Very Mark Hudspeth-esque.

He'll get humbled in the 4 conference games that UNC loses, though.

I imagine he gave this quote while sipping on a Shiraz...

if the kitchen is too hot.... be a UNCcheater and run

Just remember you’re talking about a school that created an entire fake curriculum in order to cheat athletes of a legitimate education so they could practice more to make the coach and ad more money.

They don’t do adversity well.

Im disappointed in Mack though. He had a chance to advocate for App as well as unc to the media but instead chose to whine and punch down

To be a devils advocate,, don't we say something similar when FCS schools come in swinging with nothing to lose for a chance at FBS scalp..

That said, I hope Mack Brown doesn't gatekeep App from future scheduling. Wasn't he the head coach for App before going P5?

Hey, my brother-in-law took some of those fake classes, and he was not an athlete, so the fake classes are ok you know.

Apps in state matchups have been key in growing the local fan base. Suggesting that it’s bad for the kids avoids having to say it’s good for the ones being excluded.

None of us are refusing to schedule FCS teams as a matter of “principle.”

Well, funny you say that...I admit we've done it before

I understand your point, but it’s a bit different too. You’re comparing games between two FBS teams with 85 scholarship players versus a game between two different divisions, one with 85 scholarship players and one with 63 scholarship players.

Ehh, when it comes to the scheduling both sides are understandable to an extent. If you're UVA for example, why would you want to play JMU when it's such a risky move and you could just schedule either an easier win or a game that isn't as harmful to the perception of the pecking order in the state if you lose? Still though, even though we can understand it we're still gonna call them chicken **** for being scared to schedule us for 40 years while they alternate playing Richmond and W&M every year.

It is a dbag move though to play the game and then belittle the opponent afterwards when they give you a great game the way Mack Brown did. It's one thing for fans to talk about how much more motivation one team has than the other and how in reality they don't think Marshall actually is barely better than Albany or UNC actually is barely better than App State, but it's another for the coach to go say it publicly.

Especially in a case like UNC/App where it's total BS. Yeah App wants to come in and show they belong in the discussion for top football program in the state, and UNC should want to go out and show App doesn't belong on their level there. And you just lost to them in 2019 and went down to the wire with them last year. Your guys should have zero issues taking that game seriously and getting up for it. I've played sports all my life and some of the best motivation I've ever had is when someone who I don't think is on my level thinks they are.

Typical UNC bull .

Mack Brown is old school and the way he speaks is old school. Regardless of what school of thought, no real coach is going to let that rhetoric get to them

I don’t. I respect quality FCS programs.

You end the narrative by refusing to perpetuate it. Mack just perpetuated it and threw a program he used to coach under the bus in the process. <- Mack, not you.

App was favored in the first game, so actually a lot of people thought we'd win. I'm shocked Mack even made this comment. It reads like something off of a message board, and will add fuel to the "UNC is scared to play App" argument. I thought these games would earn us a little respect from UNC, but it looks like just more back handed complements. They know the truth about our program, whether they admit it or not. Onward!

In a way be happy that your in-state P5s will even schedule you.

South somehow found a way to get Auburn to play them next year and I'm not sure how it came about. It's going to be the 2nd only meeting of Auburn vs in-state G5 team. They used to play jax st. but probably won't anymore. The Crimson Whine have never done it.

Mack Brown is too old to be humbled.

Yeah, That's still a mystery.

Well, there definitely wasn't any pressure on ole Mack in these types of games when he was at App. He followed the disaster known as Mike "ASU Football Ain't" Working and winning half of our SoCon games was a big accomplishment. The Yosef Club had about 300 members and a great crowd was 15K. Times have changed and you better believe Shawn feels A TON of pressure to win them. App Nation expects a win every time our boys walk out on to the turf. Regardless of logo on the helmets across the field.
