I recall at one point finding a website a few years ago that had a list of UNT football seasons with the record for each year and coach. I can't seem to find this info anywhere anymore, does anyone know where it might be or have a personal list of their own they can post? I am always interested in looking at historical win-lose totals of programs. Thanks!

This thread got me curious. I know a guy who played for the 1957 Rice Owls. Always talking up the SWC championship and Cotton Bowl appearance and whatnot. So I went to look him up. Didn't find him on the data warehouse mentioned above, but did find him on the Rice Athletics website. Looking through that roster, I only count 58 players. Was that common for the time? Didn't the big schools like Oklahoma put something ridiculous like 180,000 players on the roster merely to keep other schools from recruiting them?

The UNT Fact Book also has a list. PDF is at http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/ntex/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2014-15/misc_non_event/2014FBallFactBook.pdf

The season by season results start on page 92.

This I had not seen and this is really awesome. I'm a sports statistics nerd so I'm going to be occupied looking at this the next few hours.

Yes.. I think that is correct... about UT and OU signing huge numbers... I don't think teams were all that large then ... one reason is schools had Freshman teams .....and second freshman were not even allowed to play on varsity teams ..... It also explains why some individual career stats then were not so large.... they only played three years ... not four.

Was that the era of one platoon football? They may have had a ton of players on scholarship, but I think you only letter if you play. Not much of a chance to letter with one platoon.

Regarding the career stats, having 4 years instead of 3 is a big part.

Longer regular seasons is a big part (9, 10, 11 games vs 12).

Bowl stats now count which they didn't in the past (how dumb is it that we know what the stats are for old games, but they still don't count. For example, Barry Sanders' 222 yards in the Holiday bowl don't count, but Ricky Williams' stats count)

Conference championship game stats count when there weren't championship games in the past.

Now if a team makes a conference championship 2 years in a row, a player can participate in 28 games in 2 years. That's almost more games to achieve stats than a 3 year career in the past.

I've always enjoyed this site http://www.jhowell.net/cf/scores/byName.htmif you're looking for quick season by season summary information.

      Need to finish them off tonight in Dallas. Don't give them any hope and a chance to go back to Minnesota. A week break will also be good for Luka's health.

      Totally agree on this. The only issue I see if that if they separate the have from the have nots you will see a lot of lower level P5 programs start losing a lot more games as they cannot rely on lower level wins against G5 schools. These new big P5 conferences are so big they don't have much room for non conference games as I see it. Some actually have mandated you have to play 9 plus conference games every year.

      In the new NIL era how should UNT athletics be focused?

      A small part of this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The decision-makers at the various networks lockup conferences with contracts and put the match-ups they deem to be the most desirable in the best time-slots to maximize eye-balls and low-and-behold, those get the highest ratings. Of course that confirms in their mind that they have this thing figured out and the cycle repeats. The 37K viewership for UNT/Temple was on ESPNU, but let's face it, none of the games on the U pulled in big numbers with most under 50K. We had 88K for the UNT/Cal game. The most viewed game of the season on ESPNU was the Memphis/Missouri game at 181K. Put the UNT/SMU game on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox at a desirable time-slot and I suspect we'd double or triple the 618K we got on a Friday at 9:00p on ESPN2. Same teams, same game, but different numbers IMHO simply due to network and timeslot.

      I’m just waiting to watch some ball, I hope it is against like institutions. Saturday afternoons hearing the roar of the Green. I’ll catch some SEC Big games but on my schedule and convenience. I’m not seeking it out over a weekend with the Mean Green Tribe in Denton Texas on a warm, cool, windy, rainy, Saturday afternoon. I may be unique but I followed this team to Monroe. Troy, southern miss, El Paso, Colorado Springs, Tempe, boca, Murpheesboro, bowling green and las cruces. Some of the best trips of my fandom. It’s going to be green forever no matter the landscape.
