Liveblogging the Mack Brown press conference – KSU
Posted by HenryJames on October 1st, 2007 under Football
It’s like someone died in here. Someone’s title chances anyway. Cleve Bryant has adopted an adversarial stance against the media and is dressed like Professor Griff of Public Enemy. Bill Little weeps silently in the corner.
General comments.
We are not used to losing around here and especially not like that.
We’re 5-3 in our last 8 games. You’d be surprised what we’ve gotten used to.
We’ve said since day one that coaches lose games, kids win games and that one goes back to me and us.
The press gasps. Suzanne Halliburton of the Statesman screams and then faints. Why does Brown hate naivete?
We have to be positive about the things we did well and make sure we correct the mistakes that were obvious.
God grant Mack the serenity to accept the things he cannot change, the courage to change the things he can and the wisdom to know the difference.
On the second half.
It seems like every time the kids would come back, there would be something that Kansas State would do to take it away and again give them credit for that.
‘It’s called acting coaching!’
On what he needs to do.
What you do when you lose, you go back and look at everything.
Greg Davis comes in to answer questions. The press places Kirk Bohls and Ed Clements in the back of the room to force Davis to answer questions underneath. Davis won’t look at the reporters in the center of the room and seems befuddled. He looks horizontally to his left and right for help. He begins to give a series of short answers, but the press has seen this before. They begin to finish his sentences for him. He looks at a sheet of paper in his hand that has a list of answers, but the reporters have changed their questions.
Davis will spend the offseason coming up with new answers.

wiseguys and sharps are synonymous. They move the lines because they know more than the books for the most part. Call them insiders.

Triston. I doubt if it takes Kentucky off of Selby’s list. But while Wall and Bledsoe played well together, how would Knight, Selby, and Bledsoe play together? Kansas could be a very strong possibility for Selby.

Nice press conference…there went 25 mintues of my life I’m not getting back. Big elephant in the room that no one would dare to mention…lets talk about traditions of the OU game and how neither thinks about the possibility of being 0-2 in conference.

Have they discussed whether or not they will allow our DBs to be within 500 feet of Malcom Kelly this week? Or will they sit at a Applebee’s in Frisco and enjoy the game?

Brown did say that the $25,000 Bellmont spends watching the internet is focused on barkingcarnival.com. And other than his desire to try a Fletcher’s at the Fair, I thought that was the most enlightening moment of the PC.

I gave up listening when Mack ran out of material. Things weren’t funny anymore.
But when we recently started competing for the Fulmer Trophy and Brown’s skin began to turn thin again, almost to 2003 post-Black Saturday levels, I started tuning back in for comedic relief.

“We have to be positive about the things we did well and make sure we correct the mistakes that were obvious.”
So we are going to positive about Quan, I guess. Then we are going to correct the other 21 players and special teams, replace Davis, Akina, MacDuff, Mad Dog and Mack this week? Sounds like Belmont is going to be a busy place.
Glad to hear that we are going to correct all these things so soon. I thought we were going to have to wait years to correct these obvious mistakes.

Get rid of all the coaches, but don’t fucking touch Madden. There’s something insanely fascinating about watching a morbidly obese man, with 25 lbs. of gold around his neck, attempt to run from the tunnel without drawing a flat line before he reaches the sideline.

I stopped listening to Mack last year when at the boy scout fundraising gala the week after last year’s Kansas State game he went on a completely uncalled for slam on fans — people in the room giving money to the boy scouts, most Texas fans, and he starts spouting off about how he and the coaches decided not to make the road trip because it was too far, too cold and at night, how he turned the game off at half, sent himself a scathing email, then had to bite his tongue as he responded to himself, etc., etc. (the whole thing was his joking way of saying we’re just piss poor fans and this is his job).
The guy is worthless in front of a camera, his OC is even more worthless anywhere near a football field, and worse yet, they’re both untouchable.
