The whole team can go to regionals, its not a qualifying event. The question is, will the coaches take the whole team? Probably not, as they should not. The guys team consists of two New Zealanders and a handful of walk-ons. I blame this poor finish on the coaching change that occurred this fall. The new distance coach has not had any time to recruit as he came in during August. Also, it takes time to develop runners, so he has not had that time either. Give him a couple years and I think we will be at the top of the Sunbelt again. He is a very passionate young guy. Good recruits will love him. I think they will only take the top two guys to regionals as Patrick Strong might have a chance to move on, if he has an outstanding race at regionals. The cross team has consistently finished in the top 4 in the past 5 or 6 years. This is not terrible though. We beat half of the conference. I think the team will be there once some recruits come in. Let's not be too disappointed. How many pointless years did Dodge have?

The way Riley Dodge has handled this has given me much much much more respect than I ever had for the guy. I've always thought Todd Dodge was a very respectable man, but have not always been impressed by his son until now. This is based on personal interactions and not just observations from a far.

So, if RV were to reassign him before the season ended what position would he take? Fundraising? Assistant AD? I would find it disrespectful to make him an assistant HC under a new HC. I would hope he nor RV would stand for that. It would also be in poor taste to demote him to a lowly position within the athletic department... janitor or even a strength coach or the like. Any comments on this? Has any other school done this in the recent past? After looking at the way the season is playing out and TD's contract, I would not put this past the school... I wouldn't put it past myself if I were in RV's position.

I know for a fact that Riley is not close to 6 ft. I am 6'1" and he is much shorter than me as compared in person.

Let's win at least 2 in a row before we start discussing how we should expand our not-yet-built stadium for a team that can't win more than 2 games in a season.

I like windmills too.

I didn't think I was threatening anyone. I just meant that I've about given up on this team for the year. That I'm considering not paying much attention to the Mean Green for the rest of the season. Its not worth worrying about.

I beg to disagree. Last year's games were just as close. Although, the closer the lost the worse it is.

I can't hold on to pulling for this team much longer. Things are getting out of hand and ridiculous.

ARE YOU KIDDING? I HOPE THIS IS A JOKE!!! It has not gotten any better or closer since last year. There is NO reason for another chance. 2009: vs. Ohio: 30-31 vs. ULL: 34-38 vs. FAU: 40-44 vs. Army: 13 - 17 vs. ASU: 26-30

Would RV oust Dodge during the middle of the season? I don't know if RV has the balls to do so.

Its funny how the length of time it takes for a coach to develop a team increases a year each year. Four years is more than plenty. They are all Dodge's athletes. I'm not on the Dodge train... I'm on the North Texas train. If Dodge is best for NT then so be it, if he is not then so be it. I'm starting to think he is not. I don't understand those who are 100% for Dodge this far into his career with us. The fact is, we are loosing. When the track team placed 4th in conference this year, you guys thought that was terrible. Yet we have a team that has not won more than 2 conference games a season and you're ok with the coach? Ridiculous.

...and that shows the power of a Mean Green win: light shattering.

I should have clarified what I meant. I did not credit RV with assigning the report, yet I meant that the report should not have changed the outlook of his job because all it did is repeat stuff that he should have known.
