WT Football

[BuffaloChip]

At the Bain Center roll-out I had a chance to visit with 3 coaches for quite awhile. They feel very good about the upcoming season. They believe they have addressed deficiencies from last year via in-coming transfers.

QB competition will be fierce between Cannon and Johnson. Both bring a lot to the plate. I talked at length with the QB coach Kayser. He says he likes QBs that are very mobile....and he has them now. He pointed out that last year when they got here WT had ONE QB on the roster. Now we have 2 talented ones with some experience. Also the battle for the #3 QB will most likely be between the new freshman from Celina and the freshman from Crowley. He said both are the real deal. Added 2 transfer ready-to-run RBs. Added 5 or 6 DB/safeties. 5 WRs. 2 DLs. A couple more OLs. Will probably pick up more transfers in August. According to the coaches they have been very selective on the players they have brought in. Good kids with good character. Talented but hard-working. They seem pretty confident to me.

One coach said last years OT loss to UTPB was a killer. He said it took a huge toll emotionally on the young team. Win that one, according to him, and the season would have been "flipped." I agree.

80 players currently on campus working out compared to 30-40 last summer. Retention has been very good. Attitude excellent. Work ethic in the weight room intense.

We'll see won't we?

Hypocrisy much?

You do the same thing I do by bashing Wendler but I am guessing you might pull the "its not my school" card as others have been known to do on here.

Unfortunately WT is a by proxy but not slamming the university itself just poor leadership.

Also I am guessing you are new to the internet since most posters at one point have bashed their schools for something.

Go to a Dallas Cowboys, University of Texas, or New York Yankees facebook comment section and it will make this message board look like Mr. Rogers Sunday Church.

I am new to the internet. I just logged on last week.

I'm a Big 10 alum.

I have criticized Wendler when I thought it was due and complimented him the same.

There is a generous helping of delusion on this board for sure.

This is one weird forum. Posters bashing their own schools, then bashing other schools. Then you have posters who don't even have a dog in the fight stop by to bash some random school.

Some of you clowns could use a Prozac and/or reality therapy.

If you think our message board is weird come to one of our game day tailgate events.

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

🤭😂😂😂😂😂😂

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.

You should stop by a little more often. Wendler is not a popular guy here, though he did okay hiring the new AD. The faculty gave him a vote of no confidence last year but Notso Sharp loves him so until Sharp retires next June we are stuck with Wendler.

We also noticed the football team has sucked since Don Carthel was fired, but the players GPA average is higher. 🥱

Most of us would prefer WT to be on the path that Tarleton is on but that’s not going to happen.

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.

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,

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.
