DRC: Greene calls having dorm named after him "incredible honor"

There are so many good things happening at our beloved university, thanks in part to Dr. Smatresk and Wren Baker.  We are finally beginning to realize our past and heritage that, IMHO, has been far too long overlooked and/or ignored. Honoring Joe Greene should have been done a long time ago.  I made a post a few days ago about the new emblem of Texas that will be displayed along with the SOW on the Apogee 50 yard line and how we have begun to "claim" our piece of Texas heritage. Some of you missed the meaning of that post, but for me, UT, A&M, Texas Tech, Texas State have grasped the meaning of "heritage." All have something in their brand/logo that reflects the state whether it be the Star or the big, bold State on their basketball courts. As the University of North TEXAS, we have every right, and should claim our piece of Texas"heritage" as well. I predict we'll see the same logo on the basketball court as well next season. Be proud of our past, celebrate our heroes and be proud to be "Texian!" Now, if we can just get the statues of Greene, Roy Orbison, and others, it will be complete.

GO MEAN GREEN!

Congratulations to Charles Edward Greene (I wonder if anyone ever thought to try and call him Chuck), you deserve this level of recognition. 

 

And as I've already mentioned in another thread, the pathfinders of Texas college sports integration, Abner Haynes and Leon King, also deserve recognition.  Hopefully before Abner Haynes passes away.

How in the world did they come up with Joe starting with Charles Edward?

Well deserved recognition.

Probably the same way that my brother (Robert Leon) ended up with the nickname "Butch".  My aunt gave it to him so that he wouldn't have to go through life as a Jr. 

Everyone that's ever heard that story didn't see "Butch" as an upgrade.
