Yeah, I just heard his comments too, but we should all have expected it. If the roles were reversed, they would be trashing us for losing to a horrible team, too. The national pundits don't watch our games and they don't follow us closely enough to see how close our guys have been to getting some great wins this year. All they see is the horrible conference record we have.
Why when we win is it supposedly all about the coaching but when we lose it is all about the players and/or bad luck? Why is this?
Completely agree. A closer look shows that we've been in most games and have gotten destroyed only a few times.
I said nowhere that this was all coaching and the players had nothing to do with it. I think these kids have been giving effort all year long, and deserve all the credit in the world too! But to say that the coach had nothing to do with it when they win, but everything to do with it when they lose is asinine!!!!!!!!! Again I implore you to stop posting until after midnight so the rest can enjoy this win as we ALL should.

A closer look would show that we're "this close" to 8 more wins. We're a dangerous team that struggled through a whole lot of adversity.
We all complained early on that the team wasn't tough enough. The only way people/teams get tougher is through tough times. The team had those aplenty, they got tougher instead of quitting, and tonight, the took down the #5 team in the country.
Impressive turnaround. Our Clones aren't weak anymore.
To get this thing back where it should be - I just poured another drink! CHEERS CYCLONE NATION!
Who has said that? Certainly, not me.
It is the hardcore GM fans that continually bemoan the luck issue and tell us "the coach doesn't play the game" when we lose and then come on here after a rare win and start pounding their chests about the great coaching.
Damn freaking straight! I'm on beer #4 with the kids asleep now, trying to party like a rock star on the interwebs. Yeah, that's right I'm that cool.
So you didn't say earlier something along the lines as "a blind squirrel can sometimes find a acorn"? How is that giving credit again to a coach??? Again let it go and disappear for another half hour.

No kidding. Its funny how many of those saying 'just enjoy the win' are at the same time making Gmac into a much better coach all of a sudden. I'm enjoying that we won but its a bit ridiculous to say this *one* game all of a sudden makes a whole lot of difference as to any fair evaluation of him.
So he had a good (even great) game. One great game is not a season, nor is one win against a ranked team in a ton of tries anything spectacular overall.
Lets see where things go from here. Is this the sign of the team finally figuring things out? (albeit probably too late in the season to matter... and with CB and MG probably gone, does it matter?) Or is this just a fluke?
It must suck to be bitter and angry ALL THE TIME.......we won tonight in case you missed it!!! Save your coach bashing for another day.
That goes for you too COCO boy!!!
A hell of a lot more people say its all about the coaching when we lose than have said it today.
