Why is UT Game Different From All Other Texas Games for UNT?

In the Jewish holiday of Passover, a family gathers around a table to recite the Passover Seder, or meal. One of the key components of this Passover Seder is the Four Questions, asked by the youngest member of the family, and which answer the question of "Why Is This (Passover) Night Different From All Other Nights?"

The Mean Green have played Texas nine times. A few of those games were close (pre-1980), but some of them weren't even remotely competitive. All nine games have been in Austin. Texas was favored in all of the games. Most of the time Texas was ranked in all those games.

4. In all other games, the Mean Green didn't wear the Flying Eagle on their helmets. This time they are.

In what is akin to the religious right clamoring for a Rick Perry presidency, the Mean Green faithful have been begging the athletic department for years to feature the "new" UNT logo on the sides of the helmets, instead of the "North Texas" lettering. Last year, they experimented, with the Mean Green winning every game where the "SOW" ('son of worm' as the faithful call it) was on the helmets. Will the lucky trend continue?

In all the close games he listed (except he left out the 78 game which was much closer than the score) there was an Eagle on the helmet. 76 & 78 the stylized Eagle (aka the flying worm) 88 & 92 the Eagle-head-through-the-NT-circle logo (the Corkey Nelson era logo). Hmm or was the 92 helmet the one with the Eagle head generic clip art?

That helmet came in 1994 with Matt Simon...
