Nicknames like water bottle and coach care bear are way more lame than writing hcmm.
I'm with you on the SEC crap. Thanks!

The biggest problem with the calls today was timing and play calls leading up to the 4th down plays. For example on the 4 yard line in 3rd quarter. HCCM eleacted to go for it on 4th down when they were down 14..... Great I am ok with it. What I am not ok with is if you know you are gonna go for it on 4th why on earth are we calling fades on 3rd down? If you know you are going for it you call a run on 3rd down or screen or something that at minimum gets you half the way there. It opens up the playbook a hell of a lot more than 4th and 4-5 with no threat of a run or QB sneak. Also on fake punt fine call a fake but why the hell did you run to short field? Why not call a fake earlier in 3rd when we were punting from the 40-50 instead of from the ****in 19. I am ok with fakes and going on 4th but for gods sake you gotta play downs 1-3 totally different if you are goin! And pick your spot for a fake.
HaLk was coach care bear, try to keep up...that moniker is probably6 years old now.

I'm calling you out for not just typing out Southeast Conference.

I was referencing some video (CSU game?) where MacIntyre is wearing a wrist band that said "Care" and pointed to it while addressing the team saying "Care guys, Care".
Unlike some, I'm still in evaluation mode and that was the first time I said "uh-oh, I'm not feeling that.." and the 2nd was the damn fake punt.
I don't actually want "Coach Care Bear" to catch on - I'm just venting. The fact that reference reminds you of Hawkins is a scary thought...
Also, I appreciate shorthand, but HCMM is definitely SEC douche-bag vernacular. DBT has a point - Mac is easier to type.
Fair enough....
EB, is that you?

Coaches are doing what they can. But we are bringing the proverbial knife to a gunfight in the PAC 12. And it is a butter knife. A plastic one at that. The good news? Last year we were fighting with a spork. If we can beat Cal I will be happy with the season. Sadly to say, losing by 24, but knowing they other team had to keep their starters in to beat us by that feels better (growth wise) than losing by 30 last year when the starters would be on the bench halfway through the second quarter. I see improvement. I wish it could be faster improvement. But....have to give MM time. JE apologists said he needed more time, but he proved he was NOT the right person for the job. So far I think MM is in the plus category and has shown that we can improve.
I think a huge thing we have to do is get a JC or HS huge talent WR in here ASAP. Sell them on 'You can be the new PRich for us. We need to play someone with huge talent right away.' Without that next year I am fearful of how bad we could be (unless we once again can get one or two huge OL guys and the rest of the OL guys get a whole lot bigger and better).
QB sneak, every down.
"Mac" is so over-used to refer to any coach whose name starts with that sound. We've also got so many threads about McCartney and the CSU guy who also go by "Mac". I mostly started using it for clarity. I do use "Mac2" sometimes. "Mac1" is the Hall of Famer. And the CSU guy is "Sparkles". But, frankly, I don't spend enough time on SEC boards or talking to SEC guys to have their vernacular resonate with me to cause any sort of reaction. So I usually use HCMM. I don't use the "HC" thing for anyone else, though. My favorite moniker is "HaLk".
I agree with the fake punt and I also agreed with going for it on fourth down on the goal line. 1st we have nothing else to really lose. 2nd I think the coach is giving the players an opportunity to prove themselves and get something done(that's not working out). 3rd In that situation at that point in the game down by 14, on their 1 yard line, we need touchdowns not field goals.
Was not big on the play calling on those four downs. Run up the middle 3 times then a roll out???
OUR OL is PATHETIC...should have been able to get a yard.

I usually go with MikMac, but to each their own...I do remember some doozies for HaLk, DII Danny, Coach Care Bear, the pigeon...mocking his sorry bowl cut was very nearly an Olympic sport for a while. Klatt called him a Janet Reno look a like one day on the radio, I nearly caused an accident laughing.

Sorry, I don't really care what people use and am not trying to police it. I was just frustrated with MacIntyre and the HCMM thing just hit a nerve for some reason...
I don't think the kids were all that outmatched (e.g. Oregon) on Sat night. We actually did a halfway decent job on Carey (maybe at the expense of turning Denker in Mariota) and the Oline held up better than I anticipated. Down 14 (or 11) with an ton time I would have been content to play out the string like a normal team. We've been so thirsty for solid fundamental play from the kids and we're actually starting to get it. When MacII (haha) failed to deliver what I believe to be solid fundamental coaching I wanted to pull my hair out.
