While I have a feeling I'm probably the only Jew on this board, I would like to wish Mean Green Nation a Happy Hanukkah.

I feel it very apt that on this first night of the Festival of Lights, the man upstairs (or some rich donors, whichever your beliefs) granted us a man whose offense is designed to "light" up the scoreboard in Coach Littrell.

Looking forward to the day where we in Mean Green Nation can state the same message that is on a dreidel (the spinning top compulsive Jewish gamblers bet with instead of the sports books) which is 4 letters that are an abbreviation of the phrase that in English, means "A Great Miracle Happened There" (In Denton, Texas, America)

Go Mean Green.

My dear Eaglette, who was Jewish, passed away one year ago today. It felt funny lighting a yahrzeit candle and the first candle of Hanukkah on the same night. I am a Christian but she taught me a lot about the Jewish faith and always said that "Jesus was a nice Jewish boy". She was a UNT alum, Mean Green to the core, and attended games with me so she is very happy with the new coach. Knowing her, she was laughing hysterically because she knew all about Littrell long before we did.

Happy Hanukkah back at you, and to all Jewish members of the Mean Green Nation.

Happy Hanukkah!

Your screen name has always made me laugh. One of the top 5 on this site, IMO.

Please, tell me you have a Mean Green Yamaka?

No you're not.  Happy Chanukah (or Hanukkah, if you prefer)!

I wish- I have a Mavs one. My younger brothers (one graduated from UT and the other goes to A&M) both have yarmulkes of their respective schools- I wish there was a way I could have one for UNT, or at least have a shirt with "North Texas" spelled phoenetically in Hebrew.

@meanJewGreen, here's your present for the second night:  The characters from South Park singing "Dreidel":

caution: NSFW due to Cartman (of course!)

What? No Adam Sandler and the Hanukkah song? Well then, here's my Hanukkah present to this very interesting (and fun) thread.

 

 

 

 

Also, looking forward to someone having Kosher tailgating this next fall.

+1,000 !  I forgot about Kinky. Permit me a TRUE story. Years ago I lived in Garland and, unfortunately, had a telephone number that was one digit off from the Holiday Inn. It made for the occasional strange call. One Saturday afternoon I got a call; the caller said "Is Kinky Friedman there?". Without missing a lick, I responded "Naw, him and The Jewboys went out for a beer." Pause on the other end, then "OK, thanks." and a hangup.

Now back to Hanukkah, or Chanukah.

      Let’s start with Odom as our interim DC. I heard he was also interim DC for USC not long ago? Anyone know what’s his story?

      What's the appeal of Carthel? Honest question. I don't follow FCS closely, but it seems like every time a position opens up at UNT people on the board want Carthel to fill it. I see he won the NCAA Division II championship in 2017 and has an overall record of 89–48 which are both impressive. However, his run at SFA from a W/L perspective looks similar to Seth's at UNT in that he built up the program in a few years, but he seems to be plateauing over the past few years. I'd love to hear more about what the advocates see in him and why he'd be a good fit for UNT specifically.

      Odus Mitchell - What Exactly are Too High Standards at UNT?

      I really want people to read this: https://meangreensports.com/honors/north-texas-athletics-hall-of-fame/odus-mitchell/3 This man was and still is very much under appreciated here. I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing. There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell. We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here. Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board. Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want. And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma. The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton. Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell. How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo. I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either. But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!
