A few months ago when Tony Mitchell declared for the draft, he had more than a few people question his ability to make it in the league or even make the opening day roster.

At first it seemed like the decision to leave UNT after two years might backfire when he fell to the second round of the NBA draft. Well, the Pistons are set to open against the Washington Wizards tonight and guess whos on the roster?

Yep, Tony Mitchell.

Tony Mitchell made his NBA debut tonight. He came off the bench and grabbed a rebound in Detroit’s 113-102 win and thus proved all the doubters who said he would never play in the NBA wrong

Hopefully by mid-season he'll work his way into non garbage time minutes. Gotta earn your time after all.

I could be wrong but at least 15 guys make the NBA's opening day rosters; with about 12-13 active. When the D-League starts up, as many as 2-3 will be sent down (and called up) throughout the season. I've been a Mitchell fan since I first saw him as a 9th grader but he could still spend more time in the D-League than with the Pistons.

      Ok, hear me out here…

      I’m not saying I want him back as the HC, or even the OC…but can we let Dickey take over the offense ONLY once we are inside the red zone?

      Army is a good team

      I thought we played a good game against a better team. They are undefeated for a reason. We played hard. Win 3 to end the season and go into post season.

      Today We Were the Visitors on Our Home Field...

      The regular fans in our section were surrounded by Army fans, and they acted like the owned our stadium. DATCU had to be somewhere between 40-60% Army fans for this game. Unfortunately, our team didn't put them in their place. Morris made some very questionable calls, and Army's defense (comprised of 2-star talent we wouldn't even let walk-on at UNT), made a joke of our "high-powered" offense. The Army fans near us were annoying and mouthy. They even went so far as to call Mean Green fans "a bunch of vaginas", when many fled following our first endzone pick. By the end of the game, the entire event had become an embarrassment for North Texas. So what can we really take away from this game? The North Texas football program never answers the challenge when faced with a real opportunity to be something better, and sadly our leadership believes that is acceptable. Sure, we will back into a sh!tty bowl game (against a team from a conference we left). But we won't be anything more than we are right now. We will continue to be a visitor in our stadium every time a real program shows up.

      I keep seeing posts about how the defense got it done today. I didn’t see that. Army did what they always do to high powered offense teams- slow down, hold the damn ball. We couldn’t force a turnover for large portions of that game. We couldn’t hold the line against that run. I agree that the offense didn’t do them any favors, but Army played us like a damn fiddle for 14 minutes.
