Message: [QUOTE="MadNY3, post: 3922030, member: 441"] I just (finally) watched the press conference on YouTube. First, I have not been an Axe fan for the majority of his reporting days, but in the past 18 months, he’s growing on me. Writing tough articles stating what we are thinking and not being a homer. So I’ve become a semi-supporter. The intent of the question was probably waaayyy better than the question itself. Axe completely Culpeppered it (4th down spike reference). He should have had a far tighter question versus the rookie-esque cross between a hardball question and a softball throw. Dino wanted nothing to do with it and his level of media saviness was deflected without much effort, but unmistakable contempt. The first five minutes felt like Babers went to the Boeheim school of local news press conferences. Babers has created a semi-collision of idealism. He speaks of Ohana and commradeness, but closes off the community and the press from how he staunchly limits practice to the press and the fans..all while personally being seemingly on a third of all local business ad campaigns. He has manufactured a feel like he’s part of the community but really walls it off, overly relying on wins and losses or a surprise element. He’s now made it all on him to produce this season. The Jenga-ness of the landscape has once again moved with Texas and Oklahoma, so the Coach Mac-desired patience has officially ended. Hopefully this season leads to 500 or better and he can then grow to fuse the community with the team versus staying too loyal to his Army-brat upbringing that seems to be governing his macro leadership issues. Gotta win. And at least, not lose in September more than once. Or it will get unfortunate for everyone. Literally. [/QUOTE]
