Steve Hale Interview

[CajunNation]

NIU isn't in the Sun Belt.

Right, and NIU's SOS is probably going to be less than ours after the season. The MAC SOS blows chunks my friend. Just like the SBC.

NIU made the Orange Bowl because they got ranked and Boise had 2 losses. That could happen to us.

[CharlieK]

I don't wanna argue with you...or try to convince you...Hale will do that himself.

You will never convince me that the Seahawks shouldn't have run the ball. So don't even argue.

[CajunRebel]

Now Hammer...you know that doesn't fit CajunRebel's seed planting technique. He is still trying to paint Hale as a bubba hire.

No, actually I was just trying to answer Charliek's question after I saw that everyone else opted to to give him snarky responses in lieu of an actual answer.

[CajunNation]

Only if the MWC or AAC champ has 2 or more losses.

Yeah, your point?

Unless we are in the MWC or the AAC, this will be the case. Any school from CUSA, the MAC, or the SBC will have to grapple withj this. Boise had 2 losses the year NIU made the Orange Bowl.
That could very well be us this year.

[CrazyCajun]

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.

Have a shot? Maybe... But a 2 loss boise gets it over us. A 1 maybe 2 loss AAC gets it over us. A 1 loss MAC gets it over us.... They would look for anyone to give it to besides a SBC school. I would include CUSA in that as well. A 2 loss Boise gets in lastvyear even if marshall would have went undefeated. I mean technically I have a shot at being the next US president.

[cajunhawk]

You will never convince me that the Seahawks shouldn't have run the ball. So don't even argue.

I would never convince anyone of that...dumb idea...Darrell Bevel should be shot.

[CajunRebel]

Haha they are definitely passionate about this. That's cool, but you not gonna win a war with only fundamentalists and you not gonna grow your cause overacting to any question.

That makes sense...I bet many on this board have left money on the table by working here in Lafayette instead of Houston or Dallas or elsewhere just because of a love for the area.

I'll try to listen to the interview tonight.

It is a really good interview. Hale is a smart guy with good insights.

[CrazyCajun]

Yeah, your point?

Unless we are in the MWC or the AAC, this will be the case. Any school from CUSA, the MAC, or the SBC will have to grapple withj this. Boise had 2 losses the year NIU made the Orange Bowl.
That could very well be us this year.

Except we can't beat an 11-1 ranked conference mate in the championship game to end the year..: best case we beat a 6-6 Troy team

[cajunhawk]

No, actually I was just trying to answer Charliek's question after I saw that everyone else opted to to give him snarky responses in lieu of an actual answer.

Or you saw an some tilled soil and decided...let me drop a seed here...and continue on my merry way.

[CharlieK]

It is a really good interview. Hale is a smart guy with good insights.

That's what I have gathered. That's what made me curious about being so interested in a job, especially now that it's obvious that he will be rowing upstream against the people who he is supposed to be helping. He must REALLY like the area.....and a challenge.

So where does this thread stand compared to the flood thread? I'm doing my part....need the Bandwagon King to kick this thing into another level.
