The one thing we all know about Dodge is that he is extremely classy and cares for all of his players from starters down to walk-ons. I would assume a moment silence will occur.

RIP and God Bless the family as they grieve for their young son.

The game tomorrow must seem pretty meaningless to the guys tonight. I know I'm not nearly as excited as I was yesterday. Brings back a lot of memories from when Andrew passed away.

As somebody said earlier...we all die young...some just younger than others. Best wishes to Josh's folks, friends, and teammates.

As a mother that is our worst nightmare, having to bury your child. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I have no kids of my own, but when I mentioned this to my wife, who has 4 from her first marriage (all grown, and all doing well, thank God), she said the same thing. This is such a tragedy for his family and those closest to him. One thing I hope the players can realize is that it's alright to come together in prayer at such times; although I'm not particularly religious, I know that can help.

Ch. 11 news at 10pm had a nice story about Josh. He was to suit up for the UNT game for the first time Saturday and had texted his dad about it earlier. They interviewed some fans at the SLC game tonite where they had a moment of silence for him. Some students there said they would attend the UNT game in his honor. They also interviewed Riley and Coach Dodge, both very classy and Riley said he would dedicate the game to him.

I hate things like this...

So sad, and there is nothing to say really...

My heart goes out his to family...

Football seems so insignificant right now...

Obviously you don't want it to happen like this but I am thinking if anything the boys are going to go out there and give that extra little effort and dedicate the game to Josh.

I really hope the players can rally tomorrow and win it for Josh.

that's horrible news. since having a child, i have realized how sad and tragic it is for a child or a young adult to lose their life. i can't imagine the pain his parents are feeling right now. so sad. my prayers go out to his family and friends.

      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?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
