This man was and still is very much under appreciated here.  I love the legend of Mean Joe anyone under 50 can remember seeing prime NFL Mean Joe playing.  There is no Joe Greene in a North Texas uniform without Odus Mitchell.  We have low expectations because with dismiss what Mitchell showed us was possible here.   Heaps of excuses and disgruntled fans attacking each other on our board.  Odus Mitchell is the kind of "Old Denton" I want.  And MAYBE if we truly honored him properly and consistently as the MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE in Mean Green Football history we could knock off some of the negative karma.  The Mean Joe Coke commercial is cute but is never something remotely associated with UNT Football without Mitchell rebuilding the program from WWII hiatus, winning, integrating CFB in Texas, and bringing Mean Joe to Denton.  Hayden Fry doesn't have enough in Denton to come and rescue without Mitchell.  How this program has underachieved for 20 years is an insult to his legacy imo.  I wasn't alive for his tenure and likely you weren't either.  But legacy is about what you can read about when there aren't cute videos!
