Denton 25-35 years ago was still distinct from the Metroplex. Locals should have appreciated that more while they had it. I know I did in the years I was attending UNT from 1988-1991.

There is also West Texas A$M in Canyon. It used to be West Texas State of course. Back when we were NTSU I always thought we needed to distance ourselves from East Texas State and West Texas State if we wanted to grow. I would have preferred Texas State but understand the common thread of "North Texas" in our name history, similar to this situation with East Texas. Now if they ever change to the University of East Texas I won't be happy.

It's wonderful being 4-1, but there's a reason we are the second lowest ranked 1-loss team at #73 (Eastern Michigan also at 4-1 is #82). 3 of our 4 wins (not really counting the SFA win which ironically may be one of the better wins of the 4) are against teams with a combined record of 5-12 who have collectively been outscored 456-196. Of course, some of those points against are ours, so there's that. No win on the road is easy, but next up is #109 FAU at 2-3. Hopefully we take care of business in Boca, but we will really find out about the mettle of this team over the following three games with Memphis, Tulane and Army. Let's do this.
