When I left VCU in 1995, headed to UNT for a new job, the song on the radio when I pulled into the airport was Time to Move On by Petty. Today, leaving for last time as a full time, it was on 91.7. God is the best DJ. Last sunset on 35 W. Thx and GMG
Deep thoughts - between last nite’s 13-4 upset AND the NIT coverage of the court at the Pit, you could argue that
@MeanGreenMBB
is affording the University its greatest branding ever. Athletics is the front porch..few things show it off better than NCAA tourney
So proud of the Mean Green fans for turning disappointment into gratitude so quickly after the game tonite. What if it looked like this every game - and why not?! My thanks to
@UNTCoachGMac
his total staff and
@MeanGreenMBB
for one of the most treasured seasons ever.
Hated to let down anyone today, but I have never been 4-1 and witness to the two greatest crowds in school history in the month of September. Lots of football left and much of today was epic.

Senior WR Jaelon Darden was named a Walter Camp 2nd Team All-America selection, officially making him a consensus All-American. Darden is the Mean Green's 1st consensus AA since "Mean" Joe Greene was a 1st team selection in '68. We witnessed greatness this year -thank you

Really hard to Focus on
@MeanGreenMBB
practice after receiving this! 3 in 3 years - brother it ain’t lost on me how good this run has been. And it’s about to continue…thx
@UNTCoachGMac
NT had 66 offensive plays of 15+ yards a year ago. 35 have already occurred this year. Notes like this don't just happen.
@JordanGStepp
records them, the copier spits them out and I repeat them.

Our Mean Green family extends thoughts and prayers to the family of Coach Chuck Mills. Out of respect for his long connection with NT, as a player and coach, his image is the only thing on the highway marquee and the lights at Apogee will be on all night. RIP Coach Mills.
Well, that was a good day at the office. Among the best! Great to celebrate w colleagues - and even better to celebrate with the one that has had to put up with all of the non-celebratory moments. I don’t take these kind of days for granted. Thank you

Not playing favorites here, but if you need good carry out Q and maybe a few other items, do Metz a fav. Been a Mean Green season ticket holder and top flight fan for over 35 years. Just sayin...corn nuggets, please.
Sat marks my 26th season of
@MeanGreenFB
- missed very few games over the years and normally due to a head to head hoops conflict. But I’ve been at EVERY home game in that time span. So glad tomorrow keeps streak alive. Cheater wall almost complete. On air 5:30
B2B 9 win football seasons, three consecutive bowls, a first post season basketball title last year and now an 11-1 start which includes a road win at The Pit. Y’all think I am taking this for granted? Thank you
@MeanGreenMBB
and
@MeanGreenFB
- been a helluva year.

So many memories of Fouts Field....most are good. But, must admit, its sad to see a place that you battled for over 20 years to sell advertising in, fund video boards, create hospitality areas...we called it "puttin' lipstick on the pig". Join us for a formal farewell.

: If yer gonna work in this field, marry a gal that has played and coached and is capable of passing all athletic genes to your kids. Blessed to celebrate 25 years with “Coach” today!
Almost done packing for NIT. Thx to
@MeanGreenMBB
for taking the old guy to Vegas - and to
@DevinLewis79
for loaning me the magic jacket..l hope it needs a trip to cleaners on Friday!
We look to be pretty darn deep at RB heading into ‘19. Sort of hard to beat THIS one-two punch in yer backfield. I mean, if you enjoy national rushing leaders at any level...
@MeanGreenFB
Thx to all of the Denton Firefighters who controlled the blaze on our historic downtown square. Many of us are friends with those business owners and understand the horrible loss, but nobody was hurt. And nobody died.

Due to scheduling issues, my initial guest speakers
@JulieAnnDobbs
and
@EmilyJonesMcCoy
had to pass. So, I went to the Argyle bullpen for my old pal
@GeorgeDunham
I wouldn’t be teaching this class without him and I always appreciate his time!
#supersub
Best thing about driving thru the old neighborhood and knowing that the swag you made available still has a shelf life. My college roomate’s dad caught mowing the yard.
Perhaps the Mt. Rushmore of NFL radio crews was in the Bill Mercer tonite.
@Boys_Vox
@BabeLaufenberg
and Kristi Scales helped “kickoff” Sports Broadcast 3340. They were famously received!
4 years ago today
@MeanGreenMBB
beat South Dakota as the 16th seed in a 16 team CBI. They went on a great run and won it all. Tomorrow, the NIT begins. Shift gear time.
From 2002 - 2015, a span of 14 seasons, UNT scored 40 or more points only 16 times.
Tonight is already the 16th time in the Seth Littrell era that the Mean Green has scored at least 40! So, we light the party light and thanks to Chris Wiley for the stat
Many thx to
@nadeler
, Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation, UNT’s Mayborn School of Journalism & Department of Media Arts for creating the Eric Nadel Excellence in Sports Broadcasting Scholarship. The $30K scholarship will provide 2 broadcast students $15K each for 2 academic yrs.
It is with a heavy heart that we share news of the passing of Hall of Fame basketball coach Jimmy Gales. Wonderful leader, teacher and family man who impacted so many. First one to take NT to the Big Dance - 1988. RIP Coach Gales.
Each team could take turns hosting every Thanksgiving - a once in 4 year obligation, but minimal travel during a holiday weekend no matter what. I love it!
I want a college hoops tournament with these schools.
Each plays 3 games, over a weekend. One school hosts, then it rotates to another campus next year.
Winner gets a 🏆 + DFW bragging rights.
It'd be great for fans, recruiting, & local businesses.
Call it Metroplex Madness.
Well, have not met the students yet, but guest speakers for Sports Broadcast 3340 in the Fall are pretty damn impressive. Indebted to this and all past line ups. Makes for a popular course!
Always says the right things, always does the right things and now a senior. If you can’t get excited for this kids last year at NT....I can’t help ya.

Benefits of growing up next door to me 1) you learn complete Cheap Trick catalogue by age 5 2) local branding of the home team is emphasized 3) I support neighborhood lemonade sales
Our run ends in the championship, as Bleed Green falls 78-73.
Thank you to EVERYONE who supported our guys from in the stands or at home through this unbelievable journey.
It’s a bittersweet ending, but rest assured we will be back in 2024 to avenge ourselves!

application - still waiting
Last road win vs P5 team? 21-14 in Lubbock in 1999. Jason Attaway, the slinger from Sanger, was 4-18 passing but hit on two TD strikes and Jeff Rodgers grabbed a pick 6 from the LB slot. This was one has been a long time coming. Pulled pork sandwiches on the plane.
Love Field security. TSA Lady looks at my shirt and asks “what’s Mean Green?”. I explain, from a hoops perspective, that it is an impenetrable force of nature that rarely allows 60pts. I say “What’s TSA?” Get yer ears on the ball tonite!
Rarely have I entered this building so excited! Get yourself to the Fabulous Super Pit TODAY for a 1pm showdown between your

Someday soon Fouts Field will be but a memory. So, I decided to claim an off-the-beaten path part of its history for my office. Only a few will truly appreciate the power of the Green Chair....
#drypair
I know I have dropped the ball as a Dad when I compare myself to mine, but these guys still turned out pretty darn good (Mom’s gene pool). Today, we watch the repeat of the AFC Championship game at the Daddy Shack. That’s parenting.
They are always awesome as independent speakers, but as a tandem - wow! Mavs doubleheader in the Mercer Room with

Happy to get started today w/

this weekend in San Antone. Blending both opportunities is gonna be fun/challenging. Business leads always welcome....
Certainly appreciate the well wishers, those concerned about my relative well being and even those that poked fun. I loved em when they were just the chefs. But now they are the champs!
