...that Dodge said the defense "played their ass off." Happy that the wide receiver coach didn't try to "re-direct" him for saying ass.

Dodge looks more relaxed. He's acting more relaxed. I think he knows this is going to be a big season. It's football again.

The BIG test comes Saturday against Rice. NT is favored by 2 after losing last time to them 77-20. This could be a benchmark game for the upcoming 2-game roadtrip as well as the whole season! :o

I think we need to beat rice to start strong and stay strong. A loss to rice could really de-rail the season in my mind. It's DodgeBall Time! He needs to sh!t or get off the pot.

Good God Almighty, I cannot fathom a loss to Rice (although we know all things are possible), 2 teams with a "must win" game just about anything can happen.

I am pulling for TDodge because I think with wins (and a new contract) we will get the complete HFC package with this guy. Many from Denton have told me he is more than willing to do the PR things.

The other thing I like about the guy is he knows his 4'th year expectations and doesn't gripe about them; you know, saying things like expectation for others aren't as high in the athletic dept. as they are for him. He has made no excuses that I have heard on either radio or TV; you know, how we at North Texas always have our backs against the wall and its always the "us versus the world" mentality?"

If TDodge has to leave this Fall for not reaching stated goals, he will leave graciously and UNT will just go out and hire another coach--plain and simple.

GMG!

      Disappointed the game didn't allow us to see Mason, Cotton, and Vice.

      Two more home games before students are back, then hopefully the athletic department is going all out to try to compete with last year's record-breaking numbers.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      In traditional professional football, when teams pay players and have a losing season, the teams still make $$$ and turn a profit. Thus they can afford to continue to pay players. In today’s college football, when boosters pay players NIL and the team has a losing season, the boosters lose money AND they don’t get to experience the joy of being associated with a winner. Will those boosters keep donating NIL? Do you have to find new boosters? Don’t you eventually run out of boosters? Just don’t see how this NIL model is sustainable. Rich people didn’t get rich by losing money and I don’t see how you can keep asking them to do that via NIL. The revenue sharing model WILL work and it will be interesting to see what percentage of revenue is ultimately allocated to labor. The NBA gives 51% of gross revenue to players. The other major professional leagues give less. But why would colleges give players anything close to that? College players are infinitely replaceable. People root for their school and as a consequence of that, root for the players competing for that school. But if the Top 100 players in college football disappeared overnight, would the popularity of the sport suffer at all? I don’t think it would. Offer the players minimum wage, make them sign binding contracts with buyouts and non-competes (assuming you can still enforce those: that is another rabbit hole). NIL will still exist but won’t be as big of a deal because of the contracts and buyouts. If a players thinks he is too good for this system, they can start their own football league or wait until they are eligible for the NFL. Why wouldn’t this work?

      I don’t know how much they care. It’s like monopoly money. Many of them are just borrowing from Uncle Sam and hoping they don’t have to pay it back.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Did you believe Alabama would be uncompetitive vs Oklahoma? What about OSU vs Tennessee? Did you think TCU would get absolutely nuked by Georgia a few heads ago AFTER beating #4. Michigan? Blowouts happen every year in we den the 4 team playoff. They mean little.
