A brief history of North Texas bowl games

This month, the Mean Green will play in just their 9th bowl of all time, and first in back-to-back seasons since 2003-04.

In two weeks, North Texas will meet Troy in the New Orleans Bowl, UNT’s 5th appearance in this bowl. As many modern North Texas fans may not recall their brief but glorious bowl history (an incoming UNT freshman in 2017 was five years old the last time the Green won a conference title), it’s time to recap our past.
