Wiki says he lives in Flower Mound. Does he ever show up at Fouts?

Yes. He came to at least one game last year, and I have seen him in the box (if you can call it that) on other occasions.

He didn't for quite a few years but he came to a couple of games last year. He sits in the AD's box and is greeted all of the way up.

For years he was playing and then coaching on the pro level. Last year he walked through the stands on the exes side to great applause. Evan the young lady sitting in front of me who then ask who Joe Greene was. Her grandfather and I quickly educated the young lass.

Ricky 'V' explains his theory of how money will appear for a stadium. Joe is skeptical.

Mean Joe would like to know why he's being arrested and handcuffed. Rick explains that it's a crime to not attend ALL of the home games each season.

His kids were in school (at UNT) in the early 90s also. I saw him around a few times back then.

I want to say that one (maybe both) of his sons were on the team.

His kids Major and Delon both played for North Texas.

Mean Joe had a long career as an assistant coach with the Steelers, Cardinals, and the Dolphins. He does now live in Flower Mound and has been to several games since he retired from coaching, I think he still does some scouting (prospect evaluations) for the Steelers, but he comes to North Texas games when he can.

Yes. Hewalked through the crowd last year and received a standing ovatation. As he walked by me I had to restrain myself from saying "Hey Mean Joe, want my Coke?" and extending my Diet Coke to him. I figured he had been beaten down enough by that the last few decades.

I'm sure he would give you a lecture on corn syrup, the obesity epidemic, and juvenile diabetes.

He was 2 seats in front of me in the "box" for Homecoming 1999. One of the few times my dad was ever excited about anything I "did" was that I got him a seat in the box near Joe Greene. I offered to get him an introduction but he said no...I think he was nervous. (My dad, not Joe ;) )

I would like to see the Joe Greene "Hey Kid" Coke commercial computer altered to have Mean Joe wearing a Green North Texas jersery. Just for fun.

Bye week...the other white meat.

GO MEAN GREEN

Somebody find me a good quality recording of the original and I'll take a crack at that challenge!

Check the blog on this site's front page. They posted it recently.

Most of the online versions out there are too poor of quality to attempt something like this. It would be best to have an original 3/4" or Beta tape to work with. Maybe if someone had an old VHS, it might be doable.

Wasn't it at the beginning of one of the many football movies made in the last 15 years or so? I think I remember seeing it when watching something quite a while back.

      Mean Green Host FAU Sunday

      DENTON – Riding a four-game winning streak, the UNT men’s basketball team hosts Florida Atlantic Sunday aiming to improve to its conference record to 6-1, which would be its best seven-game start to a league schedule since 1989. Sunday’s tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. CT from the Super Pit. The game will be broadcast on the Mean Green Sports Network, presented by Learfield and on ESPNU. North Texas (14-4, 5-1) enters Sunday’s game with a 10-0 record at home this season. It’s the first time they’ve won the first 10 home games in a season since 2018-19. They haven’t had an 11-0 record at home since the 2010-11 season when they won the first 12 home games of the year. The Mean Green’s 5-1 league record this season while impressive is not unfamiliar to the program. It is the seventh straight year North Texas has won five of its first six league games in a season. However, they haven’t had a 6-1 league record since 1989 when they were in the Southland Conference and finished with a 10-4 league record and won the SLC regular season championship. It would be the program’s last conference regular season title until 2020. UNT’s 14-4 overall record is tied for its fourth-best 18-game start to a season in program history but once again not unfamiliar to recent memory. This is the third year in the last four where the Mean Green have won 14 of their first 18 games to a season. Sunday North Texas hosts an Owl (10-9, 3-3) team that is under the leadership of first-year head coach John Jakus who for the previous seven seasons served on the staff at Baylor and helped lead the Bears to the 2021 National Championship. FAU enters Sunday having last played a week ago as they beat Rice at home 75-73 on Jan. 13. Two of the Owls’ three conference wins this season have been on the road. They beat East Carolina and Charlotte on the road in early January. The Mean Green lead the all-time series history against FAU 14-11 but heading into Sunday have lost five straight to the Owls. After Sunday’s game against FAU the Mean Green travel north to face Wichita State on Wednesday. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
