Official 2012 UNT Player Adoption Thread

[MeanGreenTexan]

It has become a fun yearly tradition for Mean Green faithful to chose one of their favorite players on the team and "adopt" them as their player-to-watch. Weekly update threads are formed after each game to brag on your boy's statistics, or that jaw-dropping play he made or was in on.

Here is a link to the roster.

http://www.meangreen...=562&SPSID=9053

Take a look-see and chose the guy you want to adopt. It doesn't matter who: It could be a guy you think is going to be all-conference, a sleeper that you think will surprise everyone, a freshman that you expect to blow up, or some just choose out of pity's sake.

Make your picks here.

With the first pick in the first round, MeanGreenTexan selects: Zachary Orr. MLB.

Bust some heads Zach!

I guess we can have multiple people adopt a single player, but in case you didn't see, check out the very first post in this thread.

Told you I was a rookie. I was wondering why he had not been picked yet. I'll grab someone else, no worries!

[pastorgrant]

I'll go with Dylan McDorman

[UNTLifer]

I know he's already been picked in this thread, but he was my player last year and I'm sticking with him.

Derek Thompson

On defense, I'll have to go with my favorite player (but I'm not helping with the grocery bill!).

Ryan Boutwell

[UNT 90 Grad]

Gimme Zach Olen. I used to work with the dad of a friend of his, so we're practically family already anyway.

[EagleMBA]

The road to Cantly goes through ME!

I have adopted him for the last two seasons and want him AGAIN. I suffered through the maturing process and his injuries, and now that he's poised to kick ass on a big-time basis you want to take him away. Shame on you!

I back down meekly. I've missed this thread the last two years, but remember, we talked to him before he even played a down here.

Still, respect and a nod.

I choose Ken Griffey, Jr.

Also, give me Dirty Byrd.

I will go with Long Snapper Blake Dunham
