Legends of the Mean Green: A Century of UNT Football Exhibit

In 1906 UNT’s first football team took to the field, and over the next century the team obtained some incredible successes such as its first bowl game win on December 21, 1946 against the College of the Pacific in the Optimist Bowl. UNT would move on to other bowl games: the Salad Bowl (precursor to the Fiesta Bowl), the Sun Bowl, and the New Orleans Bowl.  Legendary players such as Ray Renfro, Abner Haynes, Richard Gill, and Joe Greene drove UNT to even greater accomplishments.

Please join us in the Willis Library Forum to celebrate this fascinating look at UNT Football history, on display this semester from 8/25 to 12/16/2011. The Libraries have also created an online digital collection for those who wish to see more, UNT Legends: a Century of Mean Green Football.
