The voting for the All-Century team has closed. More than 11,000 votes were cast, and we will now begin the final count. The results will be announced at the spring game.

Some folks are still casting ballots online, but any votes cast after the 13th will not be counted. The votes have a time and date stamp, so any further voting will not affect the final outcome. Just thought you'd like to know.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

Thanks, Smitty. This has been a lot of fun, and I appreciate that the fans have gotten at least a say in the All Century Team winners. Looking forward to seeing the results at the spring game on April 13th.

Thanks to everyone who worked to make this vote happen.

You know, it occurred to me that since college football teams almost always have a band to help cheer them on and provide musical "encouragement", during the game, why not celebrate a century of North Texas marching band. Now, the problem with that is, early on, did they even show up to games and when did they start showing up at games to provide the aforementioned "musical encouragement". Also, when did they actually start marching at games? Here is the earliest photo of a North Texas band that I can find...from the 1911-12 school year.

It looked like this the first year a football team was fielded (1913)

By 1917 (the 1916 football season), it's finally looking like it might be a marching band.....

By 1920, their numbers had dropped quite a bit.

The first band with uni's? 1928.

So, how/when would we celebrate the 100th year of the North Texas Band?

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!

      That would be a little unorthodox when the current HC is still in his 30s.

      Well, San Jose wilted. Losing 35-21, 2:00 min remain.
