That's always quite an elite group....the Parade All Americans.

Anyway, the reason I ask, is that Riley Dodge was named to the Parade All American team.

Congrats Riley. That's great news. Doesn't Rivals give the class bonus points for that :P? I noticed we are currently one spot ahead of Troy for the team rankings.

Riley is really named Todd Dodge Jr.

Junior is the most decorated recruit in UNT history. Riley may or may not red shirt but he definitely has Papa Todd, Todd Ford, and now graduate assistant, Chase Wasson, all with SLC connection.

I like Harry or Evan's comment on the QB battle. Vizza will not only want to take the challenge on the field but a kid who would like to handle it also behind the woodshed. That comment was awesome and fits personality of the Stallion who plays with an attitude.

I know playing for your Dad at this level has to be difficult to say the least and will be scruntinized by the team, big time. Makes for a great debate and a great story line.

Wouldn't you like to see those kids doing old fashion mat drills? That would be awesome.

Back in 1977 Blooming Grove, Texas, RB Milton Collins was considered the #1 recruit in the Lone Star State by most of the media as I recall. There were no Rivals or recruiting publications such as we have today although Dave Campbell had his blue chip listings of Texas HS football's better recruits and he always had his 1'st & 2'nd Super Team in his annual giant summer edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football.

It was a snowy February day when (then) Mean Green Coach Hayden Fry drove out to Blooming Grove, Texas, to sign Collins abeit NCAA rules said no coach could be in any photo opps. TV cameras covered the signing although (again) Coach Fry was not allowed in the video coverage.

Sadly for Milton Collins & all Mean Green fans, he just did not pan out as a college RB.

I'd venture a guess that all Mean Green fans everywhere are very, very excited about Riley Dodge joining his dad in Denton. It is the hope of the Mean Green Nation that he breaks all of, uh, QB Vizza's records :rolleyes: but how darn lucky for all of us in Mean Green Country that we will have both in camp this August.

Congrats Riley Dodge on your Parade All American selection! We are Mean Green Proud of you!

GMG!

All this press for Dodge makes my home boy #15 work his ass off. Riley is a competitor but Gio is a mean SOB that will kill you with his work ethic and talent. Gio will never, and I mean never, back off on this deal. This kind of stuff fuels the fire.

And that is what you just have to love about Giovanni. I learned quickly last season that you are always going to get 110% with him. Sometimes his competiveness scares the hell out of you though, with some of the shots he takes trying to make something happen.

NT has never been this QB rich since I became a fan 22 years ago. We have two young men that have intelligence, competitiveness and terrific work ethics at the most important position on the field.

I certainly hope we can keep both these young men around for their entire college careers. They are both very special.

So is Riley being recruited as an Athlete or as a QB???

That is why I love "The Don" and predict Riley will redshirt and not start until his Jr. year. Riley could actually be plugged in at another position and contribute if Todge wants to take that risk.

Nautique, while I love the Rodge committment and his ability, you might tap the brakes a little on the ordaining Rodge as NT's most decorated recruit ever.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
