I'm so so glad we finally got into east Texas to recruit.

Who was it that would always be on this foruim griping that Dodge was overlooking talent out there. Whoever it was, it is clear that he was right.

Could have been me or EastTexasEagle. Next, we need to be more active in Lufkin and down to the Orange, Tx. and Little Cypress areas. Louisiana Tech has three commitments from West Orange Stark, a perennial 3A power down there. UT and other programs like Houston constantly sign top recruits from down there. Edited by DeepGreen

We may not be overlooking the talent over there, but the fact that other schools do is what makes East Texas so good for us. The lack of exposure those kids get, compared to DFW kids, makes it a lot easier for us. Plus, a lot of out of state schools that recruit Texas focus on the big areas (DFW, Houston, SA).

Getting guys like Tee Goree and Sam Miller is huge. But could you imagine Tee Goree playing for a school like DeSoto or Southlake, or Sam Miller playing for a school like Coppell or Arlington Martin? They had about 10 offers each before committing to us. They would've easily had at or over 20 had they been playing for schools like that. Maybe we still would've landed them but it would've been a lot harder.

Still plenty of talent in DFW for us, but East Texas will be huge for us going forward.

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Seems like you've gotten over the speeding ticket well.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
