And once it gets in, you can't get it out. Beck: [stammers] Well, then what? Mariana: They have to amputate. Beck: Not this boy's pinto. Uh-uh, not today! The Rundown (2003)

SAFEWAY BOWL

Just heard back on Kevin Dickerson. Here is what his HS coach said. Kevin is a big time leader and comes from a great family. He is one of the hardest workers to come through here and we believe in hard work here. Kevin will work his way into a spot at UNT. He is a muscular guy that runs solid routes and he is very tough and can take a hit. I was so impressed with Kevin in the four years he was here that we re-named our Coaches Award after him. The coaches award is the most significant award we give. It is not handed out at a Sports Banquet but at graduation. It stands for everything we think a Calvary player should be and will continue to be. Hope this helps! Coach Gober Calvary Christian Academy

My source says that Woody decided that he wanted to play QB and he is transfering to Langford University in Oklahoma.

Recruiting guru Randy Rodgers Ever heard of Robert Griffin? Rodgers says you will, and soon By Scott Boyter Editor Randy Rodgers has been around the world of college football recruiting for 35 years. He has served as a recruiting coordinator for the University of Texas and is currently a recruiting analyst for Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine and Fox Sports Network. He provides scouting and evaluation information to 50 Division I programs. He took some time on a road trip to Houston to talk about how the recruiting game has changed since he started, and shares his thoughts about the highest profile high school players in Texas. How has the recruiting process changed since you first became involved? It's speeded up dramatically. Ten years ago, kids were making decisions on what school they were going to go to in January of their senior year. In a lot of cases, it came down to those last three weeks of recruiting - everybody put off their visits to their top three school until the last three weeks of January, then made their choice. Today, a good percentage of the 2008 senior group has already made their verbal commitments, and the media is already talking about the 2009 class. How has dealing with parents changed since you broke into the business? When I first got into recruiting, back in the early '70s, I was a high school coach. My head coach said, 'OK, you played college football, you're in charge of recruiting.' Basically, you talked to the college coaches when they came in and filled out questionnaires. Parents weren't even involved at that point. Parents really didn't begin to become involved until the coaches actually made home visits and the kids came to campus. The biggest change to parent involvement has been the Internet. There's so much information out there, good and bad, true and false, parents can learn about the process - or at least what they perceive to be the process - much easier than ever before. Because of all these early commitments, there's a false perception out there with parents. They think if they don't get their kid on the radar screen and get colleges talking about him by the start of their junior year, there's no way that kid will get a scholarship. And that's just ludicrous. The bottom line in football recruiting is that the college coach has to see the high school kid play. And because of NCAA restrictions, 90 percent of that is done on video. Until a college coach gets to see a kid play, there's no decision to be made. If there was one NCAA rule regarding recruiting that you would change, what would that be and why? One thing the college coaches really need is a better avenue to evaluate players. As early as the recruiting process begins these days, one thing that has gone into reverse is the amount of time coaches get to spend evaluating players. I'm not necessarily talking about looking at them on tape and seeing how good they play, but just getting to know them. When college football players get into trouble and the coach says he didn't know the kid had a record, it's because they're recruiting them before they get to know them. And that's a huge change from 10 years ago. And also, since there's such an emphasis on committing early, kids are making decisions without ever getting to know college coaches. There are a lot of kids who make a verbal commitment who haven't ever stepped foot on that particular campus. As far as the Class of 2008 is concerned, who is the one player you think people who may not usually pay attention to high school football should keep an eye on? Robert Griffin, the quarterback from Copperas Cove. Here's a guy who is the nation's best high school hurdler, may be a future Olympian and led Copperas Cove to the state championship game last year. He's a sub-4.4 guy and he's really improving as a passer. If there's a guy out there who's maybe the next Vince Young-type guy, it may be Robert Griffin. He might be a better quarterback than anyone in this group. Riley Dodge is really good, but Robert last year was an athlete who played quarterback. People thought he should be a wide receiver - and that's the same kind of talk you were hearing about Vince Young and Reggie McNeal five or six years ago. He's still uncommitted, but if he puts it all together this season from a passing standpoint, he could be a national recruit, instead of one who would otherwise just get interest on a regional basis. You mentioned Riley Dodge of Southlake Carroll. What do think his chances for success will be at the next level when he plays for his father Todd next season at North Texas? I think there terrific. First of all, he's going to play for the best quarterback coach in the state. He's already got a great relationship, we hope, with his new college coach. And he knows the offense. I just think that's a great move for Riley because he wants to be a quarterback. If he went to Texas he wasn't going to be one for a long time, and he knew that. But gosh, to have a chance to play for your Dad - who just happens to be a hell of a coach - in a program where they're starting over ä I could see him lighting it up the next three or four years at North Texas.

Tulsa wins National Conference Championship, 67-47 The Tulsa Talons were crowned National Conference champions for the second time in team history on Saturday night with a 67-47 victory over the Bossier-Shreveport Battle Wings. The Talons were the first to put points on the board with a 6-yard TD run by Jermaine Landrum. Both teams played a tough defensive game, keeping the score in the single digits going into the second quarter. Penalties plagued the second quarter, as both teams battled to stay on top. Tulsa's Jeff Hughley caught a 10-yard TD pass by QB Justin Allgood, but Bossier's Jamaal Perry answered back with a 13-yard TD pass from Quincy Carter. The Allgood to Hughley combo struck again with a 17-yard TD connection. After trading scores, Bossier-Shreveport got the last score of the half making the score 27-25 Talons. Just as the first half ended the second half began; with a Battle Wings score to put the team ahead, 32-27. After another Bossier-Shreveport TD, the Talons scored three unanswered touchdowns. This was the beginning of the end for the Battle Wings. The fourth quarter started with a 37-yard interception return by Tulsa's Don McGee. Bossier-Shreveport battled back to get on top with an accidental drop kick by Brian Hazelwood, giving the Wings two points instead of one, making the score 47-46 Battle Wings. The Talons closed the game with three unanswered TDs, two of which came from U.S. Army Ironman Player of the Game Jeff Hughley. The Talons travel to Bossier City, La. this week to take on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers for the ArenaCup Championship on Saturday, August 25.

NT03, I was thinking the same thing.

When did he say that????? He said the starter would not have to look over his shoulder in the game. But a change was possible if the QB wasn't gettng the job done.

Recruits Sam Dibrell & J.J. Johnson received some major air time talking about playing at NT on FSSW High School Spotlight. It will replay on Monday at 2:30 p.m. Just another thing that Todd Dodge has brought to the university, POSSITIVE PUBLICITY.

Technically Yes, really no. They made the NO Bowl in 2005 when the game was in Lafayette. http://www.neworleansbowl.org/ed/bookshow.pl

Edinburg High coach Robert Vela dies

I'm sure I don' need to defend G Money, but it was a Joke. Everybody is too close to blowing up over silly $hit. The Mean Green Nation needs to be strong and we're a helluva lot stronger when we're together rather than bickering like whiny reporters.

GMG1999, You are not a defeatist, you are a realist. King DL, I have a pair of nuts. Would you like to check? (Sorry, that sounded too much like Quoner or TTG). I want to beat Zero u badly. But as I stated in another thread, they just have more talent than NT. Can NT beat OU or Arkansas? YES Should we be 40.5 point dogs to OU? YES Is an upset possible? YES Is it probable? NO Will the performance against OU affect how I feel about the season or keep me away from future games? F NO I try and take off my green tinted glasses when we are playing nationally ranked teams. It allows me to see things much clearer.

Not this topic again!

No, NT will get hammered by zero-u because they have more talent and should hammer NT. BV is just reporting the facts. OU has more 4 & 5 star recruits on this years roster than NT has ever signed. Do You and I want NT to get hammered by OU, F no, but because we don't want it to happen doesn't mean it won't. And because Vito says that OU will pound NT does not make it so either. He is giving his opinion based on what has happened before and the talent he sees. With that said, can we pull the upset? Yes and I hipe we do. But win or lose, I will be at Ford Stadium to watch us play SMU.

Hey, I resemble that remark. Take it easy on Brett Vito, he's just trying to do his job. Remember it's "some second rate sports writer" that keeps you as informed as you are.

As the Patriarch of THE SIMPSON'S would say Doh!

I hope that is a joke!

Some sign to play for a certain coach, others sign because they like the school. Ultimately they represent the University, so I guess the University. The only academic promise that should be made is that you can major in X and you will get a quality education paid for while you are eligible to play. Anything else is on the coach and should come out of his pocket. I'm tired of NT paying for kids schooling for 2 years when they've got nothing out of them on the field (ex: TJ Raymond).
