Meager

[OldTimer]

Evidently I ruffled some feelings when I made the statement in a post that Meager was a red shirted freshman in 2005 instead of a true freshman as Vizza was this year and compared the pics of each in their first year of playing for NT..(which I compared because of the prior postings mentioning the # of pics Vizza had this year).

In all fairness I would like to include the following information which has been pointed out to me:

He had surgery in the spring and had to start playing after 3 months rehab. He should have taken a medical red shirt but was asked by the coaches to play.

He completed 63.3 % of his passes this year ..................vs 58.2 % by Vizza.

He was the "starting" QB this year....but lost out to Vizza....which may have been because he was a Sr. and would not be back vs Vizza being a freshmen was the future having 4 years to play and getting the experience.

I did mention that Meager has handled the situation this year like a man.

I thought Meager was a Jr this season?

[NCMeanGreen]

Is Meager not back for another season???

I thought Meager was a Jr this season?

You are correct, he is a Junior this year and will be a Sr. next year..........my mistake

I hope Meager will transfer somewhere he can start. I think he's a good QB, not great, but better than to be sitting for a whole season and a half.

Meager did RS

I hope he stays with his friends at UNT. Gets his education and has a happy life after graduation.

I think one more year of football starting and delaying his life one more year isn't worth it in the grand scheme. Just my humble opinion.

I had posted earlier that I hoped he was close enough to getting his degree that he could graduate this Spring (or Summer) and go on about his life. Standing around holding a clipboard for one more year would not excite me at all. Does anyone know how close he is to graduating?

Meager had a very good year. while I didn't have a problem with elevating Vizza, I don't think the record would have been any difference with Meager starting the entire season. Vizza was the underclassman, and thus had the edge because of potential benefit to the program; but I don't think that Vizza outplayed Meager this year.

I would hate to lose Meager, despite his many IMO unfair critics' view, has always played hard and handled himself well. I hope he is here next year and provides very good insurance if there is an injury to Vizza. I hope Dodge is redshirted.

Why would he leave? Whats so bad about being 2nd string? All it takes is an injury to Vizza and he is back in.

So all of you that want Meager to leave let me ask you a question?

What happens if Vizza gets hurt next year?

R. Dodge - never had a college snap - not to mention you would have to burn his redshirt more than likely

N. Tune - As far as I know he's never had a college snap either (if he has it's only a handful and was in mop-up duty - OU maybe?)

M. Phillips - Not to bad, does have experience, but there was a reason he was fourth string this year

God help us if Meager leaves and Vizza has to leave the game for some reason.
