school colors

[drex]

Did anyone besides me find it funny that the inside front cover of the 'North Texan' was dedicated to proclaiming that green and white were the true school colors? They even digged Helwig and co. with the denouncing of orange and blue. Here's a thought...if we are having UNT crammed down down our collective throats, will the 'North Texan' be called the "UNTn' in the future?

"After a heated campus debate in 1903, the students of North Texas chose green and white to represent our school. According to a 1932 Campus Chat article, green proponents believed that Mother Nature is kind to those who wear her colors. They were convinced that North Texas would continue to blossom for years to come. A century later, it appears they got it right."

I never knew about the Mother Nature reference to our colors. Also note the use of "North Texas" in the above, no North Texas Normal or other variation...just North Texas = NT !

There's a pretty funny pic of Emmitt, Rudy, and Sean in their green pimp outfits in New Orleans in the North Texan. Fun to see familiar fans' faces!
