I don't think so, but you could be right. He seems like he puts on being an overly serious guy in these press conferences. The badly suppressed smile seems way out of character for him, to me. And even more specifically on the question about this topic.

I don't personally know the guy, only what I've seen from his interviews and press conferences. I've only interacted with him once. Maybe someone who knows him personally can weigh in.

He’s good at other things.

I think we're close, but less convinced TP knows and tipped his hand after watching it.

It is possible we are one of 2 or 3 candidates under discussion by MW. The recent quasi denial by Gloria was interesting. She essentially said the press/media reports were inaccurate.

Where did she say that? She said you can’t believe everything you read which is a great no answer answer that means exactly nothing.

A Bohl Press conference comes to mind… he was asked about how the defense is preparing for an upcoming FBS opponent, and his reply was something like, “Yeah we’ve got a pretty good idea of what they’re going to do…” and he had this knowing smirk on his face… kinda like, I know something you and they don’t know…

This one just seemed like he was amused by the situation, the irony of a reporter asking him something that he would hear from them… kinda like a “you tell me…”

But yeah. I hope you’re right and who knows…

This Gloria stuff is news to me…

Gloria is probably McMurphy's source, he has had everything so far with MWC. That isn't just some kind of accident.

She just said "don't believe everything you read", to radio guy in Hawaii. He asked about NIU and Toledo seeming to back away.

I think the goal is to get 2 schools in the CST zone, most likely as football only.

There are a number of schools they are talking to. I think you certainly have as much of chance as anybody.

Agreed. This was designed to nudge things along.

You think Gloria stooped to the level of bluffing an FCS school instead of just delivering an ultimatum? Lol

Why bring up NDSU at all? Spreading rumors about an FCS school seems like kind of a weak move?

Maybe. We don't know if she mentioned NDSU, specifically or just said she was also looking at another school and McMurphy assumed it was NDSU. That is a logical assumption.
