Around SBN: Diego Sanchez and the Dangers of Fame in MMA

Two Cents: Be the press

I meant to post this yesterday, but we don't always get what we want and I'm over it.

Some of the questions in yesterday's Mack Brown press conference included

"How much of UCF's rushing success was because of Kevin Smith and how much was because of the Texas defense?"

"What will it be like to get Kindle, Melton, and Pittman back?"

"Will we see John Chiles or Sherrod Harris in a blowout situation against Rice" (a question he refused to answer for reasons of superstition)

"What effect do close games have on the team?"

"Did the blitzing prevent deep throws?"

Along with softball questions about Rice and the like.

Now the question

If you got your hands a press pass and had one question, how would you use it?

All the questions are great

But this one made me spew diet pepsi wild cherry all over my monitor.

Mack

who really calls the plays on offense?

...til Gabriel blows his horn

by BigTexBD on Sep 18, 2007 3:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Offensive play calling.

Considering that the expectation for UT football is set high (BCS Bowls annually).  I think it's easier for the average fan (or alumn like myself) to swallow a sub-par season than it is to see your team/alma mater's name plastered in vain across the national news weekly.  So I'd ask Mack:

Why not focus on correcting the team issues and let Greg Davis loose on Rice and K State?

by Speedway on Sep 18, 2007 3:49 PM CDT reply actions  

Amen.

That's the best question yet

Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.

Why

the fu*k do you clap every time we get stuffed at the goal line?

Clap happy

Does Brown clap each time a new player is arrested?
Does he clap when he says he is happy the game was won on a wing and a prayer?
Does he clap when he looks at the great linebacker play?
Does he clap when he sells the hogwash coachspeak at every press conference?
Will he clap when the offensive and defensive schemes totally collapses when faced with top notch competition?

Does each clap turn a switch in GD's head

on and off?

I just knew there was a reason he went mysterious brain dead at the damnedest times.

BTW three claps is automatic bubble screen.

by whills on Sep 18, 2007 8:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

And a serious question

which may or may not involve claps.

When are you going to bring back the clipboard girl from 2004?

Hell, I used to clap for her even when we played badly.

What

is the square footage of your office at the Travis County Jail?

by burntorangenance on Sep 18, 2007 4:33 PM CDT reply actions  

How many

How many of Arkansas State's and UCF's players are good enough to make your starting lineup?

"Excuse me while I whip this out."

Bravo for making him earn his scholarship!

How hard has it been sticking to your strategy of getting Bailey opportunities at those difficult angle 19-yard field goals by not scoring TD's within two yards of the endzone?  

by CyHorn770 on Sep 18, 2007 6:28 PM CDT reply actions  

Question

Is it going to take a loss to change strategy?

Answer
Yes.

by jimmer on Sep 18, 2007 7:17 PM CDT reply actions  

One question

You said you learned a valuable lesson last year when the season fell apart when Colt was injured. Will you design at least a limited offensive package for John Chiles, something like Coach Urban Meyer did with Teabow in his freshman year, and get Chiles into the game each week?

by valonghorn on Sep 18, 2007 7:47 PM CDT reply actions  

WHEN

will john chiles play?
sherrod harris?

it's [check your watch] o'clock and ou still sucks....

by ut fan in ok on Sep 18, 2007 9:22 PM CDT reply actions  

One question to sum up the first three games:

Coach Brown, are you f*cking kidding me?!?!

Sorry, I've been trying the whole optimism thing, but it's taken me this long since getting back from Orlando to open my eyes and realize how truly gawdawful the team looked a lot of the time on Saturday. Also, I just watched 300. Maybe Mack needs to kick one of our little felons down a well to wake the rest of the boys up. I don't know. Here's hoping for a Stoops-ian ass kicking (seriously, what is it with that guy and running up the score on the poor and helpless?) to be laid on Rice this coming weekend to brighten all of our moods...

So take that.

by Kahuna on Sep 18, 2007 9:23 PM CDT reply actions  

Here's a loaded question, just to be easy on Mack

Hey Mack, how do you feel about 3rd and long bubble screens?

Colt McCoy is the bastard child of Charles Bronson.

by SuperBentley on Sep 18, 2007 10:17 PM CDT reply actions  

question for Mack

Since our O-Line supposedly outweighs and out-talents most of our opponents, why do you and Greg Davis persist in running delayed handoffs and a zone-blocking scheme instead of playing smash-mouth football and stuffing it down the opposition's throats?    WTF??!?
