Did not catch the coach's show, but the cliff notes version of today's McCarney game recap with Hank was pretty similar to post game:

• Happy with crowd that showed up
  
• Thought defense played well. Held Troy under averages across the board
  
• Concerns again with special teams. All about mental toughness.
  
• Special team struggles (again) impacted decisions late in the game
  
• Winners transfer performace from practice field to game. Not happening enough.
  
• Need better job of translating yards to points
  
• FAU similar to UNT, new stadium, new staff, increased expectations
  
• UNT/FAU 2 of 4 teams that have played 2 teams in top 10 so far this year
  
• We are not working as hard as we are just to lose games
  
• Marcus Smith (TE) probably out for year
  
• Andrew Power (TE) awaiting MRI
  
• Sarge Mccoy (DE) probably back this week

What happened to Smith?

[Harry]

What happened to Smith?

he was not dressed out, looks to be a leg or knee issue but he did not appear to have a cast or splint.

That is a shot across the bow for a couple of guys. If in context, that's pretty blunt. I like it.

Hope it is not the same knee that kept him out last year. He looks like a player.

You do know that you can listen in, right? Or...tape the show for a later listen perhaps. Not knocking you...just letting you know. maybe the time doesn't work for you....

Pretty good show last night, excellent crowd considering the loss Saturday night. Not much more than you would expect Coach mac to say after such a defeat. Did the usual coach thing in praising FAU and talking about how tough the game will be. Comic relief as the folks were talking about FAU's old stadium...pretty funny. hank compared it to the Denton fairgrounds and got a few moans from the locals.

Said Brelen was not told to fair catch the ball and he wanted Brelen to secure the ball and head up field more...said Olen is a good kicker and he expects him to recover from the last game. Likes all three of our running backs. Likes the crop of red shirts and the recent transfer signings.

About it really...at least all I can recall anyway.

I can? Good! Because the last few times I have tried to listen over the airwaves, 88.1 was batting about .500 in terms of actually broadcasting whatever show was going on at Rudy's. And last night, not by a radio, but tried to stream 88.1 and had no success.

And what's a tape?

Even if you listen via the radio there will be about a dozen times that they lose the connection during the show. Maybe they should hire Harry and Evan, they seem to have a lot less technical difficulties when they stream their podcast. Or they could fire the manager of KNTU and replace him with someone who is competent.

It was so annoying in the beginning that I just turned the radio to another station. The techies need to get their $hit together; radio remotes were done flawlessly even when I was a kid (circa early - mid 50s). It is even more annoying than the officials' mics at Apogee (what's up with that for the second year?).

Don't worry, it'll be fixed by this time next year.

Maybe.

I have had some success with 95.3 when 88.1 was struggling. You can listen on the radio at 95.3 or stream from www.khyi.com.

That's what I said about the ref's mics ...

[greenminer]

Can anyone else elaborate on what was said?

And special teams.
