Meagers future at UNT clouded

DENTON – The status of sophomore quarterback Daniel Meager is in doubt after the former Richardson Pearce standout suffered a concussion in a loss to Troy last week.

UNT head coach Darrell Dickey said Meager has had at least three concussions at UNT, including one in two-a-days that kept him out the first two weeks of the season.

Meager was also knocked out of the Mean Green's loss to Florida Atlantic last season with a concussion.

Well, at least that explains why they put WW in the game. My primary concern is Meager's health. I wish him all the best and hope that he has a speedy recovery.

The young man should look into securing his health first. That's way too many concussions in less than a year. It may be in his best interest to give up football. Too many injuries for him, it has to be frustrating.

I give Daniel Meager my very best wishes. 3 concussions is alot. I hope that the doctors help him make the right decision about footbal (I don't know what that decision should be). BTW, I can't imagine how frustrated he is. He appeared to be on his way to a comeback return to the starting QB role after a summer of very hard work. What a strange season this has been.

I hope he hangs it up and takes his health with him.

Or at the very least, I hope he takes the 3rd QB spot and finishes his career at UNT. Get the free education and only play if he REALLY is needed. His future is bright and he needs to keep his health..

I applaud Meager for obviously having thick skin and continuing to work to overcome numerous injuries, but concussions are not to be discounted. His health is much more important at this time. I wish him the best, because he appears to be a fine young man.

I like Daniel, but he and his family need to decide together if it is worth long-ter, negative effects on his health, especially when he has NO Division 1-A offensive lineman to play behind.

      Good company to be in. Now we just have to keep winning.

      Any Word on DC Candidates?

      It helps to have the incredible discipline mindset required at WP. Having an option offense on the other side of the ball ain't hurting either. Not a deal breaker. Just offering some perspective.

      Its been a few months but from what I remember the UNLV athletic department was about $20 million in the hole and could not afford to buy out of the MWC. The MWC then threw that much at UNLV to keep them in the conference where they shall remain.

      Where are they now?

      Cal's best win is probably the WK2 game over Auburn. Not sure what their dumbest loss is. I think there are a couple candidates.

      Those wins numbers are meaningless until you factor out wins against FCS and lower*. (I believe FBS can schedule a D2 team but I am unaware if a match up of FBS vs D2 occurred this season). I believe the new Pac 12 will be thought of as better than MWC leftovers. And UNLV will eventually leave the MWC also. And referencing 6 wins when by default you can schedule 2 (most only do 1 but still) virtually guaranteed wins against FCS and lower is just not an accurate way to assess a conference’s strength. Head to Head in non-conference is the only way imo. But perception when there are not that many games is the one that matters. Because that is what will keep a 1 loss Army team out of the playoffs. Army’s blowout loss to Norte Dame looks worse than Boise’s to Oregon. But they struggled more recently to beat a bad Wyoming team 17-13 while we blew them out 44-17. Boise all had a close call to a bad Nevada team 28-21. Both of these games were in November. Your perception is just as valid as anyone else’s but the majority of power brokers will still probably view AAC as behind the new Pac 12. And it won’t even be close if the Pac gets UNLV while retaining everyone else they took from MWC.
