Im really liking what Mitchel is bringing to the campus as a whole!

I really think he will play next year along side Patton, Odah, Overlander, and a freshman Forrest Robinson.

Most mock drafts have him going in the 2013 draft just outside of the lottery and no draft shows in in this years draft at all. To many great well known talents stayed. There are also only 8 freshmen total I believe who are going into the draft this year and all but one are lotto picks.

Yea, our own alumni who made a point to reserve a segment, on the most listened to (by far) afternoon drive radio show, for Mean Green basketball talk. And his well-known co-host Rads, who is not an alum, even encourages folks to get out to the Pit tonight at the end of the segment. Damn you Followeezy!

I don't know how many segments they did, but the last segment was half SMU talk on their history, and they referred to us as "little ole North Texas" more times than swans a swimming.

I guess some pub is better than none.

You people...

Many thousands of sports fans who have never heard of Tony Mitchell now know who he is, that he plays for North Texas, and were encouraged to come to Denton tonight to see him take on LSU.

Why the f would you complain about that?!?

Didn't most on here recently praise our President for his letter to the editor which was half about SMU/TCU?

Good stuff. I think it's awesome those two took a segment and talked about NT basketball. Look I think it would be hard for them to spend a whole full segment on our team because they probably don't know enough about us to take that much time. So they kinda talked about the health of local college basketball over the years. I thought it was great and I wouldn't be surprised if a segment like that get extra people to come out last night.

Love them for doing the segment.

It's just a comment on how we are view by the general public. You would never here "little ole SMU" or "little ole TCU."

It was just a point on how we are viewed by the public in general. Sad that we haven't done anything to change that.

The HardLine was constantly referring to TCU as little ole during their run to the Rose Bowl last year.

My complaint is about Super Pit concessions. The water is too wet and the ice cream is too cold.

Watched and taped (yes, I still do VHS with my combo DVD TV) the game and IMO the best collection of talent in North Texas basketball history which our Rivals 5 star "future star" ,ie, Tony Mitchell makes happen.

Most of us older alums thought Melvin Davis, Kenny Williams and Fred Mitchell back in the mid 70's were pretty salty but that was another era.

May this team take us to to places unseen and make some of the media lose all this "little ol' North Texas" talk and I assure you if this team does what most think it can, there will be DFW media jumping on the Mean Green and Johnny Jones bandwagon effect. Sorta' funny how winning at a higher level seems to create that effect in a major sports markets.

Don't forget Danny Kaspar, He was voted Mr. Mean Green in 77(I think). Current head coach at SFA, but still very proud of his Mean Green roots. I would have said NTSU roots but did not want 5,000 negatives.
