  1. Let’s see. Southlake Carroll has 4 state titles without Todd Dodge (3 before him and 1 since). Austin Westlake was a real downtrodden program before the “legend” got there, only going to the state final in 1990, 1994, 2000, 2001, 2006, and 2009 while winning 76% of their games all-time…and they really fell off after he left, only going a combined 28-2 (with both losses to North Shore) in the last two years. And Drew Brees was their only notable alumnus…as long as you don’t count Sam Ehlinger or Nick Foles, and this guy who was under center during Dodge’s state title wins: https://247sports.com/Player/cade-klubnik-46056879/high-school-219672/ Yeah, Dodge has been a real do more with less kinda guy. Ever taken the time to look up his coaching record when he isn’t in an ultra-affluent suburb.
  2. Led? Leading is taking a team that DOESN’T have more resources than all of its opponents to a place they haven’t been before…it is not taking an already successful program with incredible resources to the place that they will naturally reach. I’d like to see how he’d do at a place with few resources and without an established tradition of dominance…maybe a place like North Texas. Guess we’ll never know how that would turn out though. 🤔
  3. It appears that he is set to take over as head coach of Lovejoy high school. The man is a true pioneer, taking on the Herculean task of winning at places like Southlake Carroll, Austin Westlake, and now a school where they went 12-2 last season.
  4. How embarrassing for Dallas then since you’ve plastered the city’s name across the chests of your “not very good” team…well, it would be embarrassing if anyone was ever there to see it
  5. I’m talking about North Texas across the board, football included.
  6. One of the things I have hated for YEARS, and discussed with other fans, is that we have a “tradition” of: - Hyping up big games, and - Having a chance to really make a statement, and - Pulling in big crowds, and - Crapping the bed Last night we had a great atmosphere, showed everyone a great game…and WON! That is huge because that is how you turn people who are just there for the novelty into people who want to come back consistently. The group sitting behind me commented several times “this is really fun” and “I didn’t know North Texas games were like this.” THAT is how you build a lasting fanbase.
  7. I don't think it is personal, if I had to guess it's because your handle gives people PTSD* *I'm kidding....mostly 😂
  8. Wait, you expect these guys to actually travel for a game? If they do, I’m sure we can handle all 7 of them being somewhere in the Super Pit
  9. WHAT???!!! You mean to tell me that quality teams can lose on the road and NOT automatically become “soft”, or “lucky to have won the games they won”???
  10. Whoever made that…double their salary NOW
  11. Per sources, Miami didn't commit pass interference against Ohio State. The NCAA is surely going to award the Hurricanes a national title any day now.
  12. Ladies beat (demolish) SMU for first time since 1989…and out-rebound them by TWENTY
  13. 30-26 at half. Replicate that in the 2nd and I’ll be happy.
  14. I’ve always believed culture trumps everything. Instill (and reinforce) a culture of accountability, no excuses, and EXPECTED success and you will see the results you want.
  15. Coach: I was very disappointed in your effort during practice this week, and I will NOT tolerate you skipping classes. Player: My next coach will
  16. Here is the key difference: Tech fans go to games to see Tech, so things like weather, opponent, holidays, what they had for breakfast, etc. don’t keep them away. Our “fanbase” will wait for the perfect circumstances (AND other people showing up first so it’s cool to be there) before they’ll show up in real numbers.
  17. You mean like the mystery “P5 defensive lineman” we heard about 3 days ago…and never again??
