Nice UNT photo.

One of the conferences was left out. Guess which one.

Great picture! Please tell me we'll keep the SOW logo on the helmet on a go forth basis.

I'm so glad to be out of the Sun Belt...even if we sucked there for the last 8 years. I don't care--that league was never gonna help us get any momentum.

It is sad and frustrating that they are left off things like this.... Come on now, they aren't freaking Voldemort. We can actually mention them.

I have really grown to like the green helmet with the black SOW. Wish we could stick with it at for at least the rest of the season

I'm hoping that next year, we'll see a white SOW with our regular home greens and away whites. And a white SOW will show up a whole lot better. It took me a minute or so at the Rice game to realize that we had anything other than solid green helmets.

I think the league is just such a punchline to college football fans and media that it makes it really easy to dismiss them. Even when the SBC has had a decent team or two, it still has been looked down upon. Heck, there have been years where the SBC was easily better league-wide than the MAC, the old WAC, or old CUSA and still didn't get any love from college football media or fans. It will always be the the dregs of FBS, which is unfair, but there's just not much that can be done about it. Even college football writers won't give a SBC championship team a vote to be ranked, while the other non-AQ conference champions usually get ranked or a lot of votes to be ranked. Its tough when you are consistently being trotted out as a bought win in several OOC games, especially at the beginning of the season. That perception never gets wiped away by the end of the season in the voters eyes.

Just finally get rid of "North Texas" on the helmet and I will be a really happy camper.
