It’s amazing what can happen when you control the game by stopping the run and run the ball.   Rick

Dad is an alum and I’ve been to every single title game. Don’t bring that pain on me by making me choose. 

And from which school did you graduate?

NDSU would not be a sure thing. Let’s focus on our first sell out versus UH!  GMG!

Yep, but I meant 1 winning season in 5 unless I'm remembering wrong.

Yep...and I meant bowl championships, trophy’s and such...which in order to win those pretty little things you must do three things:

1. Run the ball.

2. Stop the run.

3. Play Solid Defense.

I'm actually with you on your overall point, but we really shouldn't be walking down this path.

McCarney won that ball game with the same system that failed to get him there every other year he was here.  The same system that he failed to coach properly.  Failed to recruit to properly.  Failed to, honestly, care about.

There are a million reasons you are right.  Let's use a better one.

I realize that but it would just be great to play down here, one of 12 yearly games.

They have a great fan base, but scheduling them (and possibly losing) does not do much for us.  Beating them doesn’t do much either.  I guess I just don’t see the positive.  Sorry, man

But he won it.....and he won it with a similar system and philosophy that beat us in our last three bowl games.

Run The Ball

Stop The Run...and play solid defense.

No, he won it because we played UNLV and not Utah State, And very good Troy team and FAU last year.  Not even close to the same competition

I really don't understand the need to defend Littrell getting blown out in every meaningful game we've played.

Great coaches find ways to win the game. Stop making excuses 

McCarney was awful. Pure and Simple. He won with Dodge's players and was awful every year outside of one with a heavy senior class and some stud players.

McCarney was aweful at Recruiting.

McCarney was aweful at public speaking and promotions.

McCarney was aweful in husbandry, which might explain his inability to properly deal with personal relationships that led to him to losing his team in 2015?

But he understood game control and that you must run the ball, you must stop the run and you must play solid defense to win championships.

Remember THE STAND.

In three years time he cut Dodge’s Points Per Game allowed from 30 Per game to 17.

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
