Tennessee football (that one is easy)

North Texas or any of the mid-major public Texas schools

North Carolina football 04-wine

North Texas is certainly on the rise. The Mean Green finished last season 9-5, and set a new attendance record. QB Mason Fine who through for over 4,000 yards and more then 30 TDs is returning. Plus, he gets all three of his top receivers back too. If the terrible defense shows any improvement North Texas could be in for a very special season, and their third straight bowl.

North Texas basketball has also done a 180. After multiple seasons under Benford, in which the team never recorded a winning season, the Mean Green have a good coach and a respectable team. Currently UNT is tied for 3th in an improving C-USA conference, and sits 13-10 overall. Not a great record but, certainly a huge improvement over our previous 5 seasons.

North Texas is becoming one of the better G5 athletic programs in Texas. With around 40,000 students, 300,000 alumni, and located in the very large Dallas/Fort Worth media market, UNT is well positioned to emerge as a G5 power.
