North Texas State, really? Still?

[MeanGreenGlory]

Who's North Texas State?

[TheRiojas_AD]

Yes, it's disgusting. they STILL call us that! I ALWAYS let people know when I see a mistake! Bomb the writer with calls or emails!!

[Mean Green Scrappy]

Killing me with this state crap. 20+ years we've been UNT...

[LakeTravis]

Can someone please mail the writer & editor a bowl of poop so they can eat it and die.

DONE!

Except, I sent him a very nice email correcting him and assuring him that he is otherwise doing a wonderful job.

[TheRiojas_AD]

I left him a voicemail!

Who's North Texas State?

A new rival?

[UNTflyer]

The writer replies to my email and apologized. Said they'll get it right next time.

I am mobile.

Looks like you guys convinced them to correct it because it shows "University of North Texas" now.

[RossDrapalski]

My 2011 Oil and Gas Taxation book listed the author from North Texas State . . . Maybe I should have been as proactive as y'all!

[meaniegreenie]

Maybe the guy who thinks that it's SO IMPORTANT to have "NORTH TEXAS" on the side of our helmets so everyone knows who we are should contact these people and inform them who we are.

My point is that if we continue presenting an icon (helmets) that is so closely similar to NORTH TEXAS STATE then we are going to continue to have this problem. When we are referred to as NORTH TEXAS, it's really easy for legacy minds to fall into the NORTH TEXAS STATE phrase because it flows so naturally. We should be presenting ourselves as UNT. Hopefully we can get to a level of national exposure such that people will recognize us by UNT (similar to USC). With that said, I was in school during the name change and I have a hard time not referring to us as North Texas. I rarely use UNT, so I'm just as guilty.

And no, RV, I don't want to change the helmets to say UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS. Put the d*** logo on them (either Mean Green or SOW) and refer to us as UNT everywhere.

You would think that after this time everyone would be on the new name.

[The Fake Lonnie Finch]

Again, for the millionth time, this misperception is something that would be easily cured by embracing "UNT." When you say, "North Texas" you are 2/3rds of the way to "North Texas State."

SMU

TCU

UCF

UAB

USC

UCLA

etc.

etc.

etc.

It's not that big a deal. I'll never understand why we just don't embrace it and end the North Texas State references for good.

[NorthTexan95]

Thnk we can get in the same division as NTSC???

UNT! UNT! I hear ya. i get a weird feeling everytime I see that PCmatic.com commercial, when the girl is wearing the "STATE" sweater. However, I cant see the radio station effectively moving away from KNTU, that one can't work.

Well, considering we changed it during the Reagan Administration, we should be touchy.
