Dodge In Se Texas

[DeepGreen]

This is taken from Bob West's Sports Column Sunday Jan. 21, 2007.

"One of the things Todd Dodge will have to contend with at the University of North Texas is the oversheduling schools in the Division 1-A second tier have to do to survive financially. Dodge’s first game as head coach at UNT will be at Oklahoma. The Mean Green also play at Arkansas. Dodge, by the way, will be a guest on my Sportsrap radio show this week as it returns to Monday nights at 8:05 on KLVI (560-AM). "

Not much news here, except that TD will be in the Golden Triangle recruiting. The bad news is that I'll be in Houston Monday and unable to hear West's interview with Dodge on Sportsrap. Island Eagle or Kingwood Green, can either of you pick up 560AM out of Beaumont? It might be worth a try just to hear what TD has to say.

Thanks EPE. With that link I guess everyone can listen to the interview on the internet.

Thanks for posting it, Deep. I'll have to listen. Although 560 is weaker at night than during the day, I think you'll still be able to pick it up most everywhere in Houston. If not, hopefully you have internet access.

Todd Dodge will be on Bob West's Sportsrap tonight arount 9:05. You can catch the show at www.klvi.com. Should be an interesting show, maybe some recruiting info.

He also said that there would be a game against a MAC opponent that will be named shortly. Couldn't say much about recruiting, but the radio guy seemed to have some inside knowledge of a "big" recruit that UNT was close to getting, but no names were mentioned. Coach Dodge also dropped a few coaches names in the Triangle area, I'm sure earning him a few points with them.

Other items of interest from Dodge -

-Will sign 20 players - 11 offensive, 9 defensive

-Will sign one QB in this class

West commented that he knows of at least one player from SE Texas that will sign with NT. Not sure if that is any of the Lufkin players, or the RB from Nederland. Also, talking about the four QB's we already have, he will "coach the the guys up".

West also admitted that he, like many of his listeners, will certainly take more notice of the Mean Green program.

In regards to TD, I'm not sure if we could have bought more press for our program had we hired the ghost of Vince Lombardi?

Micah mosely commited, that is what they are saying. A t the end of the show after Dodge had left, a guy called in and said he was friends with Micah's dad, and they he and Micah were trying to call in to the show, but couldn't get through. He is a RB from Nederland.
