Meager will surprise alot of us this year. Give the young man a break. He just went from two years of Flanigan to Dodge....kind of like dumping Roseanne Barr for Heidi Klum!

I am guessing Vito will no longer be in the loop on getting information from Dodge unless he wanted this information to be leaked after stating last week he was waiting until Week 1. Well lets hope DM has perfected the shot gun snap by now. ;)

I am very happy for Daniel Meagar, and for Coach Dodge making

a difficult decision. The team has what, 2 weeks to prepare for

a tough opening game with zero-u. I am sure there are several

more positions where a starter will be named soon. This team

must begin practicing with the "starters" daily to be running on

the same page, tune up the offensive system, and for the

"starters' to gel together.

I also believe the "G-man" will be getting ready to play too. If

he is the back-up, he is just one play away from starting, or taking

over in a game.

Now, Coach Dodge can put together the remaining starters

for the OL and WR's.

For the defense, I think there are more questions to be answered

regarding starters and back up's. I hope this puzzle can be solved

quickly also.

The decision makes sense to me, for reasons I posted a few days ago. And for all we know, DM may have reverted to the form he had in HS that made him so highly regarded. He may have been able to do that in a system that gave him what he needed to progress. I trust TD's judgment.

Well, not to take a shot at Dickey ... ok .. I will make one.

I am just happy that Dodge made a damn decision and we don't have the first 6 games to "see which one steps up and takes the job." That didn't ever work out for Dickey in the 8 years he tried it.

Daniel has gotten the nod from the man Mack Brown recently described as the best QB coach in Texas. He didn't say the best mid-major QB coach, or the best high school QB coach, but the best QB coach in Texas.

That's all the endorsement anyone should need.

Wha? Put down the pipe...

cool did not check the athletic site. Guess the staff can not make up their minds if they want public to know or not know what is going on with the football team. Oh well time to get ready for zero-U

I'm pleased with this decision for purely football reasons and certainly not because I just got through making a Daniel Meager computer wallpaper (in eight sizes), avatar, and cell phone wallpaper (in seven sizes).

“I am excited about the opportunity to lead this offense as we get ready to start the season,” Meager said. “I know that the competition is not over and I still have to go out there and perform, but it is nice knowing that Coach Dodge has the confidence that I can go out there and get the job done.”

This is not highlighted to be negative, and anyone that knows me knows I am a Meager fan, BUT I don't think we have seen the last of Giovanni Vizza... this season

Lets go MEAN GREEN!

Congrats to DM. I suspect that he'll show a little more poise back in the pocket when he (hopefully) doesn't have twenty guys bullrushing the backfield this year. We also might benefit by the fact that he and the returning receivers are more familiar with each others movements than they are at this point with GV. Don't want a two QB system by any means, but I hope we are able to get a pretty good look at GV this year as a backup. Without injury of course!

Well, there goes our surprise advantage over Ou. I'm sure the Ou coaches are now scrambling trying to find some DM game tape to change their whole defense with. Seriously, I think this was the safe selection. As first backup, Vizza still needs to get into the game to get some experience. You don't want him forced into a game without having some exposure. I say both will play.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Here’s the thing, I don’t think even you believe they would have lost the way SMU did. Penn State won by 28, but they could have made it more…SMU was NEVER in that game competitively…and they never should have been in it at all. They dodged the only two “decent” teams in a VERY weak ACC during the regular season and lost anytime they played a decent team.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Look, as for SMU….they’re 30 minutes down the road. You can say “why are we talking about them” they’re in the top 12 playoff. We have to get over it. We’re college football fans. Of course SMU being in the playoff is going to be discussed. But as for their performance….it was expected. They got super lucky with their schedule this year. Just like Indiana. If you plugged Memphis or Tulane in their spot, they would’ve done the same thing. Their QB is no better than most QBs we faced in the AAC this year. Our QB was as good as him. That’s just the truth. so they were a really good AAC team this year that got a super lucky schedule in a bad conference. I don’t hold anything against them for that. BUT We can’t really discuss them for much longer because the current college landscape is set up to make them a national powerhouse. They have a good coach. He is. And he got them in the national discussion. And they can take that with their money and go on an unbelievable run. Their QB won’t be here next year. Of course he won’t. They’ll pay a better one. Their NIL will dwarf every team in the ACC. I would bet their NIL will be top 10 in the country. Maybe top 5. They’ll have more $$ available than Bama. Arguably UT. What do they need? 4 star DE? 3 top OL? QB? 2 WR? There’s no cap to what they can pay. So we have to move on from SMU. They will be in the playoff a lot. So of course we’ll talk about them because they’ll be in the playoff. But we have to get over it. Are they scum bags? Yes. Of course. They have too much money and they will win. The landscape has changed. And they will succeed because they can pay. We have to hope we break off and do our own thing

      My post was sarcasm. Not only would they have to install a new system, but as I said, they would have get to know the players as well. It’s ridiculous to think it should be done or even could be done.
