It appears that Dixon signed with Grambling and then transferred to Central Oklahoma?

It states on the bio that he played 1 season at Navarro. Makes me wonder if he ever went to Grambling.

So how much eligibility does he have remaining? He came out of high school in '06, so I assume '06 was his freshman year at Navarro. Then he played _(up to 3)__ years at Central Oklahoma, although '08 shows as his sophomore year. So is this his last year of eligibility, or does he have one remaining?

At any rate, welcome DeMario!

This is just speculation on my part.....but from reading his credentials....did we "add" him....or is he walking on? Because his background doesn't convey that he's really FBS scholarship material. Vito writes that he's taking Miller's spot, as if he got a scholarship. UCO is Division II....a step below FCS.

Either way....I wish him well....and maybe he'll be a huge surprise for us.

he's not listed on UCO's 2007 or 2009 roster, just 2008. Maybe he's been bouncing around looking for places to play. Hopefully he'll work out here.

Yeah...I know that. I read it in Vito's blog. My question was, is he being given a scholarship? That's my question.

If we are going to give a ship , I'd rather it go to the walk-onBrandon McCoy

Correct. But did he? And what season(s) has he sat out?

My point is that it does not matter what seasons he played, it only matters when he first enrolled full-time in college.

If he was on the 2008 UCO roster, and his bio says he played one year at Navarro, then at the very latest, he first enrolled in (junior) college in 2007. It seems unlikely that he would have first enrolled that year, given that he clearly intended to enroll at Grambling in 2006.

everyone gets 5 years to play 4, so if he enrolled in college in 2006, this is his last year of eligibility

Unless your name is Jason White or Ramon Flanigan.

Cramps, overheating, and running into a tent pole. All three are heat related injuries. I'm sure the tent was there for shade or a cooling station. With our prep in this heat, I really think our first home game every year should be against Wyoming or another northern school. It would certainly take advantage of the conditioning that our guys are working so hard to achieve.

Yeah, the mountain teams utilize their asset of altitude, so we should utilize our asset of horrible heat. That is if we can con anyone to come down here and play us in early September. Could have been part of the reason that we pretty much outplayed a good Ohio team last year. B)

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789. Go: Washington Happy Thanksgiving, Mean Green Nation!

      I appreciate that he obviously keeps track of the dialogue from this board. And I appreciate that he named the very concerns posted by many of us and owned those issues. But, I'm troubled that he could not state a plan to address our problems, other than to say, "we have to do better". That is what Littrell used to say. Anyway... Happy Thanksgiving. Let just be thankful for what we have and enjoy our basketball team playing in primetime tonight.
