For the first time in 50 years, No. 75 will be back on the field for the North Texas Mean Green. The school published a video playing off legendary defensive lineman “Mean” Joe Greene’s Coca-Cola commercial to make the announcement. It shows UNT junior defensive end LaDarius Hamilton inspecting a throwback North Texas helmet at his locker before Greene arrives and tosses him a jersey with his retired number. “Hey, kid, try this one,” says the 72-year-old Greene. “Wow,” Hamilton says. “Thanks, Mean Joe.” Hamilton was selected to wear Greene’s No. 75 just for Saturday’s game against Louisiana Tech because his traits as a leader, player and advocate best represented what Greene was to the program, according to a team spokesman.
