The Mean Green have been to only two bowl games since the end of the 2004 season. They under-performed in their last few years in the Sun Belt, and despite getting the nod for C-USA expansion, haven’t exactly been lighting it up since then. Nationwide expectations are, we are sad to say, pretty low.
Expectations in #NewDenton, on the other hand, are something else. UNT is sporting a new coach, a vastly improved roster and staff that took a 1-11 team to a bowl game in their first year— the last time a G5 coach did this, his program was shut down.
