Born and Bred: Mason Fine

Who's been cutting up onions in here??

Great segment to watch. Glad we have Mason Fine as our QB. He is a great football player and an even better man. He is a great representative of UNT.

Great episode. Clear to see why he’s so successful. We’re lucky to have the dude leading us out of the FBS cellar and towards achieving the potential we all know exists at UNT.

Good work MGP!

Wow.  Best one yet, by far... 

Mason Fine is the North Texas story at its most inspirational.  He is verbalizing that dream that so many UNT students have to make something big happen with their lives, to overcome defeats in life and to make the most out of second chances.  

I felt something deep in my gut watching this that makes me so proud of my fellow alums that did what they needed to do, put in the work to be something or do something big.  

I talk to these kinds of people all the time when I'm at alumni functions, or at games, people that amaze me with their courage, fortitude and desire.  They chose UNT and never looked back, never apologized, never complained.  They put in the hard work and achieved impressive results in too many fields and endeavors  to even count.

This story tops them all in my book, so proud!

I gotta admit - this one really choked me up.  Damn I love this kid.  What an awesome family and story.

Don't know, but tell that a-hole to quit it!

Emotionally POWERFUL! Damn! My support for Mason Fine just keeps getting stronger. Wow, what a presentation. And no, that's not Visine running down my cheeks.

This actually got me laughing. 

Good segment. His parents have to be 2 of the proudest people in Apogee every Saturday. 

Wow, had my wife watch it with me we both cried.  What a story!

I'm part Irish and Scottish so yes, the "onions were being cut" near my desktop especially toward the end of that video with Fine's mom 
& dad on their living room sofa.

What a story Mason Fine is and all who raised & knew him growing up.  Already posted that video on my Facebook page--I hope others will do the same. 

What a story this Mean Green football team is becoming, too.   It's takes a team to do it all. 

GMG!

Great story.  I know he'll soak it all up Saturday.

My goodness this success story keeps getting better and better! Couldn’t be happening to a better young man! 

Cant wait to see the sea of green rooting for him in arkansas this weekend.  should have a lot of support from oklahoma in fayetteville this weekend

Wow, that was a great one.  We are proud at UNT to have him here.  He is a leader and example for others to follow.  His parents did a great job rasing him.   Glad his parents took the time to help reach towards his goals.  Next goal for him is a big win at Pigville.  I wonder if we will ever see another Mason Fine at UNT.

Please pardon me for using my son’s log on, but I got tossed a couple of years ago during the furor that arose when Littrell burned Mason’s redshirt and started him ahead of that Bama guy. 

I said then that UNT will be better not just because Mason is a great QB, but because of the human being he is. I’m thrilled for him and your university that things are working out. People will still be talking about Mason Fine and UNT 25 years from now. All because of the person he is.

What a great story, just adds more to the legend that is Mason Fine!

This kid is a winner in every way possible!

If you haven’t seen it before, give this video a watch as well.  It includes footage of some of what Mason talks about in Born and Bred.  It has a happy ending with a signing with North Texas. 

 

I think Mason's lost teammate and friend is smiling down on him today. Great job Mason and crew on well deserved win.  In the words of Hans Solo "dont get cocky"

Underrated.

I saw Mason's dad and HS coach on the concourse during halftime. I just thanked them profusely.

He was sitting in E120 a few rows behind me on probably the 15th row.  I noticed him when a media person came over to ask him something. I think he sent her away because he was laser focused on ever play.  He was a good sport, most of us were probably being loud and annoying. 😁
