I noticed at least one UNT commercial during the game. (Unfortunately I also saw 3+ UT commercials.)

Good commercial that ended with "UNT, official partners of the Dallas Cowboys."

The commercial I heard on the radio was pretty good but ended with "Founded in 1890" which was a little weird.

Why?

Just seems like a weird line to leave in people's mind. "UNT was founded in 1890? Well, that settle's it. I'm going there!"

This is cool!

TBH, I think the "founded in 1890" bit is genius and a long time coming.

It speaks to tradition, history, and legitimacy as an institution.

I agree. We're not one of those new 20th century upstarts like UH, TT, and SMU.

Well, if we want to shatter the "commuter-community college" image, then stating that we've been established as a institution of higher learning since 1890 is a good way to do it. We've been around longer than SMU, Rice, Texas Tech and Houston. Just to name a few.

addendum: We are the same age as OU. Both of us established in 1890.

UNT has done of poor job of marketing for awhile. I am glad steps are being made to showcase our appeal. Denton is an awesome place to go to school. It is about time we show it to the world. Or at least the state...
