McCarney presser notes (video added)

Harry · November 25, 2013

Dan McCarney's press conference was this morning, as always.

Turns out the sun did in fact come up after UNT lost to UTSA. Here are a few tidbits of note:

Dan McCarney and UNT officials are still convinced that they are headed to a bowl game somewhere. It looks more and more like it will be the Heart of Dallas Bowl. C-USA commissioner and Heart of Dallas founder Britton Banowsky was at UNTs last game.

The sun came up but it's still freakin cold...

Best news is Freddie Warner getting back to playing and hopefully getting some practice time between now and the bowl game. Good news.

HOD would be a good bowl to end a good season. Very good to see UNT fans with high expectations. As DMAC said, this will take time. We thought this was "the year" but it is certainly a good year.

If we beat Tulsa (and I think we will) and get the HOD bid I predict 20,000 or more green clad folks in the Cotton Bowl.

The HOD has also always been generous with tickets to city employees after the teams' allotments are purchased. I think you'll see another 4-5,000 folks who are just interested in a local team.

And I have a perfect place for a party the night before.

A HOD Bowl invite seems inevitable with their rep being at our last 3 home games and the most recent with the CUSA commish' with him.

Again, the 1 month to sell tickets, heal some injuries and to prepare for a bowl game and even Spring Football, 2014. It would also give our coach's a month to seal a few recruiting deals, too; and with some of that group even coming to the HOD Bowl as our special guests (if the NCAA allows). .

I think we'd also see our #2 and #3 QB's getting more than their normal amount of snaps during the 1 month wait as well. One could never measure just how much all this extra time could help for Fall, 2014, too.

Wishin' & Hope'n: To play the Iowa Hawkeyes would be so great with all our school's connections to that school and would almost be too good to be true. To have Coach Fry back (if his health allowed) along with Coaching Tree product Dan McCarney would make for some great state-wide newspaper feature stories, too.

Post season bowl talk is such a welcome thing back in MG Country, too.

It's All Good! It's All Green! (an old FFR quote)

GMG!

PS: Any of you GMG.com recruiting guru's know if we are still recruiting a particular JUCO QB which Scout said we were at one time?

PS II: Any of you older H-Town crowd and fellow alums remember when the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl game was about the only bowl that would ever invite University of Houston to their game when no other bowls would?
