He has a decent class thus far (ESPN has them 12th). The main reason Hicks went to UT was OSU's linebacker depth. He probably wouldn't have played at OSU until he was a Junior (excluding Special Teams). At Texas, he'll have a chance to get PT almost immediately.

This is a kid who played football and wrestles for me. He's a little nuts.

I sure hope his parents have a good health care coverage.

I met with Coach Suriano yesterday. He's very different than I expected...in a good way. I really hope this happens. I think it would a great opportunity for my future endeavors in coaching.

Former Defiance coach named d-coordinator for Denver.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4866581

HasBeen i cant remember if he ever actually coached at DC or not i think he might have been an assistant or student assistant...it is in his profile he was a D Coordinator but i think some PR folks took some liberties there.  he is an alum and played DB and was the first white guy in BASA and the only person that ever got in more trouble than me and Talik with the Dean of Students and never got kicked out.  there are some legendary stories!!

Martindale was my D Coordinator in High School at Northmont then he went to Notre Dame my Sr year.  he was the DC at Western Illinois that took my brother out there as GA.

last time i went out drinking with him i think i pissed him off becuase i kept trying to call Al Davis with his Cell at 2am when he coached LBs with the Raiders

[Adam Sayer]

You were trying to get Al to send you one of his Leisure Suits weren't you?

70_dc_alum, I don't think anyone can top Padron and his track record at DC.  He even was able to get a diploma after all of his "event!"
It's still cool to see some DC blood in the NFL!  Martindale has been doing a great job working up the ranks.  I hope he does well at Denver.

"Event"  was there something that happened after i left?  Padron was not too bad, grades killed him.  i know they had police escort Martindale out of a BBall game.  me and you got close a few times after deweys trips but never got removed by the cops!

You young'ns might want to hold off on the coronation... the Latchaw Sims Denison (LSD) Freak Coalition had a 'Nam-era notoriety which remains if Buchman or the Mikulas' are queried (they are the only "Old Guard" left).  Front page, Defender/Offender articles were a weekly norm.   The college saw fit to bulldoze the dorms and throw up the "suites" after a feeble attempt to transition Denison into the Alpha Xi sorority house 
Trust... the pictures, articles, and student judiciary records are still "floating around" though edited on FB.

Ben, I guess you're right that Padron wasn't that bad with school matters.  He grades were is weakness that's for sure.  After you left he had a few incidents with the dorms that left him banned from campus only to attend classes. 
In regards to Deweys I plead the fifth, because I don't ever remember much when we went there.  The only police escort I remember was Sweede's bday in Pittsburg when the police asked me to round up my friends and just leave.  By the way it was a nice choke slam by you through the table.

Bob, I trust anything that comes from you.  I remember speaking to some alums at a watering hole that told some of the greatest stories about their times at DC in the 60's. 

[70_dc_alum]

I've seen a few of those Pics of Bob's...good stuff.  Bobyou do realize they bulldozed the Alpha house the year after i graduated.  Coincidence??? the grass sure was a lot greener there!

Thanks for recognizing the choke slam.  after 3 years of talking smack about the greatness of choke slamming only to be mocked by the non believers, you were all there to witness the fun...and it was into a couple rows of chairs not a table!!

Oh yeah... we had a ceremonial, commemorative bonfire on the dirt site at our 20th reunion to recall my wife's disciplinary action for burning the "crotch critter" couch in '74.    To think this may have been the missing link to her 35 year career as a syphilis/STD chaser from geology major?  Spelunking jokes, aside,   "Defying the Ordinary" before a canned campaign.    Reason we were known as the "Denison Degenerates."

BTW, Ms Caves was the Alpha pledge trainer in 1972.  LOL

[70_dc_alum]

there must be something about burning couches that goes across generations!!  end of the freshman year we piled up about 35 couches behind the parking lot in the quad for a quaint little bonfire.  who whould have known that couches are so flamable and a 20 foot tall pile could provide flames 100 feet high and gets the fire department called.

[Adam Sayer]

Were those couches located behind the endzone at one point?

Not the couch I referred to, Adam    That one was "kwelled" for biological reasons that the Dean didn't comprehend  .  While drawing the fire department, the only 100+ footer we had during my era was Sisson Hall.
