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,

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.

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.

<unsure if gang green was using sarcasm>

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

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.
