Vote For The North Texas All-Century Football Team
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the North Texas football program, and as part of the celebration, we're asking fans to help select the North Texas All-Century Football Team.
A 25-person selection panel made up of North Texas Athletics Hall of Fame members, football lettermen, sports-information personnel, and members of the media - including Joe Greene, Jordan Case, George Dunham, Bill Mercer, Dave Barnett, Ken Bahnsen, Bill Carrico, Toby Gowin, C. Dan Smith, Patrick Cobbs and Byron Gross - chose the more than 120 players that made the ballot.
Fan voting begins February 6 and ends March 13.
The final All-Century roster will be determined by the fan vote (which will count 50 percent toward the final decision) and by a final selection committee which includes members of the panel who selected the candidates. The All-Century Team will be announced on April 13 at the Green-White Spring Football Game at Apogee Stadium. The All-Century Team will be depicted on a specially-designed poster, which will be given to 2013 season ticket buyers. The poster will also be available for purchase.
How To Vote
Fans can vote online (click here for the online ballot) or by paper ballot.
