In case you missed it, Maj.Dick Winters of "Band of Brothers", E-Company (Easy Company) passed away of Jan. 2nd at the age of 92. If you read Stephen Ambrose's 1992 book or saw the movie "Band of Brothers" you are pretty much aware of what Maj Winters and Easy Co. did during the D-Day invasion and Battle of the Bulge during WWII.

Maj Winters was a very private man in his life after the war and very few people even knew what he had done before the book and movie came out. He even requested that his passing not be announced until after his burial services.

What a great American. We all owe Maj Winters and all our veterans and service members a debt of gratitude for the sacrifices they made and continue to make each and every day in the service to this great nation of ours.

Thank you Maj. Winters...well done!

      Next week's ECU game is our last chance this season to sellout DATCU Stadium

      So if you were AD for a day which P4 regional program could you bring in? Hard to get the big boys in Texas to play in a 30,000 seat road game. SMU and TCU will never play us again and Houston has moved on. Looks like Texas State , Sam Houston, UTEP, New Mexico St.,Ark. St., ULL, and La. Tech are regional programs that might draw more fans than flies so sign them up.

      Caponi fired

      Did he keep him because of lack of $$ to fire him last year? Or was he given another year to add players, make adjustments, etc to see if improvement? I don’t know, but guessing our budget factored into it.

      2025 DC Wish List

      Jeremiah Johnson from La Tech. My #1 choice no to high school DC, they have no clue to the portal and I don’t feel a great source of talent judgement. Carthel I don’t think would come for a coordinator role even for 200k more. He was my choice for HC after SL. if Johnson tells us no, look at the D2 level. D2 coordinators are more aggressive recruiting and better judges of talent. They are constantly trying to sell “snow to eskimos”. Bringing in particular kids from the portal with 1/2 schollys and inadequate facilities filling holes left by transfers etc. They are hustlers AND they won’t be afraid to come in with a hot seat coach, because of the confidence in their own skill . They will be more aggressive, But will adapt to the personnel they have in the cupboard. I’m also not sure we are getting any value from our recruiting gurus and support staff and we may need to revamp in that area for sure. Question our dfw high school coaches and get their recommendations for a DC We can do a little research in the D2 level and save money on a search committee lol
