As a UH student and fan, I have to say... HELL YEAH! Eat it, NORTH TEXAS! More than a UH student, I'm a former North Texas student.
Have to mention: Chase Clement and Jarett Dillard setting the all-time NCAA record for a qb-wr combo (41 and counting) plus, having my picture on ESPN high-fiving Jarett after the game was pretty sweet too.
Interesting to note that the first team Texas State played in that movie was Southwest Texas State (which later changed it's name to Texas State). UNT at one point wanted to change their name to Texas State but the name change to UNT from North Texas State was still fresh and a b**** to get done so they kind of said screw it.
haha, Mean Joe Greene went to U of North Texas..... so yes.. I would say you might be the only person that hadn't heard about the UNT EAGLES
Most of it was filmed at UNT/Dallas/FW which is why the movie got brought up in the first place. One of my old band teachers was an undergrad at UNT when they filmed it and was cast as an extra.
i went to the game yesterday. it was a perfect day for football. nice to see ncaa history made, and dillard catch his 50th td. and storm surge, how old are you? UNT has the second largest student body in texas. wiki says it's the third, but i've heard it's second.
According to last year's official numbers, UNT was 4th. 1)UT - 50K (5th nationally) 2)TAMU - 46.5K (7th nationally) 3)UH - 36.5K 4)UNT - 36K
