Thank you Mason

Harry · December 1, 2019

You brought this fanbase so much fun and excitement in the time you were here and we are all so very honored to have witnessed it. You are - without a doubt - one of the greatest players in the history of the program and should be a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Thank you for representing the University of North Texas in a such a first class way both on and off the field. I wish you and your family nothing but the best. i know that no matter what you do you will be a great success.

Go Mean Green!

Absolutely. There is no need to wish him luck for he will not need it. Stand up guys like MF are like cats, they fall on their feet no matter the circumstances.

All my best to Mason and the rest of the seniors. Thank you guys, and hope to see y'all in the stands next season.

Mason stuck around giving kids high fives and taking pictures with other fans well after the other players had walked off the field. Then walked over to the student side and gave high five to the 6 or 7 students still on the front row. This guy wasn't just a great player, but he's a great guy. I cant think of another player I've been prouder to have played here. I've honestly been sad all day that he'd be leaving. And the way this thing petered out made me feel even worse for him.

Does 6 get retired?

6 absolutely gets retired. It’s dependent on his university engagement over the next few years but i have no doubt that will be excellent. Mason is everything I wanted in a sports hero as a kid: underdog, baller, confidence, humility, accountability, leadership, real, coachable, the list goes on. I came here in 05 and Lance is the only talent I’ve seen like him, Trice was the only leader who I’ve seen on his level...but no one has been the total package. He’s our Craig Biggio.

On the radio post game show, they said that they will be having a final Littrell Coaches' Show (for the season) at Rudy's on Tuesday night and that MASON FINE will be the primary guest. We need to pack Rudy's go the gills. That would be a much more respectful way to send him off than letting tonight's game be his last memory as UNT's QB.

I just watched the post game presser...he’s a great human being.

NorthTexasSportsNetwork · December 1, 2019

Mason is the best role model of a student athlete. He fights his ass off, and never gives up. He has made us proud to be North Texas, and he will forever be one of the best players to come through UNT.

Watching him grow from a small kid to a beast has been fun to watch. Even though we didn't accomplish the ultimate mission, we had a player to remember!

I hope we see him on Sunday's!

Mason will be busy prepping for games on Sundays... biding his time for his opportunity, just like he did here for a couple games.

He’s gonna make it y’all. I don’t know how after watching him here for 4 years, anyone could disagree.

Just please don’t be the Giants, Redskins, or Eagles!!

Green P1 · December 1, 2019

Here’s to hoping the Cowboys franchise Dak and draft Mason in the 5th round.

Better knock on wood with that last statement

Obviously GreenP1 has been watching football in the greater DFW area for the past few years.

Missed y'all tonight. Hope all is well.

It's going to be hard to measure the impact Mason has made on UNT football. I'll use my own situation as an example. My kid had ZERO interest in football but he was nice enough to tag along with ol' dad to the games in Denton. We were there for "The Drive" in 2017 and he instantly became fan of the game and a BIG fan of Mason. Over the past couple of years, he tried to find opportunities to meet him. The pictures below chronicle some of those efforts.

#1 - Giving him a high-five after the Rice game in 2017

#2 - Getting SL to autograph "The Drive" poster with Greatest Game Ever! during 2018's Coaches Caravan in Plano

#3 - More high-fives before Homecoming 2018

#4, #5 & #6 - Getting his jersey signed after the FAU game in 2018 and (finally) getting a picture with him

#7 - Another picture after the UTSA game in 2018

#8 - Getting his helmet signed UTSA this season.

So, if my kid is an example, it's conceivable that Mason has inspired a whole generation of kids to believe in the Mean Green. And, maybe a lot of them will want to play in Denton. It's been so much fun watching Mason play, and I'll enjoy buying my kid a NFL jersey with his number on it when the time comes.

I came from SA just to see him play his last game and I have no regrets.
