Coach Mccarney state of the Mean Green Address

[UNT90]

They have 4 guys in o-line. Guys who are in hunt are Shawn McKinney, Micah Thompson, Rentfro.

This is great news for next year.

[Harry]

The reason we played well late in games was our use of rotation. We plan on rotating a lot this year. Will have to earn your playing time.

[Harry]

Need to fill Apogee. Students have responded.

[Stan R]

Expect a strong student support this year. I think this is the most excited freshman class in years. I know it was good last year but until the wings are full we still have room to grow.

[aztecskin]

Shots fired? Was be being facetious?

[JesseMartin]

Tell Dandy he needs to follow back on Twitter #UNTFollowTrain

Follow back y'all! Woot! Woot!

[GangGreen]

Why do you always have to be so damn negative?

[BillySee58]

Why do you always have to be so damn negative?

Lol. He was saying that because two of those guys will be back next year when we are going to have to replace at least 3, maybe 4 starting offensive linemen and we aren't really sure what we have behind them.

Temps in the upper 30s. Wind coming out of the north (steady at 13 MPH according to the stat sheet). The game was on TV if I remember correctly, so why go to the game when you can watch it from the warmth of your home.

Whatever,

That's exactly what I was saying. The OL is returning a bunch of starters, and if these guys are pushing them, that is great news for the future of this program.

Nah. Pretty sure he thinks you're a crusty old bastard.

[emmitt01]

The fact we lost so many seniors and were picked to win the West is laughable. I guess it's better than being picked last.

Thanks Coach Mac, some of us were getting a little too excited about this year's team.

[Ben Gooding]

Yeah, the shit that he says is so dumb. Laughable? Really? I don't get this coaches lingo. Is his ego really this big?

[foutsrouts]

Why is it always McNulty/Greer instead of Greer/McNulty? Oh, that's why.

[JesseMartin]

I think his point wasn't to say that we can't win the West, but that it's weird that others assumed we would after losing so many starters.

That's just a given...

[Christopher Walker]

Alright, I'm a hell of a lot more comforted by the video than I was with the verbal reports earlier today.

On the way Mac talks about the SMU series and rivalry specifically, I think he's setting up a narrative that looks like this:

"We, collectively have not consistently won at any point against this program BEFORE I got here." The way he talks about it is more like, we WILL win under MY leadership, and consistently at that.

Right, downplaying history while promoting what he has done since he has been here.

Like I said before, it's a motivational message aimed at the players.

But I'm sure there is also absolutely no self-promotion agenda behind that at all...

Naw, it's completely self-promotion; it's not even vaguely disguised.

But I don't really think there's anything wrong with that.

Except when you constantly rewrite history by saying we were the smallest, slowest FBS team in America when you got here.

The hardcore fans know better, but then again that isn't at whom the message is aimed.
