Dodge's Morning Press Conference

Interesting comments, "learning how to win."

I wonder how all the kids who have won state champions from SLC and some of the other programs feel about those comments.

Just find them interesting. Maybe on defense, a kid like Penson can bring the "close out" attitude, after all, Lufkin only lost a few games every year. The kids form Colleyville won many a game, BJ Lewis got to the State championship game and so did Vizza and Dibrell.

Maybe we need to get some winners on the field for some more reps.

Is learning vs. willing themselves, two different things? Speaking from my own perspective, I believe we have some winners but they need to get on the field.

Perhaps he was referring to the need to finish, which is not just an attitude; it's a skill set. So I wouldn't read a lot of psychoanalysis into his words.

Perhaps he meant learning how to win "on the college level"? Sorta like learning how to play at the college level.

I'll assume he is talking about the younger players, since 10 starters on the team have New Orleans Bowl and Sun Belt championship rings. They know what it takes to get there.

Hooray! It's starting to sink in with some people!

This is college, that was high school.

He's the deal - many college games are won in July, during conditioning. We've lost two in the fourth quarter so far. So....

They knew how to get there. With the last couple of years, along with the new players, I can see him saying that in regards to the whole team learning to "win together". It is just a matter of time though until this team starts to win, and once it does, look out.
