UNT Football: Lasting legacy


Harry

Recommended Posts

DALLAS North Texas players and coaches talked about the special opportunity in front of them months ago.

The schools program turns 100 this season. Players like senior linebacker Zach Orr and a host of other veterans on the Mean Greens roster wanted to make sure that milestone season would be remembered for a lot more than just that anniversary.

There is little doubt now that it turned out to be a breakout season.

The Mean Green (8-4) is headed to its first bowl game since 2004, has already won as many games as it has in any season since 2003 and posted a host of key wins. The Mean Green toppled Tulsa for the first time since 1969 and also beat instate rivals Rice and UTEP.

This is what we talked about at the beginning of the year, Orr said. Its the 100th year of North Texas football. We wanted to make it a special one and get to a bowl game.

Legacy? No. If consistency is built off of this year then this team will have a legacy of the team that turned it around. If there is another string of 3-9 to 5-7 seasons then it will just be the 2013 HOD team. I hope for the first scenario.

100 years of football = Legacy. They were talking about turning around a decade of crappiness.
