Each morning I drive into Dallas on I-35 from the south. The ball at Reunion Tower will have logos and colors of the Mavericks, the Cowboys and the Stars when they win.

On the day after the Heart of Dallas Bowl, the ball showed a heart and then "UNT." The Omni Hotel, with its large west side display, alternated between "UNT" and the green eagle with "Mean Green" written there.

It was an awesome sight. I wish I had my camera.

Editor's note: Dallas going Green for New Year's was an awesome sight. The photo above, courtesy of Michael Soto, shows the Omni's "UNT" display leading up to the game. See more photos from bowl week.
