Part of it, too, is that WLU has been the bully of the league for so long that they take every team's best shot. That Fairmont team is much better than their 5-loss record for sure. But Fairmont was also capable of sleepwalking their way to a home loss against Glenville. The fact is that every team is as locked in as it's going to be when WLU walks in the gym. FSU certainly was last night. And that's what you get for being a quality program. You have to be ready to take everyone's best punch, and WLU certainly wasn't yesterday.
Kudos to IUP, though. They get the same treatment in the PSAC--taking everyone's best shot (and having to endure joyously dancing coaches when someone does finally put it together). But so far this year (as well as last year) they have been able to fend off those punches and take care of business.
But in the end, I'd rather be a fan of a quality program that has to weather the storm of everyone's best (and live with the taunts when you fail to punch back) than be a fan of an up-and-down program--like a Glenville--where you just never know what you're going to get night in and night out.
