Mean Green Fandom

Just wanted to know when everyone became a fan. I have a feeling that most became fans during winning years but it would be cool to see how it all shakes out.

My freshman year.

I attended NT since 2000, but had always grown up a Longhorn fan.  My allegiance changed that day, and I’ve been Mean Green ever since.

I moved to Denton around that time and vaguely remember the Sun Belt years. I was in high school at the time. I would say I became an actual fan when I actually attended North Texas in 2017. I just always felt rooting for a school you didn’t go to was….weird 😅

2007 when I stepped on campus for the first time. I proceeded to go to UNT between 07-10 during the dodge run!

I hate to admit it, but when I attended (early to mid 90’s), I never once attended a game. 
Then I started a family and wanted something affordable we could do. Back then at Fouts there was a “family package”. 4 tickets, a large domino’s pizza and 4 drinks for like $25. Cheaper than a high school game. I was hooked.

I have had season tickets ever since. Now I buy for my boys and their children. 3 generations of Mean Green fans at every home game!!!

Early aughts for me.

Was raised with it. I’ve never known any different.
