They say that all good things must end.

Turn out the lights, the party is over.

Tomorrow starts the same old s..t again.

The cumulative injuries have taken away any chance we had for seven wins. Is this a conditioning/training issue? I thought we had one of the best. At any rate, this season is gone with nine still to play. My heart goes out to the great young men that represent us. Play out the string and move on.

I need to vomit.

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that broken bones in the lower leg are NOT a conditioning issue.

I was sad to see you guys lose MORE players today, I hope everybody heals completely.

You've been a very gracious fan and a great presence on our board. Thank you for visiting with us, congrats on yet another win against us... And please don't be a stranger in the future.

TURN OUT THE LIGHTS....DODGE BALL IS OVER. THEY SAY ALL BAD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END. TURN OUT THE LIGHTS...TODD DODGE BALL IS OVER.

Thanks for coming Coach Dodge. You tried your best. I know you wanted UNT (North Texas) to win more than anyone else. It didnt' happen. Goodbye sir. You are still a high-school legend.

Lou Holtz coached in the NFL, Steve Spurrier coached in the NFL, Pete Carrol is back in the NFL, all of these are legends in college. Todd, while college might not of been for you, Im sure there is some high school in Texas that will want you as a coach. Sorry this hasn't worked out for you, you are a great man. The college game isn't for everyone.

There is no doubt High School's will be fighting for the right to lure T.D. to their school.

I'm always slightly creeped out when people post stuff like this. I can never tell if they are snarky or genuine, and so they remain awkward in my mind.

We should just make the announcement that Dodge won't be back has head coach, put Deloach on notice, and sit all the seniors.

The Dodge era is the worst in school history.

why does everyone pronounce deloach as the man that should be in charge? i believe he has never been a head coach. his defense is getting better, but it's not what he has done in the past. chico has never been a coach either, but who is to say that he wouldn't be better? i wouldn't give it to deloach.

He has sway in our hearts because he led those great defenses.

I think that a lot of the credit for those years goes to the coach who lead our recruiting, Kenny Evans.

And why would you do that? Look as critical I am of Dodge I don't want to add salt to the wound of the kids who have only gone through losing their whole collegiate career. Sitting seniors would be a cowardly thing to do in my opinion. Let them finish out the season and lets give them a reason that despite their struggles, they are still part of the Mean Green family and future in some shape or form.

Even if we wanted to sit the seniors, with 10 major injuries in three games, we couldn't. We have no depth.

You don't sit seniors unless you feel they aren't trying to win or don't care. I'm pretty sure these guys are playing hard and care. Some of today's loss was because we didn't have an offense and with your 3rd string QB in the game it's hard to expect anything else. The D gave up less points today that they have in the other two games and actually looked pretty good at times. The special teams were tremendously better; somebody put some coaching time in with them this past week!

Here's what bothers me; We don't try to adjust to adversity. Your right side O line is getting overrun and you don't run the shovel pass, screen or draw and you don't add a tight end to that side to lend a hand? Santiago was having a bad time and Gill was doing well against the same D-end when he switched sides, so move our line around periodically; maybe spell the guard/tackle that's getting his butt kicked. Fortenberry played very well in substitution. One more thing with the offense; run a play that confuses the D when you need some yards. Play action, sweep, tight end slant and draw are all missing from our offense and all work for everybody else. Don't we have situational plays? If we're gonna lose, lets go down swinging, maybe make it fun?

We started the second half down 14-0 and the D had played well, aside from the first touchdown drive. The second was set up by a Dodge fumble. Army's running back was injured.

That was a point our D could have given us a chance by stepping up and keeping Army out of the end zone. They did well on the first drive, but on the second Army moved all the way down the field and scored another TD.

Our D also could have helped us by getting turnovers to shorten the field.

Instead, the D got manhandled, got no turnovers, and the patchwork offense had no chance.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
