Emerald-Eyed Joy

I just want to say, "Have I told you lately that I love you" to the Mean Green. You rock my world!! See you in August when it's warm!! Go Green!

I have seen Southlake Carroll's program in action. I wish I had seen Coach Dodge's words before his team met up with our beloved Plano Wildcats at Texas Stadium last December. We were undefeated coming into the match with the Dragons. We knew the job would be tough but our team's momentum was rolling like a runaway freight train and our fans were poised for the kill. He calmly proceeded to wear our Cats down and kill our will at a time when no one thought it possible. He did the same this week to the mighty Trinity team. He's got it down. My only redemption at this point would be to see him bring his class act to my class act school, UNT. Like all college teams, we have not always won every football game we played but we have always played by the rules. We have done the very best we could every year with honesty and integrity. We have won bowl games and lost some. We fans have loved our Mean Green through thick and thin for over a century now. All we need now is a shiny new stadium and a classy coach to match our team and our dead on die hard fans. Our school has historically been known as a school that was easy to get into and hell to get out of. Now we want to make our football program consistently match our academic standards because one benefits the other. Time to make it easy to come into our stadium, and hell to get out of it. There are enough teams in Texas alone to have made a kick ass conference. But several area teams & their fans have promoted themselves as "better than" for years and have been hesitant to even put us on their schedule. So if you get the nerve to play us or it looks like you can make a buck doing it we say to you, BRING IT. And when you do, it had better be your best or there'll be hell to pay.

Well, the most excellent nickname I've ever heard of was those guys called "the mean green". Now that's original my friend. I've been lovin' em since 1967 and the affair goes on..............
