After the FIU debacle to open the season, Coach McCarney said, "No excuses from anyone."
And, so we've held him to that...many of us have. Injuries. Lack of depth. Youth. Any of these excuses could have been used this year at any given time for North Texas.
We will look back at this win and say, though, here was a North Texas team who had every reason to pack it in, quit, and use those excuses to finish out the season with a wimper, and start flying the "next season/rebuilding" banner.
But, you know what...they didn't!
The coaches didn't. The players didn't. And, now, we the fans, can't. If you've got season tickets, you've really got no excuse, outside of family emergency, not to go support these guys against WKU and Middle Tennessee.
Four wins. Many people around the country will look at our lack of depth, youth, and injuries, and say Dan McCarney is working a miracle just to get to four. But, that's not true. Remember, this is the guy who after being blown out said, "No excuses." He's just keeping his promise to us.
Damn right, no excuses. And, that attitude seems to have finally caught on with this team. They're now seeing the ball, being the ball, Danny. Let's go out and support them next Saturday with our friends, neighbors, enemies, and strangers. Let's get them into Apogee and give the team a "No Excuses" attitude from the bleachers.
