Has he really ever played for us anyway? Seems we have other pretty decent DB's to play...I do not see how this hurts us, other than it does seem like a lot of players have left this program since Dodge has arrived. May be nothing (normal), though...

It never shocks me really when players that come here after transferring from another school, leave.

Greg hasn't played for us...at all. He sat out last year after transferring from The Naval Academy.

It's a shame...we had two really good transfers and neither one will be playing for us: Fentriss (career ending injury) and Garden (left the team).

former UNT assistant coach Thomas Dunson is now on the staff at Utah State as a graduate assistant coach. Dunson is working with USU's defensive line alongside former UNT head coach Darrell Dickey, who is USU's offensive coordinator.

Wasn't Dunson related to someone around here?

How's that?

APR is calculated based on the eligibility, retention and graduation of scholarship athletes. This determines the overall APR score, if it is not 925 or above; the school is subject to penalties. If a school has a score less than 925, than losing scholarship athletes due to academically ineligibility can subject schools to penalties up to 10% of maximum scholarships.

Thus losing athletes that are in good academic standings will reduce NT APR scores and the likelihood that NT will get above the penalty threshold. However, if NT does not score at least 925, the lost of academic eligible players will not further decrease scholarships limits.

Understood, but losing academically eligible players is not what got us in to this situation in the first place, losing uneligible players did. Garden, it appears, is a good student and was in good standing.

I would think that Garden looked at the numbers and wondered where playing time was going to come from. There are roughly 15 or 16 DB's on the roster with TD bringing in quite a few with his first few recruiting classes. I know it is not popular, but I would assume that TD has a better feel for these players than the ones he inherited. Doesn't make it right or make him popular, but I understand his position too. Coaching is all about winning, and I would think that you would want to take the field with the players you recruited for your system.

Did Dickey recruit Garden?

They would tell you, but then they would have to kill you.

Seriously, I've been on for 5 years and I don't know how to get to the recruiting site either. I think there was some kind of sign up once, but it didn't work when I tried.

      🙄 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.
