I sense the presence of Hayden Fry.

Or perhaps it was just he who used the restroom last.

They hired Hayden from SMU so only makes sense that they hire June Jones

I'd be careful, besmirching the name of the great Hayden Fry is a dangerous thing...

1977. No 17 in the nation. I remember it like it was........well......1977.

After a bad loss you hear "fire the coach now". You rarely see it though. On the Mean Green board some think he was fired before tonight's game.

Portland State had almost 700 yards of offense

Holy cow, you'd be hard pressed to convince me McCarney didn't mail this one in.

Wow, might have been fired at halftime....

I believe this represents the largest beatdown ever by an FCS program over an FBS program.

A day that will live in infamy.

....and he's fired lol

That is correct. Previous record was a 58 point loss by Penn to Lehigh back in 1981. Penn is/was non-scholarship and were forced into I-AA with the rest of the Ivy after the season.

I feel sorry for a lot of the UNT fans. Plenty of decent folks besides the ones who felt Sun Belt held them back.

Cool. Another record for the UNTs.

UNT gets to face WKU next.
Oh my...

Well, at least it wasn't their homecoming game, or something like that.

The wrong person was fired first. Should have been AD Rick Villareal first, McCarney the very next day.

You guys have long needed a new AD. Maybe this will get it done.

Same here. But with a historic beatdown like this.....everybody in FBS has to join in.

Also, from what I remember, the UNT fans were huge jerks on their way out, so I don't know why they wouldn't be made fun of.

You've got it backwards. MTSU was the huge jerks along with FIU.

That being said, CUSA is not that great of a league. They've got a couple good teams and a couple bad teams just like we do. Difference is their bad teams beat our bad teams.

I clearly remember UNT fans dogging App St before we joined the SBC on this board so I enjoyed seeing that score.

Really dude? When and how?

As I recall, stAte fans were happy to see the Florida schools leave as it was too long of a drive to Miami.

UNT has been trying to shake that commuter school mentality for years but just can't seem to do it. A majority of their students feed in from the 50+ community colleges in the DFW area so they just don't have the 'Mean Green' pride and I think that really hurts their athletic success. I know, I know...they had success but they haven't in the past few years...just seem to be going from bad to worse.

They have a beautiful stadium, nice campus and are in a great area but just can't get over the hump.
