A Little Help Please

A while back there was a thread on this board that listed a ton of accomplishments/firsts/excellence UNT has achieved. Does anyone know where I can find that thread?

And to keep this football related what are the chances we run a wildcat formation next season with Gio and Riley?

that would require adding formations or changing the offense, right? so probably not.

* (My favorite) First football team in modern history to go to a bowl game after posting a losing overall record. The Mean Green finished 5-6 overall in 2001 but won the Sun Belt with a 5-1 conference record, thus earning an automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl.

I thought that this exception originally was enacted for UT in the 70's... Didn't UT use that exception first? The one that says that if a team wins its conference championship, they can get a waiver from that NCAA to go to a bowl...

I know my brotha Gio has one NCAA record with Fitzgerald that can never be broken and Gio also holds two other NCAA records, one is the most passes EVER by a freshman in a game and the other is the most ever thrown (tied) TD passes in a half, regardless of classification.
