How deep does green run in the family?

[MeanGreenBuzz]

My family goes back a long way here.

Grandfather and Grandmother in the late 40s

Father and Uncle in the 70s (Mom went to T-Dub)

Me and my brother currently

So 6 of my family have gone or are going to UNT.

[CMJ]

Let's see. I went to NT as did my brother.

My parents went to NT.

One of my Mom's older cousins went to NT.

I think that's it.

[MeanEd]

I voted 2 generations

Dad Undergrad and Masters

Brother Undergrad and Masters

Myself Undergrad

Daughter

Attending UT Austin but has taken summer school

That should count for 2 1/2

[gksmith]

I am sort of a 1.5 generation North Texas - er.

My dad is a professor there for almost 40 years. He did not graduate from UNT but I did.

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

I was the first at UNT and in fact was the first family member to attend college other than one cousin. Two of my three kids have UNT degrees.

[GreenBrigadeDebbie]

I am the only one who went to UNT and who bleeds Mean Green. I got both my bachelor and master's at UNT. My mom went to Creighton, my dad went to Wisconsin-Madison, and my brother got his bachelor's at UT-Austin and is in current pursuit of his MBA at UT.

Gotta love the Mean Green!

[NTEdgex2]

I'm the first in my family to get a degree. B.A. in '74. Met my future husband in '71 in front of Willis Library (he was not a student, just on campus visiting a mutual friend). My daughter graduated in May of '05. We're the only two so far (that's why the x2), but if I ever have any grandkids, you can bet that grandma will be pushing NT!

GMG!

One of our current players' Grandpa was an All American center and is in the NT Hall of Fame. Anyone know who the player is? He also has a sister who is a senior at NT. Anyone know who his Grandpa is?

My sister and I both graduated from NT, while my cousin also did and another cousin got his Masters at NT.

You mean Colt Mahan?

[ScreaminEagle]

Yes, it's Colt. He and his Grandad are both very proud of each other. His Grandad prefers to be considered an 'Eagle', and jokingly gives Colt a hard time for considering himself 'Mean Green'. I hope I don't stir something up saying that!! The North Texas pride is very deep in this family.

[Bryan316]

So far, I'm the only 4th generation grad (come December).

Both parents

Maternal grandmother

Maternal great-great aunt (Grace Cartwright)

and at least 25 other members of my family have attended/graduated from NT over the last many years.
