Happy Hanukkah Mean Green Nation

[meanJewGreen]

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, y'all.

This was the most Mean Green-ish menorah image I could find.  Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends.

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.

This is always my contribution to my friends of The Tribe this time of year.

Ok, I can't believe we left out Kinky Friedman on this thread...

 

[EagleMBA]

+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.
