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.

      plus let's not forget a Haggerty prayer from 30' going in. we're likely not into the foul game in the last minute or so without that bucket

      Great game, Memphis is a good team and this one came down to the end. However I am still baffled by UNT's inability to inbound the ball, this is a trend that has been going on for a few seasons now. There were several times today that they would inbound the ball directly into a corner trap, many of those instances resulted into a turn over.

      Mean Green Fall At No. 21 Memphis, 68-64

      The Mean Green (10-4, 1-1) got a career performance from senior big man Moulaye Sissoko who poured in a career-high 17 points on eight shots and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds in the four-point defeat. North Texas’ Brenen Lorient scored a team-high 18 points and was one of four different Mean Green players to score in double figures. Senior Jasper Floyd had 11 points to go along with a season-high six assists. UNT outrebounded the nationally ranked Tigers (12-3, 2-0) 30-21and forced them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists. “If you have told me we would force them into 15 turnovers and just seven assists and outrebound them by nine I would have really liked our chances,” said head coach Ross Hodge. “But it was that stretch in the second half where we didn’t handle their press well and we ended with 16 turnovers. We’ll regroup together and get better from this together.” The Mean Green have a quick turnaround as they host Rice on Wednesday at Super Pit at 8 p.m. CT. UNT is 8-0 at home this season. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and ESPNU. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
