Said Akunne had some nice plays.

only 1 turnover on defense wants 2,3,4 every game.

Thompson so much farther ahead this year as opposed to last year. Not even in the same world. Really seen him blossom as a leader.

Said physically we played better against LSU than we did against Bama last year. sees a team that is more physical a lot further ahead this season. Brought up Michigan Bama game and said he is changing the culture the expectations. Mentioned Frank Wentrich as a key in the offseason program. Said they were "sick" about the loss and there were no high fives or smiles as had been the case before. Said the team watched the game film on the flight back looking over their shoulders at coaches to listen and see where they could improve. Kept bringing up the culture and how hard they were working to change it.

Spoke about Brelan Chancellor: Chancellor's play gave Mac so much hope that we can build this thing. Other receivers did not play as well. Brelan SHINED under the national spotlight. Very proud of #3 but needs others to step up. Says he doesn't say much but just comes out to play every single day.

Special Teams: below average at best -- didn't name a special teams player of the game and usually do. Beleives and trusts in Kent Riddle but they have to do a better job. Thought George's son Blake had a good game at snapper.

He said his secretary Mary Hardins husband Stacy is a referee and comes to a lot of their practices to help on any new rules changes.

Said Dougie Anderson and Dave Barnett were calling the TV for Texas Southern

Mentioned they do a Recruiting power hour on Monday night...thought that was cool.

Macs never lost to a FCS DIAA team.

Said there are quite a few players on TSU who could be in the UNT two deep.

He said TSU would be very hungry and have a chip on their shoulder being 1-0 whilest we a 0-1. He said as good as they looked on tape at Reliant stadium yesterday they would be even better against us.

Facebook with Poppy up next!!!

Played Texas Southerns fight song as the FWP theme...didn't go over well.

Damon wants to know how online performed: lots of positives...know how to play together players trust Simmonds...said defensive line was OKay...wants to increase the rotation to 7-8-9 guys...wants to get to a 9 man rotation.

Joe asks how not to overlook FCS program after FCS teams had big upsets....Mac says you need preparation and respect when you play these games. Lot of IAA guys can plan and have something to prove. One of Macs interns played at TSU and is giving a lot of insight.

how do you stop TSU : 2 mobile quarterbacks, need to limit big plays and increase turnovers...move the line of scrimmage back. wants the crowd to help with making it nuts, make it crazy for TSU

losing is losing. --- Macs not cut from that cloth -- did not play LSU to get beat. Said he didn't see his kids flinch and you try to pull the good things from the game and on the bad things you identify, take responsibility for it and try to correct it.

UNT secondary -- this group should improve the most on the team. most of them played special teams or scout teams. Even though they were inexperienced they played pretty well. Really thinks this team will continue to improve.

Boutwell practiced tonight and has a green light and will be back -- won't play 75 snaps but will play a lot and they need him.

Coleman Feely is GMG to join the show and he is a character. He will bring UNT player specific stories to the show. Mac said people care more about player stories

Joked about Coleman Feely bionic man, braces on both knees... At the team talent show Coleman Feely was the MC and dressed up to look exactly as Director of Operations Scott Connalley with the grey hair etc. Will do story on Aaron Fortenberry nickname "the Bear"...think it will show on MeanGreenSports.com on show called beyond the Numbers.

praising Dirty Byrds pass blocking

Condemning the Brown fumble - guy really despises turnovers...

Sarge and Cantly day to day will know more by tomorrow- neither one played in 2nd 3rd or 4th quarters of LSU

Says the coaching challenge is trying to figure out how much of the loss was due to LSU being so damn good and how much was UNT not executing.

trivia question: Derek Thompson was the first to throw 2 TDs at UNT since???? Answer: Mitch Maher!!

Zach Orr was Mac's defensive player of the game...he really gushed praise on Orr.

Said Aaron Bellazin played his biggest game since he has been here ... Also lauded KC Obi

Said Akunne had some nice plays.

only 1 turnover on defense wants 2,3,4 every game.

I am still puzzling about that trivia question, what is the last QB that passed for two tds in a game. Answer Maher I guess they don't count the 8 tds Vizza threw against Navy or many other QBs that have thrown two or more since Maher. Heck, Thompson throw for 2 last year against Troy.

Maybe I miss understood the question, but if not someone needs to do a litttle research.

That's what I thought, also. Maybe it was against an SEC opponent?

I think maybe it was 2 in a season opening game?
