bothEither Hilton was really quiet or coach was really ****** off.
I was just wondering if anyone had a better look at what happened during one of the early time outs in the game today when the team wasn't playing very well. My seats are in the second row of the balcony and I could hear the clipboard break as it hit the floor and what appeared to be GMac calling out Brackins for not playing with heart.
Craig is not the main problem. Listening to John and Eric yesterday, they said that Craig is their best passer to the post. That has to be pretty frustrating. Maybe he could pass it to himself?
He's part of the problem. He played with much better effort yesterday than he did at Duke. He took a lot of plays off against Duke.
All of that fire and brimstone and it only equated to a 2 point win over NDS.
Unless Brackins has a moster conference season I think he will have no choice but to come back for his senior year. Wouldn't it be weird if somehow next year Brackins comes back and Gilstrap is awarded another year? Do we even have enough scholarships if that were somehow to occur?He did? He looked disinterested the entire game, and forced some VERY ill-advised shots. Didn't play any defense (but that's the norm for us).
I bet he was on here and read what I posted the other day. Call out Brackins to make an example. I like it.

Beating NDSU by 2 isn't neccesarily all on Mac. This team should be able to go out, and if they just play hard, should win by 20. They could not have been playing hard. Some may blame Mac but ultimately it is on these guys to play with intensity and play hard.
Mr. funny man Jack & Hilton. While the "delivery" may have been a bit farfetched in nature, the idea that Mac has to show some emotion and get his guys to WANT to play for him is spot on. Him showing any emotion and enthusiasm for his players is better than the status quo of his adjusting his cufflinks and staring at the end zone scoreboard dazed and confused. The problem is, against NDSU, this came out, he chewed some a$$, showed some emotion, and got them fired up, but then the players only carried this on for 4-5 mins and back to our ho-hum attitudes.He must have saw the experiement thread from yesterday morning. Well, that experiment kinda failed. Does that yahoo poster have anymore ideas for Coach McDermott to try?
BF twitter was interesting.
"Watching MBB shootaround as I walk--staff does a GREAT job of breaking down the game plan--if players will follow with effort we WIN"
A lot of us have been putting the blame on Mac, but sometimes motivation has to come from within. Sure, a coach must figure out how to push buttons, but sometimes player/player chemistry is tough to overcome. We need some player leadership that others respect, and the lackluster effort on shootaround before the Duke game was indication, there is definitely some focus/chemistry issues.

There, this "yahoo" poster provided some clarification.
