  1. Six years later, and we are still asking the same question.

    Only at North Texas. 

    Why North Texas?

    Think some were questioning his ability even longer than six years ago, found the below statement (wasn't sure how to quote it) from a thread on Podcast #8 that Harry, Evan and meanrob did 9 years ago.

    To all mean green fans, if you haven't listened, do yourself a favor and listen. An excellent point is made regarding the ability of this AD to make a proper hire, if everyone gets their wish and DD goes. Pretty much sums up the way I feel and I'm sure the way others feel.

  2. Sorry I missed that. But still, I assume they should qualify for regionals or something of the sort (I really don't know how this works in cross country).

    In Cross Country every school can go to Regionals regardless of how they fare in their respective conference meet, North Texas is in the South Central Region. Traditionally only the top two teams in this region get the automatic bid to Nationals versus say the Mountain Region that put 7 automatic qualifiers in last year. UNT has an excellent chance this year to grab the second spot from UT behind Arkansas. Also we currently sit in a good spot with our victory of UT at getting one of the at large bids if we finish third at regionals. Last year we finished third in the Region but didn't get an at large. Needless to say this is the best chance UNT has ever had to take a team to the National meet.

  3. The Washington Post

    "While Green is best remembered for his days with the Pittsburgh Steelers - and their two Super Bowl victories over Staubach's Cowboys - he went to college at North Texas State (now just North Texas) in Denton.

    That's also where he got his intimidating nickname.

    His sophomore year, the Eagles avenged a humiliating loss to Texas Western (now UTEP) with a punishing victory. Because the team wore green, fans chanted, "Go Mean Green! Go Mean Green!" "It was the entire defense," he explained Tuesday, "not Joe."

    While most speeches went for laughs, Abner Haynes brought a serious tone by talking about integrating college football in Texas in 1956, also with North Texas State. "
