Hart/Jones in NYC Tonight

[Stallion]

Thank God we weren't in a strong conference this year like the Missouri Valley Conference (D-1AA)

[Treadway21]

Did he mark Tulsa, who was knocking on top 25 before we upset them, as a win?

Probably not. Until he had to win it to get to Hawaii. ; )

[PonySnob]

Austin Kilgore is tweeting some highlights. Among them jj reiterating that Tulane was the only game we lost that he had marked as a win

Sure JJ is relieved that 5-7 can get you to a bowl game in the future.......

I wonder which games he had marked as a loss?

[PonyKai]

So then per June's own words, after five years, 150+ recruited players, five classes, and countless extra bowl practices and championship game practices, and half a dozen QBs later, he had Rice penciled in as a loss? Jeez don't trip over the bar you set June.

In other words, LB aspires for his team to be like Georgetown while JJ aspires for his team to be like NTCC?

[Digetydog]

I give up, did he ?

Yes. But, his comments were more in the nature of sure wins.

His presentation was interesting and generally good. He didn't anger me and I was mad before the meeting.
1) He made a compelling argument that the Hawaii Bowl is the best non-BCS bowl from a player's point of view,
2) he said Hart was making great changes to improve the program, and
3) he pointed out the number of Mustangs getting drafted this year would exceed some big programs like UT.

All in, I was pleasantly surprised. He took some tough questions and had good responses.

[SoCal_Pony]

Did anyone ask about the lack of diversity on his coaching staff and its impact on recruiting?

The contrast to LB is so apparent now.

Was JJ or Hart asked ANY tough questions?

Digetydog, can you tell us what tough questions were asked?

How many top coaches actually mark games down as losses before the season?

Exactly.

Truly pathetic.

A lot of them were about recruiting and what changes need to be made to improve things. Getting into specific questions and answers is not really fair because some of his answers were confusing.
- For example, I took his Tulane comment as an admission that it was a bad loss - not that Rice was a sure loss. He clearly thought we should have beaten TCU.

Thanks

On recruiting---did he acknowledge changes needed to be on his end? Did he just reiterate that the school is not athlete major friendly rather than say he was going on the recruiting trail? I am hoping he was encouraging on his going after recruits this year.
