Looks like he finally put his tail between his legs. *Note* Giving me -1's means that you love SMU

Honestly, do you think that Riley Dodge REALLY enjoyed his time at NT??? Seemed like a spoiled brat to me who just wanted to play for his daddy. Actually, I can totally understand that. However, yo

Breaking News on Riley

Here's to measured, well thought-out responses.

Nothing to measure or think out. Riley is a special athlete and a great young man. I will be forever grateful for his contributions here and I wish him every success in the future. He will be successful in the future on and off the field. It killed me to see him take the physical pounding he did for us and I respect him.

Thank you, Riley Dodge. :goodjob:

The only thing that irks me about this is he said he was going to stay despite the fact his father was fired. Is a person's word no good anymore?

When he said this, he was under the impression that he'd be playing quarterback.

Great kid and I hope he lands somewhere where he can be a difference maker. I think Coach Mac, and all of us really, saw what the Longhorns saw a few years ago, and that's just that he can't take that kind of punishment. He's got grit, but his body can't stand up to the sacks.

Good luck and God speed, Riley Dodge. Thanks for all you did to try to help the Mean Green win. Great kid, great attitude and great big heart. Took a "pounding and kept on ticking", and played with the "want to" that i would love to see in every athlete in every sport at UNT.

I would love nothing more than for Riley Dodge to have success wherever he ends up playing. My guess is that we will hear nothing but positives about UNT from Riley Dodge. Good luck, Riley...I, for one, will miss seeing you don the uniform of the Mean Green.

Good luck and God speed.

He did stay through the season. Just because I say I'm done eating after breakfast doesn't mean I won't eat lunch later!

Do we know he was told he can't fight for the QB position and that's what made him decide to leave? I wish him the best of luck, and wish he'd stuck around, but at the same time, I wish he would have finished his career here. He's a fighter and a playmaker regardless of the position he plays.

The Ticket stated that he was looking to transfer to a D-2 school with a pass heavy offense. Surely they meant FCS as opposed to D-2 right?

Every school listed in the MacMahon blog piece....is FCS. So I'm sure that's what they meant.

Good luck Riley....he's a good player and a good kid (very polite and respectful).

I think I'd argue he was able to take the hits more successfully than the two guys that started before him this year... Just sayin.

Do you have to take "transfer lumps"?

However, you know Riley thought he was always too good for NT (at least going into it...yes I am aware he is transferring to a I-AA school).

Anyway, he was only here for his dad and now he is a quitter.

On one hand I understand...it would be a tough situation staying after your father was fired. I get that...

No...he is a PURE D QUITTER...just like Giovanni Vizza!!! :growl:

Sure is a love fest for someone who just quit the program. Thanks for all the -1's, Riley's buddies must've been cruising the board.

Dear (insert QB name who transferred in January with 2 years of eligibility remaining) :

I appreciate (insert specific game where you gutted out a solid performance despite taking a horrible physical pounding) and I'll never forget the excitement we had when you signed on to play for us in ( 1) 2007 / 2) 2008) .

Seeing you sacrifice your body for a losing team was inspiring and humbling, and I'll always be grateful for the courage you showed on the field. To hear that you've decided to transfer away from a team that needed you so badly is heartbreaking ( 1) but completely understandable / 2) and an obvious sign of deep moral failing) .

I know it wouldn't have been the same for you to try and carry on here without your ( 1) father / 2) best friend) , and I ( 1) totally understand / 2) hope you die of syphilis) .

You gave a commitment to this team. You gave your word that you'd fight and struggle alongside your teammates. Those other guys were relying on your impressive physical talent and leadership. But instead, almost at the end of the window this team has to replace you, you've decided to move on and look for a fresh start somewhere else. ( 1) It must have been hard, but I respect that difficult choice and I say: "good for you". / 2) Die, die, die you godless animal, I hate you with ever fiber of my being.

In the end, there's one thing we can all agree on as members of the North Texas family: Most of the blame for this probably belongs with your dad.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
