Best interview I have heard from McCarney. Not exact quotes, but here are some tidbits.

(Should have put quotes around the title of this thread...Coach McCarney quote)

I apologize to our fans.

Really bad excuse for Mean Green football.

DW had a great week in practice.

Looked like an 8th grader trying to play 9th grade football for the first time.

Every coach and player has to do better.

Players are a reflection of our ability to coach.

Want our fans to be proud next Saturday, not embarrassed like today.

Laramie not serious. Sore. I can't go today.

We looked like a jr high defense today.

Nothing in my gut says good job today, but Jimmy played well.

I am embarrassed.

Question: how tough are you? Will you accept what happened today or be motivated by it.

Love coach. We roll next week after the toughest workweek of their short lives thus far.

I don't want to change the subject, but I want to add that the attendance at the UAB stadium was a sorry excuse for college football. Good god, I know we can't talk to much about our own attendance. But we usually have had a decent crowd on tv.

Legion Field seats a ton of people--over 70k officially. It makes it look emptier than it is. Their crowd wasn't great (I think the weather played a part), but the stadium makes it look much worse.

Visit Birmingham some time and you'll understand. Plus their program has been extremely, extremely poor for many years. Last year their school leaders approved money to build them a new on campus stadium to help them get up off the floor but the Alabama State Board of Regents which is run by Alabama and Auburn faithful shot it down citing some horseshit excuse that I can't remmeber what it was. Just remember thinking "God those poor bastards can't win for losing". Well, now they got a coach that's convinced the team that the losing is over no matter how lousy their situation is.

Great. Let's take out the most talented QB on the roster. I mean, USM is another down program, what could possibly go wrong?

A lot.

But I hope DW starts and throws for 400 yards.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      These conference wishlists are fun to discuss but in no world should UNT share a conference with Tarleton State and SHSU in 2025 lol I’d love being in the PAC as long as some other AAC members follow as a package. That conference wouldn’t be as friendly regionally but there would definitely be more opportunities for national recognition in the PAC especially in basketball.

      TXST in the same conference would be fun, but there are a lot of great moves to make... many of the current teams in our conference need to be kicked out first to avoid cheapening the media payout.

      Who did better? PAC 12 or Mountain West?

      Before the PAC2 raided the MWC, I had been a supporter of joining a rebuilt PAC, as long as it was a true "Western Conference" of D1, and we shared a nice little 6-8 division with the likes of Memphis, UTSA, Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico, Tulane, and a Rice or Tulsa. But it did not appear the PAC was going to bring enough programs close to DFW to make the added travel and exit fees worth it. Still don't know how the MWC held onto UNLV and Nevada, otherwise it'd be an even crappier conference than CUSA. But unlike the PAC7, it will still be recognized as an FBS conference next July. Doesn't seem like Memphis, Tulane, and USF will be going there, especially with an unknown TV deal. Ultimately I think with realignment, one of the G6 leagues will dissolve. The American struggles by being a league with several new teams, no notable rivalries, and no regional tie like the PAC, SBC, MWC, and MAC claim. And there are plenty of moves we could make to improve across many sports, but the league is so saturated. If it were up to me, I'd get Rice, Tulsa, Charlotte, Temple out of the conference. Force FAU and UTSA to find a solution to their high school gyms. Add Texas State, James Madison, Liberty, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Louisiana. That would create a 16-team conference with a 8-team West Division UNT would share and play annually against with UTSA, TXST, Tulane, Louisiana, Memphis, Western Kentucky, and UAB. Instead of playing frickin' Temple three times in three years. That would leave us at 15 teams for basketball, I'd add up to three non-football members between Dayton, St. Louis, VCU, Richmond.
