WT Football

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

WT is hemorrhaging students. Your President is a Cancer of the highest order. You can’t see the directional decline?You wanna fight me about past sports achievements? Okay, I guess we can do that. But….

Dude you were the one that fired a shot at WT unsolicited.

Yep its no secret the president sucks and no one has the power to remove him so we are stuck with the suck.

The brand is out there but do people really know or care about Tarleton outside of Texas after they see the 3 second ESPN ticker that Tech beat them by 40 points?

Being a Texas A&M-Corpus Christi grad I know my school is quickly forgotten after the march madness games.

I could "fight" you about sports because WT won several D2 national championships in different sports.

Has Tarleton outside of rodeo and cheer?

They sure as heck wont win any in D1 unless they get their football team North Dakota State level.

Now that being said yes I am jealous how Tarleton has made the jump and getting successful.

I wish WT would have made that same jump but it is what it is.

Good luck.

Half of your total posts are random comments arguing in a thread about WT years after your school moved to D1. You good bro?

Hey, we’re playing McNeese on ESPN Aug 24. We played Tech and TCU on tv. Got our asses beat for sure, but the brand got out there. We’ve got Baylor week two this year on tv, They suck, but it’s still a probable loss. Next year we play A&M. Again on tv.
That’s why D1 is a thing. Basketball too, we’ve played Gonzaga, Michigan, Arizona, etc.

Since WT leads Tarleton in the series 11-10 and reeled off an 8 game winning streak in the mid to late 2000s I'd say they had a decent one back in the day,

Oh Jeez, back in 2000 you had a team. Wow! Look at the landscape now. WT football is a shell of it what it used to be. The University is a shell of what it used to be. You still wanna talk about 2007 while Rome is burning? Hey, you do you girl.
My wife is a grad of SIU. Your current President destroyed her University. She doesn’t give two craps about sports, but she said oh crap when I told her who was WT’s President. Yeah, it’s several years into his time, but she hates that Mofo.
SIU is slowly gaining back its mojo. They have posted gains for a couple years. Wendler almost killed a once proud FCS University. Ya’ll gotta get him gone, or else. 15 years ago, Tarleton was a no better candidate than anyone in the LSC to do anything.Heck, forget the last 15, just look at the last 5 years. Enrollment, facility upgrades, etc. WT has fallen off the map of relevance in comparison. Wendler is a poisonous snake. He’s killing you. I’m sorry the Mothership doesn’t care about y’all. They absolutely know what’s up.

WT has a football team? When did that happen?

I would say a lot especially since it prevents a possible rouge.

A few years ago Winnipeg won the Grey Cup with Sergio accounting for over half the points, including a rouge. That 1 point came into play in the second half (I don't remember the details and the box score link is dead). Winnipeg eventually won by 8.

After that season, Sergio was offered more money by a different team so he left. Now he's back in Winnipeg but they are having a lousy season. I'm very unimpressed with their QB and told Sergio he needs to get Keith Null a tryout.

What is a 60 yard FG worth in the US after currency exchange?

In the Canadian version, you have to kick it over a moose.

I would love to hire our former OC but I’m sure he makes more than our head coach.

Update: maybe not, he was successful at ACU but now he’s a head coach.
