Steve Hale Interview

[CharlieK]

Slow down podna.. Why are you asking questions for others to answer, when you can answer them yourself? That was my point.

Podna?

Because I don't want to to invest time myself, was just curious what the hub bub was about. Can't I just be lazy and play my boomer question card and get a freaking answer? Jeez....

[CajunNation]

Niu has never made the access bowl, only boise has.

You know what I meant.

Are you telling me that if we were to run the table, we wouldn't have a shot at the Access Bowl this season?

You know we would.

[Turbine]

I AM interested. Just haven't gotten to listen to the interview. Thought maybe one of you guys could answer. Clearly yall are too agitated and defensive to just answer the question. So I retract, as it just doesn't matter to me enough.

I heard a great quote this morning against being overly defensive, I wish I could remember it.

I'm' combing my matterbase.

Nice guys huh?

He was an assistant coach here in the 90's, and he said in the interview that he developed a lot of friendships here and had a soft spot for the school and area.

[CajunNation]

Nope, and it will never have a fair opportunity. A 11-2 Boise State or Cincinnati team will always get that slot over any SBC program.

You don't know that. NIU proved that it can be done. Ignoring them won't prove your opinion.

You know what I meant.

Are you telling me that if we were to run the table, we wouldn't have a shot at the Access Bowl this season?

You know we would.

If BYU and Boise have 1 or 2 losses...we would be left out in the cold.

This string needed a chuckle........the above did it

Meanwhile at Martin Hall? Anything announced? planned announcement? I have a hunch their top pick didn't pick us.

[cajunhawk]

You don't know that. NIU proved that it can be done. Ignoring them won't prove your opinion.

NIU isn't in the Sun Belt.

[Geaux]

No, he didn't. He stated that no SBC team will run the table and make the PLAYOFF. While true, that is not what Benson said. Benson said we could run the table and make the Access Bowl slot. That is very true. Not guaranteed, but very possible. Ask NIU.

Yeah NIU did that during the BCS era when there were 8 spots to fill. Now with the CFP there are only four spots and one spot for the other 40+ G5 teams like us. Wake up people. With FCS call ups like GSU and App. State winning conference the SBC schedule will not get any credit as a respectable G5 team

[CajunT]

You know what I meant.

Are you telling me that if we were to run the table, we wouldn't have a shot at the Access Bowl this season?

You know we would.

Based upon what factors?

[CajunT]

You don't know that. NIU proved that it can be done. Ignoring them won't prove your opinion.

Different format Nation! And you know that, the rules have changed now for the FBS Championship Playoffs after they were granted separation. Again, based upon what factors?

Not quite the entire story. He also said (paraphrasing) that having been here he sees the great potential for this program if managed properly
