----This past week I have worn a UNT "hoodie" several times (cold) also a green UNT light weight jacket several places and have received a lot of comments from people in various places... [ stores, bank. pharmacy, wife's school ] from them and claiming they watched and enjoyed our bowl game.... I think it gave us a lot of needed attention and I live in West Texas. Having our bowl game on New Years Day I think helped us a lot as well since historically that has been a big bowl watching day.. Never in the past have I had that many comments on what UNT clothing I was wearing. I was on a Christmas Cruise this year in the Caribbean ( a first) and also had several comments on ship when I was wearing a UNT T-shirt.. most were asking if I I lived in Denton.... several were from non-Texans.

---The game was very good for us.. Hope others have seen the same...

I am referred to as Mr Mean Green by a bunch of folks that I do not know. And while picking my kid up from Marcus High School I spotted a kid in NT gear and then there was my boy in his green long sleeved show your Mean Green pride shirt. And I had my smoker painted green.

Found this on Midland TV news site:

____________

LAS VEGAS - Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman is making good on a bet with the mayor of Denton, Texas, after UNLV lost a bowl game last week.

Goodman will sport a University of North Texas T-shirt at a Wednesday morning City Council meeting. She's already paid $100 to the UNT athletic department.

Goodman had made a bet with Denton Mayor Mark Burroughs when their respective teams squared off in the Heart of Dallas Bowl on New Year's Day. The loser would wear the winning team's shirt to a council meeting.

The Mean Green beat the Rebels 36-14.

I was in Ruidoso, NM on Bowl Day (planned by wife well before bowl invites) and wore my Mean Green hoodie on the slopes that night. Received comments from four different groups of people about the game.

Several years ago (probably 20) I was in Illinois for a friends wedding and wore a UNT hoodie on the flight and was asked what it stood for. We have come a long way.

Your smoker is the source of my life's greatest bout with envy

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
