Starting to see/hear references to Mean Green Machine, Mean Green Wrecking Machine or some variation along these lines in the media...either on sports news or broadcasts.  We must defend our brand or we will lose it.  Other media types or casual fans will pick up on this and before you long, that's how everyone will refer to us.  We are the Mean Green.  No additional verbiage allowed.  This needs to be reiterated ad nauseam by our AD in media handouts, directives, communications, corrections, etc.

This is the only time I can recall it being said as well. Didn’t have a problem with it. We “wrecked” brackets by beating Purdue.

Not sure where OP is seeing other references.

News segment on recent QB commit.  Also, all my friends are very aware of where I went to school and that I follow Mean Green sports.  Durning sports season, I get asked who the Mean Green Machine play this week or did the Mean Green Machine win last night.

I agree with Keith.  Just the facts, ma’am.  No more.  No less.  Mean Green. 
 

I’ve read the instructions distributed by the Athletic Dept pertaining to terms to use and terms to avoid.  The hand out says to refer to NT teams as North Texas, or Mean Green only.  Never UNT.   Bret Vito ignores that rule constantly.  The fewer monikers, the stronger the brand.

I was surprised when Ween painted UNT on the turf.

Yeah, that's not great...

I can't say I ever hear anyone refer to us as the "Mean Green Machine". The one I hear is  "Aren't y'all the Mean Green Eagles?"

      Hope he makes the roster. Would be fun to watch him sling it in the NFL.

      How Mean Green softball is shaping up in 2025 and beyond

      In my relatively short time as a Mean Green fan, I don't think I've seen a team so carried by seniors. This weekend's series was the last three games at Lovelace for 10 Mean Green seniors, and all but one (Truitt) was either an everyday starter or saw significant playing time. Here's who will be returning barring any transfers. All classifications are what they will be in 2025. Likely starters (in my opinion) Rylee Nicholson (SR) - UT Cierra Simon (SR) - SS Madison Conley (SO) - UT Tatum Sparks (JR) - UT Elizabeth Moffitt (SO) - C Jodie Epperson (JR) - OF Returning Pitching Staff Skylar Savage (SR) Mackenzie Childers (JR) Kayleigh Smith (SO) Returning, but will they play? Mikaela Olguin (JR) - OF Emma Grahmann (SR) - IF Blayze McNemar (SO or RS-F?) - OF Maci George (SO or RS-F?) - IF There doesn't appear to be a website to find commits for softball, so through social media, here are the incoming freshmen I have found: Katy Brock, OF, Mabank Shelby Buffington, P, Franklin Page (Tennessee) Rylie Harris, C, Forney Gracie Mahoney, P, Macomb Dakota (Michigan) - another 6 footer, like Skylar Ausha Moore, IF, Carl Albert HS (Midwest City, OK) Taylor Platt, OF, Argyle Committed Inbound Freshmen for 2026 Eva Daniels, IF, Forney Laila Nobles, IF, Pearland Addie Perry, UT/C, Aledo Love the Metroplex talent we are bringing in. Forney's currently the #1 team in the state. But looks like we still have a handful of spots to fill next year. Going to need to improve the hitting and power. Maybe we can land some home run threats in the portal who want to get closer to home. I'll post stories and highlights of the commits shortly.

      Hopefully after a few more years we will all be more accepting of heartbreak. I got used to it in high school.

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.
