I found the last tweet in the below link pretty funny and dead on, although DMac deserved what he got. I will address this very subject later this week after the firing and bad loss noise has subsided:

The last tweet is stupid.  The schedule is why we're 0-5?  Really?

It's an embarrassment and I'm still infuriated. UNT just set a record for the worst loss to an FCS school. How stupidly ridiculous is that??? Now Mac gets his buyout on his contract. We made national news for all the wrong reasons. RV & Mac kicked NT square in the nuts last night.....

Yes. Really.

Scheduling Portland St. is unforgivable. RV looked at their record last year, not their personnel. He made s rushed decision because he didn't work hard enough early enough to fix an awful 2015 schedule. Remember, we didn't pay 500k for this game until January of THIS YEAR. That is extremely late for college football scheduling. He panicked, and because of that we are now in the NCAA record book.

You should never schedule an FCS capable of beating you...

especially by an NCAA record 59 points. 

This loss is as much on RV as it is on DMac. RV should have resigned or been fired right after DMac. Hopefully that happens this week to prevent a mass exit from the MGC. 

This is absolutely as much RV's fault as DMac.

I'm with you about RV's place in this mess.  The schedule is just way down the list of things wrong.

I suspect we could have played a different opponent yet the end results (loss of the game and firing of the HFBC) would have been the same.

I get that you don't want to kick a guy when he is down and he did do some positive things but let's be real here.

The guy wouldn't shut up about Iowa and his position coach NC ring at Florida. He never lost to a team that wasn't a "really good team, Brett" since he has been here.

This guy let things get SO BAD that we are paying him 3 million FREAKING dollars just to go away! Think about that, we are paying him 4 years of salary to please not work for us anymore.

I appreciate him not verbally trashing the program on the way out but Todd Dodge did the same thing and cost a lot less to get rid of. Dare I say Dodge may have been even classier when he left than McCarney?

Look, no one on Earth expected Portland St to turn it around like they have.  The AD's fault doesn't like with scheduling PSU.  The fault comes from hiring a head coach that so lost the team that we got throttled by PSU.  

That team I saw yesterday was so checked out that we would have lost to last years Texas Southern team.  When you remember that this is the SECOND STRAIGHT coach who so lost the team we had to fire him mid season, that's the cause for termination.

I just hope Coshnales can turn this thing around enough to at least be competitive from here on out.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      Yes, foolish us fans for thinking players are here in the program and loyal to the school.

      Former Drake Guard Atin Wright commits to North Texas

      It's easier for us to say it's fun since we're not the ones who have to recruit an entire new team every year, but it's honestly exciting to see how the new team is built. The max exodi of beloved players sucks, but in this new age losing guys like TP, Drez, Rubin and Aaron doesn't have to mean a several-year rebuild. Now we can "retool" and even get better. I think this year was more of a gut punch because it felt to me and many others that Rubin and Aaron were Mean Green for life. They've been the constant leaders throughout the past turnover. But even healthy we weren't the most talented team in the conference. And I trust Hodge. The past seven years Grant and Hodge have run a clean program and as much as I love the guys who have played for us, I trust Hodge and Forte will continue recruiting players who will be good representatives of the university, even if only for a year. I also agree we need two more PF's - at least one who can space the floor shooting 3's. Assuming we have at least three scholarships left, so assume we'll see another guard. I'd like to see us bring on one guy who's averaged 18PPG or more. Doesn't matter which position though it'd be a nice changeup for it to be a high scoring big man.

      The last home games of the 2023-24 school year

      Weather has become a factor in a lot of games this season. Wet spring has really made this softball season pleasant. Feel like we had several 90+ degree games last season.

      SB vs Wichita State (4/26)

      Here's what the conference tournament would look like if it started today. Finished 2nd or 3rd is the difference between having to win just two games in two days, or four games in four days. Wednesday, May 8 - First Round Game 1: No. 5 Wichita State vs No. 8 South Florida - 10 a.m. (ESPN+) Game 2: No. 4 Tulsa vs No. 9 UTSA - 1 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 3: No. 6 UAB vs No. 7 East Carolina - 4 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 4: No. 10 Memphis vs No. 3 North Texas - 7 p.m. (ESPN+) Thursday, May 9 - Second Round Game 5: Winner WSU/USF vs Winner Tulsa/UTSA - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 6: Winner UAB/ECU vs Winner Memphis/UNT - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Friday, May 10 - Semifinals Game 7: Winner WSU/USF/Tulsa/UTSA vs No. 1 FAU - 12 p.m. (ESPN+) Game 8: Winner UAB/ECU/Memphis/UNT vs No. 2 Charlotte - 2:30 p.m. (ESPN+) Saturday, May 11 - Championship Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs Winner Game 8 - 11 a.m. (ESPN2)

      Yes, win 2 of 3 in Charlotte and should be at least Top 2. If we do that and there's a three-way tie for first at 19-8, I'd imagine we'd take the top spot because we'd be 4-2 vs. the field, FAU 3-3, and Charlotte 2-4 in that hypothetical. Thanks! Wasn't able to watch that game, just kept up on Twitter.
