    The helmet logo is hotly debated. However, considering our "Mean Green" identity, perhaps no logo is needed. Why haven't we adopted a unique shade of green? An elegant, sparkly Kelly green would be a classy choice. 

    Sorry for the bye week talk. I'm bored.

    I want to know what happened to my beautiful early 90s forest green.  It seems that UNT went off the rails when Dodge brought in that Southlake teal.

    A former spirit group, the talons, tried to change the name to Eppy because Scrappy sounded too aggressive.

     

     

    I was in Talons in the early 90s.  We were told the student body decided in the late 70s to change the name because it was too "warlike."  The costume wasn't great in the 80s and 90s, but there was NO support or budget from the athletic department during that era.

    I was in that costume more than once, it was hot and smelly.  I imagine that the new one gets cleaned more often, now that there's money  🙂

    With our win last week, we avoided a winless season, have we ever had one? I checked sports reference, which confirms this, but it only goes back to 1953

    Just with a little research, Texas A&M, SMU, TCU, and Baylor look like our Texas brethren that have suffered this distinction.

     

     

    0-1 in 1913 against TCU, but after that we've never had a winless season.
