GMT = Good Morning Texas.

Interview is over, but I believe TD will be on Hanson tonight. It was a great interview by Gary. Finally an interview without a but or a disparaging remark. Coach Dodge and Gary Cogill talked about the program right now, recruiting the area, change of offensive and defensive philosophy, missing Riley and SLC team, schedule, time away from family and getting ready for home opener at OU. TD also mentioned the need for fans and alumni to come out and support the program. Gary finished by giving out the schedule for the first 3 weeks of the season.

The interview was done via satellite link from outside the practice fields.

TD will be on shortly with Gary Cogill.

I was looking around to see if I could find the footage of that interview and couldn't. If anyone could post it would be appreciated.

I did find a snipit from the Dodge DVD that I don't think has been posted before. watch it here:

Point of clarification. It's a microwave signal, not a satellite. Much cheaper.

I wonder if the station will put it on line...

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEAT THE HELL OUT OF OU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:angry: One more thing, they showed one play from practice (taped), it happened to be a trick play! :angry:

I think that was shown on purpose...a little taste of Dodgeball-offense to get viewers (and zero-U) thinking how fun it's going to be to watch! Give them a taste, make them want to see more..... B)

I saw the interview. Now don't shoot me but..... I though TD was a little cautious when talking about the OU game. Something about we'll play our best, give a good effort. Not the OU better watch out because hell's comin' with us I was expecting. Do I have too high of expectations? :blink:

You won't hear that from many coaches, except maybe Jerry Glanville or Barry Switzer. Dodge will have the team prepared. I don't expect any 56-7 scores this year.

You've gotta be s*&tin me, right :blink: ?

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not.

If a tv station is going to use it's satellite truck, they need to be WAY outside their broadcast area. Denton is close enough for a live truck to hit a microwave receive site, of which WFAA probably has about 20 throughout the Metroplex.

If I missed your sarcasm, sorry. I'm dragging ass this morning.

Ive got news for ya, with the offense that Dodge employes we could put on a better show and be a better football team then Dickey had, but may see a score much worse then 56-7.

Then again we could see a much closer game as well, but when you throw the ball around you have a tendency to stop the clock witch makes the game longer and gives the better team more of a chance to put a game away.

ding ding. They were probably better than their 11-3 record last year, and they get a lot of that team back. IIRC they are returning 10 starters on the defensive side.

Here's hoping it doesn't come to that.

In bowl predictions I am seeing USC and OU in the championship game. There is a possibility we will be playing the best, if not the second best team in the country that day.

Not necessarily. I won't say which station it was, but I've seen a scenario where they roll a satellite truck up in their own parking lot, and broadcast from there. They could use a sat. just about anywhere in the DFW area just to justify the cost of the truck/sat time/labor. Sometimes it's easier to hit a sat. than trying to tune in a crappy microwave signal that's bouncing off of clutter.

Coach Dodge

....In the big picture of coaching, ...we're here for the kids......

.............It's gotta be more than X's and O's, it's gotta be more than blocking and tacklin', passin' and catchin'...

.........I do believe we are part of the process of raising children,...by being part of our program I hope that it will

help them be a better father some day, a better husband someday and a better worker......

....Off the field you should be the ultimate gentleman, and on the field you should be the ultimate competitor...

Is it ever more obvious that we have hired more than just a head football coach?

Thank you RV and Dr. Battaille.

Rick

      Just for fun

      So, I was thinking. There’s a high probability Chandler is going to get poached next year, unfortunately, so I wanted to see your prediction on who our qb will be next year. Just because it’s an off week and this is all in fun, my ideal scenario is to keep Morris.(both of them) plus, if one of us turns out to be right we get bragging rights!! lol That being said, I could see a certain former Guyer qb, that has recently lost his starting job, come back home and spend a season with the new qb whisperer!! That’s right, Jackson Arnold. predict away! cheers fellas!!

      Thursday/Friday FBS/FCS Games - 10/3 and 10/4

      Houston started to look like Fritz ball tonight. Cougar now has 2 wins. Raise a toast CQ and savor the evening. Good win over Sonny. Fort Worth looks bored directionless. GMG

      The Answer is Marketing....

      We all love Grant. Think it was a typo. Tough name for GM and auto correct. I don’t know about the dormant alumni. They seem like lost causes to me. A buddy last weekend who never goes to a UNT game though a grad, was happy to send me pics from smu where he went to see his beloved Noles. No connection to FSU but he was there. He doesn’t disparage UNT but doesn’t care either. And the silly alums on sports radio apologize for speaking about UNT or giving an update about a G5 team. Spineless. Go after the young families moving into Denton. Make it the Mean Green Village Fairgrounds for 7 Saturdays a year with different themes. October fest, funnel cake fan fest, food drive game in November, summer sizzling barbecue bonanza for a September game. Have a Mariachi Mean Green crew like they do at Texas Rangers. The mariachis on mariachi Monday walk around the concourse in their Ranger red outfits smiling taking pictures with fans. Then they play a few sets on the big screen and boom you get a unique group of peeps you look forward to seeing. The coolest thing this season was all their close ups of their championship rings as they strung their instruments. Could be a nice link to our Denton Hispanic community. Do some fun things the community would come out to and get them into the stadium. Jared is doing some creative things this season. Like Oktoberfest and tickets and tee promotion. Sellout game push and more to come for November. Keep creating interesting unique and different because UNT definitely is creative unique and interesting. GMG

      Portland Watching Party?

      I don’t think you’re going to feel in danger or anything. I go out most evenings when I’m there. It just isn’t that lively since so much has been shuttered. If the weather is nice, though, it might be livelier than I’m thinking and I’m told the city has been taking an effort the last few months to clean up the sidewalks. The area around Powell’s books (which you definitely should go to) is usually pretty busy and touristy. There are several really good brewpubs nearby and a dive bar or two. Feel free to DM me if you want any recommendations.
