Very disappointing news. He was a good one and will be missed. You wonder what the ramifications are to Gio who was his teammate at Alamo Heights and good friend.

Just awful.

Things are so bad, they're almost past painful and into funny. I don't think you could write a bad news bears movie that's this absurd.

Now all we need is a troubled, "wrong side of the tracks," mentally challenged (perhaps disabled) athlete to show up at practice one day. Then, we can start an 8 game winning streak culminating in a bowl victory. Come on... you'd buy that movie, right?

Well, I don't think Gio would have come here had it not been for Dibrell. As I remember it, Gio accompanied him on a recruiting visit, more or less helping a friend.

It's a big loss from a production standpoint, and there's something troubling about this on a much deeper level.

as much as were going to miss his production...i dont want a player on the team who doesnt wanna be here...sorry to see him go but its his choice and if he really doesnt wanna be here then better to leave and give the scholly to someone who wants to be here!

I always hate to see good players leave, but the ONLY way this coach and his staff get this thing turn around is to get the people out of the program who don't want to be here for any reason. I mean everyone. If that means Casey and Gio (not that I think that is the case) then SO BE IT.

...Dodge is right. The entire team and staff must buy-in and believe in the program for it to have a chance of working. ...it may, in the end, not work. ...but the only chance it has is to have guys who want to be involved and complete buy-in. This season is no longer about winning, its about developing this group of people into a TEAM who trust and depend on each other. Without this base, all the added talent, added speed and new schemes in the world won't do us a single bit of good.

I wish Dibrell saw it differently, but if he really doesn't want to be here, I am glad he's gone and I think we all thank him for what he did for the program and wish him well in the future.

      WBB vs. Rice

      Yes CC Kid .. I noticed the same. Great effort - mostly in 2nd half. Slow starts have hurt. We can rule out a couple games, but this does seem to be fairly common. And you can see the diff. when it happens. just look a the NT vs Memphis mens game .. intense from the start and entire game focus affected. But hey, the teamsare doing really well this year !!

      PAC is back

      I grew up with "Eagles" and have never liked " Mean Green ", because we are not mean [look at our football record ] and not green [ we have an underfunded athletic department.] I agree with lack of media contracts as a deal breaker but don't know if we would want the travel required for all sports anyway. The BIG MOUNTAIN WEST podcast brought the subject up stating that the PAC and Texas State were in serious discussions and if they came then UNT or UTSA would be their next logical target so you may want to watch it. I don't have an opinion as I am really surprised that NIU joined the MWC for football only. According to the MAC bylaws you must have all your programs in the conference in order to be a member. Unless they change them then NIL's best option appears to be the MVC for all other sports but who knows.

      Nice Article: Maintaining Success

      as a lot of big time coaches have said... if you want to immediately improve your team, getting everyone's effort levels up will do that... Since McCasland started his run, the Mean Green have been all about effort, and Hodge has done an excellent job of transitioning into the HC role. It's been talked about ad nauseum, but the Mean Green have an identity. The identity is f*ck you, you aren't going to get easy passes, be able to breathe with the ball in your hands and you're going to be complaining to the refs all game about how physical the team is. It's going to be ugly, and we are betting that we are going to be better than you in the last five minutes of the game. Credit to Hodge for bringing in the right players to keep this thing moving forward. I am looking forward to the rest of the season and hoping for some hardware

      SMU 's New Facility

      the facilities look great. Unfortunately, unless things change around Denton quickly, the reality is that SMU is playing a completely different game than the Mean Green, good luck to you, but i don't know why you are coming on here to post topics of a team you probably won't play again for a long time... (maybe basketball) Good luck to you.
