What is the Coolest Mean Green Item You Own ?

[greenjoe]

Mine is my 1977 MGB. It's restored and I drive it in parades and short trips.  It's even got an original Mean Green Club "Stylized Eagle" on the vent window.

you set the bar high, I am already out. The sticker is unused.

Well.. not as cool as a MGB, but my game worn lacrosse bucket and jerseys. Our green jerseys looked just like the current MBB team green kit. Can't decide if I want to frame it or keep it in the open to wear occasionally.

In 1974, Hayden Fry commissioned a set of beer mugs for his staff and was kind enough to include one for me. It shows the flying worm, my last name, and the words "Super Hack", his theme for that year. All done in that infamous lime green we used at that time.

My North Texas State University degree.  It earned a lot of "green".

Maybe you should wear when you mow your lawn the neighbors will be green with envy.

I try to use it while playing old man league, but that's an even better idea.

I always wanted to play Lacrosse but growing up in El Paso the sport was not even known.  I love to watch the games on TV.

Game jersey from the Heart of Dallas Bowl.   These new uniforms aren't very comfortable for larger guys like my but my kids where it every year to school for college days.

Probably my old NTSU tray from the cafeteria I use for tailgating. I kick myself for only getting one of them from the surplus when I had the chance.

The fastest thing in the world is a cafeteria tray on an icy hill.

Yep. We borrowed a couple from the old Pizza Inn on Eagle Drive for sliding at what is now the Apogee site. The lid off an old Maytag washer was also extremely fast. Baked porcelain on ice.

I bought a silver tray from dollar tree and slid down the hills of the golf course. I smacked the crap out of a tree and was out of commission for the rest of the day. Best dollar I have ever spent!

My first car was a green 1976 MGB.  I sure wish I still had it.  It had spoke wheels.  It did not have the luggage rack on the trunk.

Not necessarily the coolest but both of these are fun and before my era.

Here's mine...my 11 y/o son made this himself as a Christmas gift last year

A lot of frat bros would pay a pretty penny for that golf shirt. Very cool!

Xmas gift from my Father in Law this year (UT donor)

A couple stand out and I can't do just one:

A game ball from a game we won signed by the captains after I recovered a fumble that led to us winning the game. I got player of the week that week and later special teams player of the year. Both surprised me. (Especially the plaque at the banquet.) We won our conference too. My Dad got to see the game ball before he died a few weeks later. Really cool.

That season led to another cool item which was a conference champion ring.

I really like a flag I had framed.

But I really love a little t-shirt both my minions wore that almost ended up at Goodwill but ended up framed too. (My wife played soccer at UNT so I get away with pretty much anything UNT related.)

 

 

Lastly, the Mrs. and I both have North Texas diplomas. We were both on scholarship, Letterman every year we played, we still have our letter jackets, and technically got paid to go to college at NT. Love my Mean Green!
