Riley Dodge

their argument still stands. On one hand, we're coming off the past two seasons, we're not BCS, so - yes - we're in no position to turn away players. Heck, NEVER turn away players. More QBs for the pickin', sure. But to say that we NEED Riley is premature. That implies that UNT is going to fail without him.
I just don't believe that.

How about this:

Riley = Winner

UNT needs winners

therefore

UNT needs Riley.

I also seem not to care. It would be a great story and all that, but if Vizza is the real deal will Riley play WR or go somewhere else.

Vizza is the next Drew Brees subsequently, he has been appointed the next four year starter for Eagles. Riley may not be able to unseat Vizza so he best look elsewhere for the QB position. Can he play DB or Slot Rcvr maybe? Bet he wants to continue down QB path. Will be interesting for sure!

Why?
Once Danny Meager leads us to a conference championship in 2007. everything will be fine. We've got Vizza, who will redshirt and then take over for Meager as a sophomore.

Hahaha.....Meager is terrible!

He's the worst QB on the team......

This thread has deteriorated so very quickly. There's one poster who doesn't understand quarterbacks, and another who doesn't know what the Football team is called (unless Vizza was drafted by Philly).

OK, not meaning to get technical here, but UNT actually is a BCS school; we're just not in one of the Big 6 BCS conferences. Boise State beat OU in a BCS Championship Series bowl game. BSU is a BCS school that beat another BCS school. Many of us feel UNT can emulate BSU and will beat some BCS Big 6 conference foe in a BCS Championship Series bowl someday in the future now that we've figured out that there is a NCAA D1-A life beyond they SBC/Bottom 25.

You know, most of you still don't know the feeling of euphoria of walking around the NT campus knowing that your school on the previous Game Day Saturday had beaten the University of Tennessee Volunteers (as we did before most of you were not even gleams in your dad's eyes); but trust me when I say this: Once you've had that taste of big time football success (briefly as it would turn out to be), you never forget it and you want your alma mater to duplicate such wins (that would continue to create such feelings among our alums and NT students). With Todd Dodge, we probably have the best chance for this to happen at UNT for the first time since the Fry era. As another poster posted the other day: Lets not blow this golden opportunity.

Probably the biggest barometer that most of our sports media critics (such as those on The Ticket among others) will be looking at in Todd Dodge's inaugural season is not so much how many wins and losses he gets with a football team that he inherited from DD, but rather how many new fans/new faces come to Fouts Field to watch Dodge Ball. This is what the regional media will probably use as their own barometer as to how much coverage they will decide to give Mean Green football in the print and broadcast media this next Fall; so like Silver Eagle posted yesterday: It's time for all to step up to the plate (and buying season tickets or even buying them on Game Day will be that first big step to the plate).

Undoubtedly, the ones who need to read all this "stepping up to the plate" business are the ones not reading this board, so who might we as NT Exes/Mean Green fans need to also step up to the plate more than ever to make sure that this new Dodge Ball era receives "lights out" promotions?

FUTURE HEADLINE:

RILEY DODGE TO BE COACHED BY HIS DAD ONCE AGAIN IN MEAN GREEN COUNTRY!

I'd take Riley Dodge. Don't care if he kicks or just holds the ball during a kick, that's added talent for the team. I also don't care who QBs for the team because all of our current QBs shows potential. I just want them to win, really.

That is amazing. I want this.
