Will someone please tell the ESPN...

commentators we are not North Texas State!

Part of it is the Athletic Department's fault. Doesn't help having North Texas on the helmets. Yes. I said it.

What? I'm not crazy about it either, but why would you say "North Texas State" when you read "North Texas" on our helmets?

Ridiculous

I don't follow your logic. Put the SOW on there and that still doesn't take the collective head of all ESPN commentators out of their collective ass.

[rcade]

The same announcer said Troy State. I guess we should be glad he didn't call us North Texas Normal.

[JRock]

Because someone who actually works for UNT athletics has to eventually communcate with ESPN. It's not like someone from ESPN casually walks in and guesses where they are. Call me crazy.

[JRock]

And I never said putting the SOW on the helmet would fix this. I'm just sick of the same stupid mistake being repeated.

Commentators are given game notes, rosters and program information. I guarantee you it says University of North Texas.

[NewUNTFan8]

I didn't review the game notes for this game, but know for a fact that the game notes for the LSU game listed under DO NOT USE not to use Eagles, North Texas State and even UNT. Can't say AD is to blame here.

[SilverEagle]

Do we know who the commentators will be for the LaLa game? If so, surely they have an e-mail address with ESPN. If so, a pre-game e-mail flood about these issue might help.

U-N-T - I'm an advocate, know the arguments....

[MeanGreenHoops]

UNT would help clear that up. You can't get North Texas State out of UNT. I also blame the school for changing it's name to a name so similar. Super hard to make everyone learn that, unless you do something big with the new name. We haven't done anything big since the name change so no one was forced to learn it. Memphis went from Memphis State t University of Memphis, but their basketball team has been ranked so people had to learn it.

In '88 if we were blocked from being called Texas State then we should have either not changed the name or changed it to something else entirely. Northern Texas University - NTU

Denton College

Apogee State

Whatever, something so different you'd have to say, oh that was the school that used to be North Texas State.

Two things with people who call us North Texas State---1) Very old 2) Very stupid Take your choice.

Again and again and again and again....

You go by "North Texas" and you're 2/3rds of the way to North Texas State.

We became University of North Texas 25 years ago. Grow up, bite the bullet and put UNT on helmets. We are UNT.

I get tons of mail from UNT. We are UNT. Put it on the helmets. Put it on everything athletic. Git rid of "North Texas." Just get rid out it once and for all.

Grow up and admit that we are - have been for two and a half decades - UNT.
