One of the coolest things about yesterday

[TheFranchise]

Following the game yesterday, we picked up our kids from the babysitter and then had to do some shopping. While out and about in the Alliance area, we ran into several people with UNT apparel on, and since we still had ours on, it led to some shouts of "Go Mean Green" and even a couple of brief discussions about the game. 

 

We are being recognized and growing fandom now. Even people not wearing Mean Green garb mentioned they saw the game or saw highlights and were impressed. For at least a few hours last night I felt like a fan of a big time school. There's no reason we shouldn't move closer that direction. I'm already excited about next season and can't wait to see what happens next!

had the same thing happen to us.  We went to Hard Eight BBQ in The Colony after the game.  We were still in our Mean Green gear, and people kept asking about the game.  The staff kept telling us they were watching the game on TV.....it was cool to have people recognize our team colors and logo....

Same thing in Irving...went to doctor's appointment Wednesday, wearing my Mean Green t-shirt.  I was stopped by a gentleman who asked me if I had gone to the game.  He had  and we discussed how close we came to winning.  I found out he has been a season ticket holder ever since his son was a cheerleader at UNT.  I have worn UNT gear for over 40 years and just recently noticed that more people are making comments about UNT, taking more pride in being a graduate, and are publically saying "Go Mean Green".  It gives me hope that we are slowly getting "on the radar" with more folks.  Maybe I will still see a full Apogee Stadium in my lifetime!

GO MEAN GREEN!

Headed to New Mexico following the game. Stopped in Amarillo for the night. The next morning in the elevator I was wearing my UNT hoodie and an older man asked, "Y'all had a bowl game right?"

It will be interesting to see if one of my sergeants who said we'd get destroyed changes his tune when I see him Sunday morning.
