North Texas tweets a jab at Tennessee's torn-up turf
Tennessee’s torn-up turf at Neyland Stadium was the target of a jab by athletic department members at North Texas, the Volunteers’ opponent this afternoon. Ironically, North Texas nickname is “Mean Green.”
Taking to twitter on the football program’s MeanGreenFootball account, North Texas used this video to show one way Tennessee could have made sure its turf was green for the game.
