I just got down explaining to some douche that goes to OU what our mascot is on Facebook.

I don't see what's so hard about us being the North Texas Mean Green. Yes, our mascot is the Eagles but our nickname is the Mean Green. Alabama is the Elephants but we know them as the Crimson tide.

Here it is in SAT style...

North Texas is to Mean Green as Alabama is to Crimson Tide.

Is there something I'm missing or are some people just idiots?

It really is simple and I say the more the merrier! Just be sure to get them right! I was interviewing a Longhorn the other day, noticing he spent time in Austin and graduated from Bevo U. I mentioned that I went to North Texas and he stated, 'Sreaming Eagles!" The courtesy interview was short:) JK (solid guy).

beat OU!

Idiots.... You need to take in consideration that he attends OU.....poor guy.

Reminds me of the old joke about the dumb Texas that moved to Oklahoma.... and improved the average IQ of both states.

Think about this. Had the Albino Squirrel Preservation Society been successful in their efforts, we might actually have TWO mascot's and a nickname.

We could have been:

The University of North Texas Mean Green Eagle Albino Squirrels.

Try explaining that one to your average Sooner. It would really bake their noodle.

I have always been confused why their school name is University of Oklahoma, yet their logo is printed backwards as OU.

      I agree a disappointing season, but the hitting is a much bigger problem than the pitching.

      I'm not sure they are going to offer us a choice.

      UNT students join growing number of pro-Palestinian demonstrations at US colleges

      So true, Americans LOVE football and there are no football fans in that crowd. It reflects horrifically on UNT but a percentage of these haters are surely from the TWU community.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      It’s absolutely ridiculous that some college athletes make more than professional athletes. Makes me think of the old Sports Illustrated bit: Signs of the Apocalypse. I stated this in another thread, but I strongly believe that the players are not the engine that drives the machine, it’s the universities. Ive got a theory that I believe to be true and hopefully I am able to explain it in a way that makes sense. Let’s say that next year, all the talent dropped a level. So Alabama, etc. had the talent usually associated with UNT. UNT had the talent usually associated with SFA. SFA had the talent usually associated with aTm Commerce, etc., etc. Most fans won’t care and most won’t notice the drop off in talent. All most fans care about is their team winning. If we had the talent level of SFA, but we won the American, no one would care that we’re not as talented. I’ll even go a step further and say that must fans would think we were better. Bottom line is that the universities are the ones making the money, not the players. No one is forcing them to play. If they don’t want to play for FREE tuition, don’t play. There’s a line of people wanting to take their place. I was working 25-30 hours a week in a warehouse while going to college, so forgive me if I don’t have sympathy for people who have the opportunity to do something that I wasn’t quite talented enough to do. **That being said, I don’t have a problem with legitimate NIL**
