Breece "Hands" Johnson #17

Tune did a heck of a job, brought them back & gave them a chance to win AFTER the pick 6. You can't hang this loss on him... He was throwing very catachable balls... 2 end zone drops was what coat the game. I'd have loved to have seen Breece Johnson have a chance to catch those...

EXACTLY!

Wake up people! Surley Dodge knew what kind of results he going to find. This way he can put the blame for his lack of sucess on his players. Do the same thing at any other university in America and you would probally get the same results.

I wonder if Dodge/Deloach noticed that the two times we held Troy to 3 points in the red zone that Warren and Mahan were the ones making plays.

I heard the other day that the KAPPA girls have scored 212 points total for their flag football season and their opponents have only scored a total of 6 points against them.

I posted this topic last week. The team had green UA warm ups and white UA shirts last year. People on this board had a fit several years ago when the team came out in all black uniforms but now it is okay to walk through the Mean Green March in all black. I don't understand the Eagle Angels in all black either. There was a time when RV drove around this campus and exchanged shirts and hats that students were wearing with other schools' logos with UNT t-shirts and hats. It is in the small details. Small details such as being proud to wear your school colors; standing for the alma mater; walking over to the band and singing your alma mater at the end of a game, yelling for your teammates when you can't be on the sidelines with them. It is up to the coach to cover those small details. The small details lead to the larger details.

I think Dodge slammed the door on the Abilene and possibly the west Texas area by the way he treated the recruit from Abilene Cooper who had committed to Dickey. According to the interview with the Abilene Cooper head coach that was in the Abilene paper not only would Dodge NOT return the kids calls, he wouldn't return the calls of the coach either. I did a google search on the Abilene Cooper coach. He coached tight ends at the U of Houston for several years under Briles. Before coaching for Briles he had been a 5A high school at several high schools in Texas. So what does that man for UNT? I think that means you have a former D1 assistant coach now in the high school ranks that probably has a lot of football coaching connections that has spread the word about how he and one of his kids was treated by Dodge. I don't think that will work in UNT's favor.

This post had me calling people I know in Austin. They know some of the local high school coaches and ADs. They laughed when I read them this post. First, this isn't even a rumor going around Austin. Second, Dodge's father in law was moved to the SLC area after his stroke last year. Third, if the Westlake job were to come open in the couple years the real rumor is the next coach is a young up and coming coach out of the Austin ISD

Now, I don't think this should be Dodge recruits vs. Dickey recruits (and maybe that is the problem with this team.) Ding Ding, Ding and all being spearheaded by Dodge.

"Ten Men You Meet in a Huddle" concerning Coach Dodd of Georgia Tech. He was quoted as saying that he wanted three things from his team (and I am paraphrasing)....one, go to church, two go to class and three go to football practice. While DD was here he took the football team, his coaching staff and their familes to his church, the First Methodist Church of Denton the Sunday at the end of 2 days. The team sat together and the majority of team came. This year Dodge did this and only had about 20 players (mostly the subpar, bare cupboard jr. and sr. players) show up. A lot of these guys attend that Methodist church or the church that was started by a former UNT football player.

Remember Dodge keeps telling everyone he has his best players on the field. 90% of those players are Dodge's recruits. Lots of burned redshirts to make sure the best players are in the field and we are 0-5. So, I have to ask why do people on the board keeping saying Dodge inherited this mess and the cupboard was bare. The QB is a Dodge recruit. All but 2 of the receiving corp are Dodge recruits. The running backs and some of the o-line are Dodge recruits. Most of the defense are Dodge recruits. To those of you who keep saying Dodge inherited "this mess" I would like to know what the mess is?

Touche', Tasty. Not only has Dodge quit in every single game but he continues to put all the blame on the players and has yet to take any responsibility. He is teaching some great lessons on how to be a man and a good leader.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that noticed that the players were 25 yards behind Coach Dodge on the Mean Green March. That's not exactly the way you want to go into battle. Was the team making a statement? I believe Dodge would have the public believe that this lack of success is simply and a lack of talent. If he would step up and take responsibility, maybe the team would get behind him. Untill then, expect more of the same.

Look everyone! RV's best friend is back to posting.

Last year the team had green UA for their traveling clothes. UA may not make the UNT green but they do make green. You can go into any store that carries UA and they have green UA.

The most interceptions by a quarterback during their career at UT is held by none other than Todd Dodge.

People keep asking about leadership on this team. Well, when the head leader (Dodge) keeps blaming the players and NEVER takes any responsibility for a loss or a badly played game, there can't be any leadership until a real leader is brought in to not only lead the team but the coaching staff. I find it interesting that Dodge hasn't blamed his coaching staff for the losses. It is always the players. These players have to go to class and face the other students on campus. They have to listen to the jokes and the sneers. Dodge and his coaching staff don't have to put up with any this. I agree, don't boo these kids. The person calling the plays needs to step up and take some responsibilty for the play calling. By the way did anyone else see DeLoach get in Dodge's face a couple times?

Emmitt, this is probably the best post you have ever made. A lot is going to be learned.

I would love to see Brock Stickler back in there. He's a great player that has been overlooked - healthy for 2 weeks now. A fine young man that is in a potential leadership position with this team - if only he were allowed to be. I understand the mentality of wanting to find a group of players to work together over a course of 2-4 years, but much needed upper classman leadership has been passed over on this team.

Just for the record there are players on the team that where here before Dodge. Alot of them came from high school programs that were considered winning programs and even went to the state playoffs. Hey, some of them were all district from their areas. They have stuck with the football program through a lot more than 2-14. Oh that's right they weren't recruited by Dodge so they don't count. Doesn't say much for Dodge's recruits if they can't stick around when the going is tough especially when this is only their second year.

Ahhh, now someone has finally addressed what I beleive to be the biggest delima this team faces. Leadership. Leadership. Leadership. Throw respect in there & I think that's the crux of our problem...
