WT Football

[WT_TKW]

WOU had 50 o4 45 yards of TOTAL offense. If that's the result, changes in the offensive starting lineup need to be made, like all of them, O-line, receivers, QB, RB. That's little league b.s. It's college football. WOU is the one that elected to play in a Texas league, no fans were demanding it. Can't make the travel excuse, the program signed up for this. Starting lineup needs to be changed on offense.

I expect them to rebound. WT had bad showings after beating up on NAIA teams. That’s basically where Sul Ross is now.

That was a much better showing than I expected. The defense played well, finally getting an interception. The offense was more diverse with Hibler redeeming himself from his buffoonery last week. We even got some field goals, though only short ones. Sean Johnson reminded us that he’s an amazing athlete but shouldn’t be throwing the ball.

However WOU was riding high over a big win and knew we were blown out against CWU. They didn’t expect to be playing a decent team. Also the long trip may have been a factor. Yesterday I traveled to Vancouver and trust me, I was really tired.

WT is still making way too many mistakes. The 4th and 1 near the goal line became 4th and 6 because the play clock ran out (or was it 10 men on the field?). We had more than 1 of each penalty. Players on the field during Johnson’s long run, etc etc…

So you release the dogs on Lynn if WT loses to ENMU or MSU? Sounds good.

So, it looks as if WT will finish 3rd or 4th this season. Maybe pull a surprise and finish higher?

i gather I was wrong about WT being mediocre. 😏

4th place is nothing to brag about.

Looks like WT finally broke the Western Oregon curse with a convincing 35-7 win.

WT appears to have improved overall with the more competitive losses against Mines and Western Colorado.

I am giving the Central Washington game a pass since they appear to be much better than last year demolishing every D2 team they have played this year.

As long as they dont drop a game to any team other than UTPB and ASU (if those games are competitive), then I am calling off the dogs and pitch forks on Lynn.

I still lurk... just in mourning over how the entire University has gone to crap. Say what you want, but President O'Brien was a great president (disregard the Carthel fiasco) and ever since his departure everything has gone to a complete dumpster fire... Hope POPS you're doing well. Great White Buffalo probably went to the great pasture in the sky. Whoever posted the Let the Buffalo Run waiting on John Sharp comment had me dying... man those were fun times on this board.

GWB's still around. He's kinda drifted away from FB (who can blame him?). He's a stalwart Lady Buff BB fan.

What ever happened to Great White Buffalo and his spirit world visions?

Lynn made a good hire with the new OC. Then he countered that by promoting the DC from within. The D is a FAIL.

It may be time to start a new thread about the future WT HC search and who our AD will go after, Looking at the schedule before the season, I had the Western Oregon game at home down as a win. 3-1 odds for WT to win. Now I'd say is 3-1 for a WO win.

Maybe the OC would be the leading candidate? My advice would be to not get the QB killed before he puts his name in though.

I did too and still do think WT should beat WO.

The Mines game gave me hope that WT was close but after Chadron beat Mines at home this past weekend then its obvious both programs are much weaker than their peak.

Western Oregon should be Lynn's Alamo if they lose and join Mike Gundy in the unemployment line.

They play tough against everyone. They're a tough out for anybody.

Western Oregon is a team that if they were in the GAC, would challenge and maybe even get the #2 spot. We'll have to see what Southern Arkansas and Henderson look like this weekend to confirm that. But the LSC is just loaded this year.

Bottom line WO is a team WT should beat if the university as a whole is taking football seriously especially if WO is funding their football program at half strength.

WOU has earned my respect. They play tough and don't quit, at least against WT.

WO always has a tough defense. Their failing is usually on the offensive side compounded by stupid penalties. So... good luck!

Promoting from within is fine, but not when they were lousy at their previous job, which I believe was special teams and secondary coach. Neither was or is good. The punting looked like they hadn't practiced in a couple of weeks while the placekicking is useless. Even the extra point last week was WAY off. I don't care if the regular kicker is hurt, not having a decent backup is on the coaches.
