MGB: Mac presser tidbits

[GrandGreen]

Can't tell if your sarcasm was aimed at me or Vito, but this is a direct quote from his writing.

Actually, neither: it was in reference to NT having press conferences with no mikes on the questioners. It kind of limits the question and answer part of the presser.

With the number of press members that NT has covering these events, they could have a round table and share the mike.

"1. The quarterback battle

Offensive coordinator Mike Canales — one of our favorites — didn’t even wait for someone to ask the question at UNT’s pre-spring press conference. He dove right into the quarterback question when it was time for him to talk about UNT’s offense.

UNT brings back two-year starter and two-time team captain Derek Thompson, who has done some good things, and now has Brock Berglund. The former Kansas QB is supposed to be the greatest thing since Scott Hall, which would be pretty great.

Here’s the problem. Berglund hasn’t played since high school back in 2010 and has bounced around from school to school. He did spend the fall at UNT running the scout team, which will help.

The expectation is that Berglund will win the job, perform like no quarterback at UNT since Hall — the last UNT quarterback to be named all-conference in 2004 — and led the Mean Green, which hasn’t won more than five games in a season in eight years, to a bowl game while it makes the transition to a tougher league in C-USA. And he’s supposed to do this with a team that averaged 20.9 points a game last season, lost two of its best offensive lineman, a key running back in Jeremy Brown and its leading receiver in Ivan Delgado to graduation.

And if Berglund can’t do it. Thompson is supposed to.

This message will self destruct in five seconds.

Ok, it’s not quite “Mission Impossible” but it is a pretty tall order."

This is from Vito's ?'s heading into the Spring blog piece. Just thought everyone should read it before declaring Berglund, or anyone, the messiah.

I think most people are just hoping to see Berglund play at a level that is higher than we have seen since Hall was at QB here. I kind of feel like Vito is being negative here, which is fine, but I feel like he could just as easily write a blog that is exactly the opposite, too. Of course, if I had to watch and report on what we have all seen over the last 8 years, writing for a paper in a town that doesn't really like its own hometown football team, then I'd probably come off as negative, too.
