Hopefully he's teaching them how to be great transferers.

[Hunter Green]

Well, good for him.

You should buy him an ice cream cone.

Or great quitters

"OK men.  When you're given a great opportunity to start as a freshman, here's how you quit.  Or, let your daddy do it for you." 

Beat UTSA. 

GO MEAN GREEN

I wonder if he still likes rolling around town, zig-zagging through traffic listening to Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band?

If Vizza hadn't left when he did, he'd be another concussion looking for a place to happen.  Our o-line was so bad I don't blame anyone that had to line up behind them for leaving.  It seems as if Riley had to leave here on a gurney.  The quarterback during that era was designated tackling dummy.

I don't like quitters either but to stay under those circumstances is idiotic.

"Look Dalton, I've lived this before... It's only a matter of time before Coach Wilson brings his son here, and when he does, it's not going to be fair.  He's going to say you're still the starter because you're the superior QB.  Heck, coach will even put his son at WR, but you'll be in constant paranoia because he's going to take your job... You just know it.  So, you gotta quit now dude."

The thing that put it over the top was his father for me.

No ill will towards him or his family at all.  What Dodge did to him, and the poor way Dodge handled it bothers me a lot though.

He did have some highlights while he was here although he went down in a blaze of glory, getting blitzed and all. He got lit up a lot while he was here, especially between the hashishes, I mean tackles. Todd Dodge had a recipe but ol' Vizza just wasn't doing the baking that Dodge wanted. I don't know if he should be stoned for leaving the way he did, but he certainly has San Antonio roots, like a potted plant, so I get why he spends his daze down there.

Nice ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He is a former letterman and an alumni.  He came in and played his butt off for us for two seasons and won conference freshman of the year honors.  If you think Mason Fine had a hard time standing behind a line that let FLORIDA sacked him seven times, remember Vizza had a line that let TROY sack him 9 times.  

Let's be a little classy.

He's an alumni?  He graduated from NT?

An alumnus is someone who has graduated from or attended a school.  SRC: Merriam-Webster

[drex]

He gave it the old college try....his linemen did not.  Best wishes to him.

[Cr1028]

He is also an alumnus of TAMU. I wonder which he claims.

Many years ago, I met a guy at work who saw me in NT gear and said he was an alumnus. I asked when he graduated and he said he only attended the first semester of his freshman year. I had to go look up the definition of alumnus and sure as $hit this is exactly what it said. It made me wonder how many Shorthorn & aTm fans were one hit wonders? 

[Cr1028]

Riley was better than Vizza. Better qbr, more rush yards, fewer sacks. Just plain better except for the arm strength problem from high school.

[MeanGreenZen]

Vizza is still the best QB we have had since Scott Hall. 

He is a quitter though.

Exactly!  It's like the media and whorn alumni saying Jordan Spieth is a UT Alum.  No.  He attended UT and played golf for UT for two years but he did not get his degree from UT.  And who was the basketball wizard at UT that played one year then went pro.  No more a UT alum than I am.  I have this argument with my UT brother all the time.

Vizza is not an Alum of The University of North Texas.
