That was pretty funny, but they never said it was Riley. OldTimer, are we recruiting another QB?

That's a Kronic problem with GAC. He's a flaming moron.

It's pinned in the basketball forum.

I think you have a Quoner-like crush on Coach Dodge, either that or you are hearing things (in bold) that aren't being said.

YES

F that, I'm entitled to "MY," not yours, opinion.

This is the main reason I don't listen to GAC or 103.3 much. They are F'n IDIOTS. NO, I repeat NO High School football team would beat a Div. 1 college FB team.

Those A$$holes asked him if his last year's Southlake team could beat this year's NT team. Todd chuckled and said "No." F Galloway and his producer. That's why I don't listen to those F'n Morons.

That would be the Scott Hall 32 yard TD pass to George Marshall to beat NMSU in 2001.

Dhati Lewis is the coach of Denton Calvary, the 6-man private school program. I googled him and this is the first thing that popped up. Sounds like he is having a good life after playing at NT. http://www.dts.edu/about/profiles/Dhati_Lewis Every Sunday in California little Dhati Lewis watched his father, Reggie Lewis, play football and proudly cheered him on. With a professional football player as a dad, Dhati got to live the life that few know—he had everything he could dream of as a child. Then when Dhati was in fifth grade, his father was cut from the team, leaving the Lewis’ with no money. They were soon on welfare and his parents were divorced. But, the Lord gifted Dhati with his father’s talent in football, and he began using it at the age of five. As he grew older, football became Dhati’s god, guiding him in all his decisions and feelings. “I didn’t smoke, I didn’t drink, I didn’t do all those things because of football. When football was going good, I was excited, but when it was going bad, I was depressed and frustrated because that’s what gave me value in life.” After high school, some smaller colleges offered football scholarships to Dhati, but he wanted to play football for a large school, so he decided to not play for a while and attend community college in California. That’s when he hit a low point in his life. “I really didn’t know what to find my significance in, partly because as a child my Sundays were spent watching my dad instead of in church. I really went through a period of searching.” Dhati studied Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and other religions trying to find the truth. One day his friend’s mother bought him his first Bible. Continuing his search, he started reading the book of Matthew. The summer going into his sophomore year he began attending a Christian church. “I remember people always going down to the altar at the end of the sermons to accept Christ, and I always wanted to do it, but I was scared. Then one day before church started I decided that I would walk down the aisle and give my life to Christ the next Sunday. I don’t know what the pastor talked about that Sunday because I was so excited about getting to walk down.” That day he accepted Christ as his Savior. Dhati soon got a football scholarship to the University of North Texas (UNT) and transferred there in January of his sophomore year. At UNT he met Christians who lived out their beliefs in a way he hadn’t seen before. Gradually, the Lord started shifting Dhati’s goals from being a professional football player to working in full-time ministry. The first game of his senior year served as a pivotal point in Dhati’s life. “I had this shoulder injury that kept coming back, and I remember playing against Vanderbilt University when I got hit, and my shoulder popped out again. It was at that time that I realized that these were the last eleven games that I would get to play serious football. And the funny thing was that I had a peace about it.” A few years earlier in Denton, Dhati and some of his friends saw a need among those in the African-American community that was not being met by other Christian groups on his college campus, so they started a ministry called Men of Virtue and Excellence. Through that he saw his passion for ministry. “We wanted to create a ministry that was both culturally relevant and doctrinally sound—it was an African-American ministry. I would go to every Christian meeting available on campus where they would teach the Word because I felt like I didn’t know anything. I saw a need among my friends when I would ask them to come, but because the meetings were with predominately white organizations, they wouldn’t feel comfortable, or would feel like it was not culturally relevant to them.” So as Dhati’s life started turning toward ministry, he continued to recognize that need again and again. He then started working with Impact, a ministry of Campus Crusade that reaches out to African-Americans. After participating in Impact for a while, Dhati began to recognize the importance of connection with a local church. He had been attending Denton Bible Church, and wanted to start a ministry similar to Impact, but with Denton Bible Church as the sponsoring, home church. Pastor Tommy Nelson backed Dhati’s vision and in 2001, Plumbline was launched on the UNT campus. They started meeting Sunday afternoons and then attending a night service together at the church. It has grown tremendously in the past two years. In the 2001-2002 school year Dhati also entered and completed Tommy Nelson’s discipleship program. This led him through his decision to start Plumbline and also confirmed his desire for seminary training. Upon completion of the discipleship program Dhati enrolled in the Th.M. program at DTS with a dual emphasis in historical theology and pastoral leadership. Dhati would love to plant a church with an emphasis on community and discipleship. His passion is to reproduce men through discipleship, and college students are his main focus. “Wherever we plant a church it will have to be near a college because I think that college students are the best to minister to. They have the most time, they are willing, and they are the most radical about what they’re doing.” Dhati is married to Angela—they have a daughter named Trinity and are expecting another baby girl in December.

In honor of Todd Dodge, the McDonald's in Denton has an even larger size than the super-size. When ordering, just ask to be Dodgesized.

Football preview edition/Hoops news It has been a crazy few hours here at the Denton Record-Chronicle, where we have been putting the final touches on our football preview section. The project is the biggest of our year. It takes weeks to plan, write, edit and produce. The section will be in tomorrow's paper and includes eight pages of UNT stories, photos, graphics and other content. Be sure to pick up a copy if you live in the area or can drive into our circulation region without going too far out of your way. We cranked the last bit of it out during an all-nighter that lasted well into the early morning hours today, bringing all blog activity to a halt. Now that we are back at it today, I do have a small bit of news on the basketball front. I received the unfortunate word just a few minutes ago that Chris Higgs is going to have to give up playing basketball because of a back injury that required surgery. The junior guard didn't get to travel to the NCAA Tournament because of the injury. The former Sanger standout played in just one game last season and seven the year before when he scored five points. Where Higgs was valuable was in practice where he chased guys like Kendrick Davis and Calvin Watson around the court in scrimmages and made them better. Ask any coach on the college level and he will tell you that walk-ons are an important part of any team because of what they do in practice. UNT has lost a good one in Higgs.

No It would have killed me, but I would have had to cheer for another FB team if Bomar were at NT.

I rarely wish failure on anyone, but this kid is a liar and a cheater and I hope he throws 5 interceptions this season in his opening game, 6 the next and he gets benched and is forgotten by the pro scouts. If he gets drafted, I hope it is with the last pick in the draft and gets cut by whoever drafted him. I hope he gets cut at every level of football he attempts and then has to make a living cleaning out animal cages. Because that is what he delivered in that interview, animal $hit.

I don't know what team play's in the town Die Scheide von Wal.

I would think so and don't call me SHIRLEY!!

I resemble that remark.

Going to be in San Antonio with my parents. Will watch the game down there but I'll TiVO it here to watch the replay.
