Good work to their staff. As to the presser, solid presser by Boals.

Probably nothing as these kids are students first, athletes second. Assuming they had class obligations, but I would have expected a few more faces. Area for concern or making a mountain out of a mole hill?

Area for concern or making a mountain out of a mole hill? Often in these circumstances, the coach will meet the media shortly after meeting with players, so many are just down the hall and will join him. Boles noted that he will hold his initial meeting with the players this afternoon. I would expect that some had classes, others might not have known about the presser. Tend to think this isn't a biggie... Back to Top .

If that is the case, asked purely to make Schaus uncomfortable. I'm assuming you'd rather he ask this in a one-on-one setting rather than the presser, right? I'd tend to agree. Because the question needs asked to serve his readers. I'm not sure a press conference is the best place to get a thoughtful answer to that question. Last Edited: 3/18/2019 2:04:22 PM by .

I'd like to believe that same kind of culture will be something he brings to Athens. Second, while he definitely is very business like in his approach, I loved a couple of the quick wit replies he had, particularly the 'fake news' response, followed by reasoning on why he said it. Man, I hope this works out really well. For as much as I said I didn't care if the next coach was a Bobcat, it would be really, really cool to have a former Bobcat excel as head coach.

Amen. Very contrived and lost meaning after about the 2nd press conference.

Loved it. The statement that Boals made about playing with grit. Wonderful. I already feel that the 'Cats are going to be tougher than ever under his leadership. I came away from the press conference with a feeling of hunger and Bobcat pride. The spirit of Larry Hunter was certainly in the room today, and so was the intense heart and desire to get the Bobcats back on top. I now fear for the rest of the MAC.

Either OUr guys don't understand that respect is not slouching but it is sitting up and forward (like BVP). Too many of OUr guys are slouching and expressionless. It makes me wonder if there will be more defections than we think or if it's just kids these days. I ultimately want to keep BVP, Carter, Dartis, Cowart, Murrell and Preston. If we can keep that group and add McDay and Roderick I would be happy.

If we can keep that group and add McDay and Roderick I would be happy. Since Coach Boals had just met with the team prior to the press conference, I wouldn't read much into player attendance at the presser. I also noticed the slouching, etc, in the locker room. I think it's a cultural thing with that age group today. I agree it's more professional to sit up straight and lean forward in that context. We have some communication majors, I would think they learned non verbal skills there. 😏 Back to Top Alan Swank General User Member Since: 12/11/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 7,022 Status: Offline     RE: Boals Presser    Posted: 3/18/2019 9:15:43 PM  Personally I would not have wanted that camera in that meeting.

Can't deny wanting to be a fly on the wall there, but that meeting should have been locked up.
