Jj's Radio "insult"

[SAGreenFan]

Since the Memphis Kittens have their panties in a twist about JJ laughing after an interviewer asked how they would do against Ohio St., I've been thinking about why he laughed. Does he really think that Memphis wont get that far or do that well, or do you think he's tired of every interviewer asking him how Memphis and other opponents will do later in tournament without once asking how he thinks NT will do... or is that just me.

Just a though...

Great point. I hadn't thought of it like that. JJ was the one actually getting insulted because for Memphis to play Ohio State that means the interviewer gave JJ no chance of winning and figured we'd lose this Friday... kinda of a backhanded slap if you ask me... Sounds like JJ handled this gracefully as he seems to handle most adversity.

Absolutely, the insult was on JJ and NT. For this radio announcer to even ask JJ about what his opponent is going to do 4 rounds deep in the tournament is an insult to NT, JJ and our fans. JJ handled it the best way possible. It's like the perverbial, "have you stopped beating....(you know the rest)" question.

This is JJ's sixth season at North Texas. If anyone can show me proof that he has ever said anything bad about any player, coach, team or university I will kiss their a$$ at noon Sunday on the steps of the Denton First Baptist Church.

And if that ever happened from JJ, may the ghosts of Dr. L. L. Armstrong (former FBC, Denton, minister from decades ago) and his Minister of Music , ie, the late Mr. Bill Shadle haunt those who say JJ has done such. (One job I had in college was being a janitor at FBC Denton and I got to know those 2 late "sainted" staffers on a first name basis--hey, even a part time janitor gets a little respect from most Baptist!

From a distance and as mostly a MG footballer, my impression of Coach Johnny Jones has always been such that it had me pulling for this NT staffer to be a success in Denton because of the way he treats people. Truly wish I could have had the same feelings for others up there the last 2 or so decades.

BEAT THE MEMPHIS TIGERS!

The Memphis people are quite sure they will be playing on Sunday, and their players are mainly worried about their haircuts. Oh please, Mean Green win this game so I can feast on some misery.
