#GMGcast: JJ Murray and DJ Draper

[meangreen11]

Zac Babb and Hank Dickenson debut #GMGCast with former Mean Green men's basketball players JJ Murray and DJ Draper, discussing their The Basketball Tournament team "Bleed Green." Zac and Hank walk through JJ and DJ's journeys from walk-ons with the men's basketball program to key contributors on championship-winning teams. They break down everything that goes into creating a TBT team and how Mean Green fans can support Bleed Green as they gear up for their first game on July 22nd.

That's followed by a brief trip down the corridor of years in a segment called Babbling with Hank, where Zac and Hank talk about the 1995 North Texas football season and the infamous "Schedule from Hell" the Mean Green had to play in their return to the FBS ranks.

This was a great interview and I’m so ready to support this team going into the Tourney. Glad we have guys in our system excited to grow our brand.

Since apparently The Tournament really tracks engagement and fan interest in teams applying for the event, I'm sure it couldn't hurt for us all to register on their site and fill out a bracket. The registration is free and includes designating Bleed Green as your favorite team.
