times and looks have changed, and more than a dash of nostalgia has been sprinkled in? I think they might be kinda awesome??? Looking forward to this!

No…you’re wrong!  The ONLY reason Mike Tyson could beat me in a fight is because I will let him win by becoming unconscious.

      IF we have to keep Morris 🤢

      I can’t get over how the offense just dies all of a sudden. As soon as they lose (or can’t establish) a rhythm they’re obsolete for an entire quarter and a half. (Ex: Memphis when the defense actually held and made them go 3 and out multiple times before the flood gates opene; Army when they couldn’t do anything the whole game; ECU and the abysmal 3rd quarter; heck even against Tulane they were only up by like 3 before the end of the half and got super lucky with multiple short field positions due to mistakes). The statistics for the offense feels hollow. Super explosive but no capability to sustain a slow, clock bleeding drive. Which means short time of possession and longer time for the defense to be out there. I guess live by the air raid, die by the air raid. (And they’ve been consistently dying)

      ****OFFICIAL ECU vs UNT IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      S.O.S. We made too many mistakes…we didn’t play complimentary football…had our chances…I could’ve called a better play to help us out…defense gave up too much…blah blah blah. It’s the same excuses he puts out there the past 5-6 weeks. Seems to me that all goes back to coaching. All of this is a product he created with his environment and culture. This is what you get when you have a coach that’s inexperienced and doesn’t know how to get out of funks. No proper adjustments and make the same mistakes over and over and over again.

      What’s up with DT Sheffield?

      Didn't he come in a play or two after the DPI call on the 3rd down pass to Conwright? I agree with you though that it was bizarre. I was searching for him on the sidelines and wondering why he wasn't in the game. It's a complete head-scratcher even after sleeping on it.

      Honest tactical question here…

      100% yes. This is the Achilles’ heel of the air raid system. To win consistently with the air raid, a deep defensive bench is needed to keep fresh legs on the field. Otherwise while the offense is high flying, the defense is absolutely gassed come the 3rd and 4th quarters. No disrespect to Mike Leach but I’m over the air raid system. I want to see us run the ball, dominate the line of scrimmage, control the clock, and allow our defense time to rest so they can in turn make stops. This is complimentary football.
