I get they have to have the focus for every game the same. But does he know how much this is NOT just another game to us? He can cement a legacy here beating them this year and next. Unlike Kordell.
They know. They all know.
They have also been told how they are to answer those questions this week.
He was what, 12 when we last played Nebraska? The only guys on the team that may care would be the ones who grew up buff fans.
That said, multiple kids have talked about Hagan being in their ear about this game.
Guess who is up next?
The original Mac is loving on HCMM in a big way.
Goosebumps. Just in his opening comments. So good to see Bill McCartney doing well.
Great. Another week where I get jack **** done at work.
this started out really well, but has devolved to Mac telling the media to only write positive stories about HCMM.
I get his overall point about patience, but ya.
Back on track: "I'd rather be dead then red."
What does Nebraska got?
"NOTHING"
What does Nebraska got?
"NOTHING"
And off track again
Yea, painful.
Raise your hand if there is no red in your wardrobe. I mean none at all.

He's now asking to be allowed to speak to the players. Kind of surprised that's not the plan already.
Favorite memory of Nebraska: "Shaking hands with Tom Osborne after we beat them."

I don't have any red in my house at all. My son always tries to get red shirts or shorts because he knows it pisses me off.
All I know is that I will have zero patience for anyone in the media who criticizes Bill McCartney for going off script and maybe saying some things he'd be better off staying away from in regards to how the media should do its job. Sometimes folks have to know when to let things slide.
Probably shouldn't put him on the podium again, though. It's too much. CU needs to keep him limited to controlled interviews from very friendly media members at this point.

Yea. It's super awkward in the room when he goes into that theme. Re: @Buffnik's point... the media is being very respectful despite that.
I get it, but critiquing a 78 year old man with Alzheimer's for going off track seems a bit much.
Huh? I'm not criticizing him for any symptom of Alzheimer's. I'm saying this theme about media treatment of the program is a bad one that is super awkward. He's not forgetting what he's saying. It is more likely he just DGAF and wanted to make a point he felt was important.
Maybe I am misinterpreting, but your comments about how he is getting off track just struck me as cold given the situation.
Sooo it wasn't what I said, but how I said it? That's nothing new.
Just a factoid that I just realized and thought was interesting:
This game is a matchup of the two previous consensus National Head Coaches of the Year.

May every last husker burn in hell.
Funny note: HCMM came to work on Sunday and all the TVs in the champions center were playing nebraska highlights. He still doesn't know who set it up.

I hope they get Mac to the NU game and let him speak right before they go out. Kids will have the intensity to match the crowd.
