How Was Work On Friday?

UNT90 · September 5, 2009

I work with 2 rabid OU fans and 2 rabid TTech fans (yes, they all attended the schools for which they cheer). Every single one of them stopped by to congratulate me on UNT's victory (maybe I tell them I help coach, and maybe I tell opposing teams coeds on road trips that my name is Scott Davis). 3 of them even watched some of the game, and agree that R. Dodge looks like the real deal.

This, after the hell they gave me last year, sure felt good. Any other experiences, good or bad??

I would suppose anyone who talks obsessively of their university (often when there is nothing about which to be excited) heard from those who have had to live with said babbling.

I don't work in an office but got about 20 phone calls or emails yesterday, from all over the country.

I had one fist pump from another UNT Alumni. Sadly the days football topic revolved around an Oregon punch.

It was refreshing to go into the office after a UNT win. My two immediate bosses are Mean Green, with a whole lot of mixed Big XII blood elsewhere. UT, KU, Oklahoma State (!) and TTech alumn are within the department. Along with Houston and TCU. A guy moved on a few months ago: he brought WKU and Ol' Miss to the college sports sherbert that is my area.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel after the disaster of the previous two years everyone in the office seems to wish us well.

Wore a solid green shirt to work. Multiple people came up and congratulated me, most saying they watched a portion of the game.

My boss a mizzou grad who grew up in Nebraska and is still a fan, no mention, my other boss who went to SWT said Nice Win. I work with a bunch of NT alums and a couple students they were ecstatic. Couple of Texas grads, congratulated us alums and a bunch of the other guys said the same.

Yes I too had this happen. One girl wrote as a ps on an email "Go Mean Green"....she went to A&M. I think my favorite was the guy across from me who is a UNT Alum who doesn't ever follow UNT told someone else at work that he was excited about the season....I gave him a t-shirt.
