I know most on here don't like App being brought up on here but if you want a good laugh check out Twitter. Tonight App lost to Marshall and boy you can tell thier fans are not used to losing. They are calling for the coach, AD, and chancellor To be fired.

It's pretty nice to see their fans have to eat some humble pie...

I have no idea whether this is just a down year for them or the beginning of a trend. A strange year. They played lights out, above their heads, against UNC and TAMU and then lost in the Sunbelt to some bad teams. I think this is the first year that they will not be Bowl eligible. So they will not get an invite to the TiDy Bowl in Lower Timbuktu Alabama this year. If they start off slow next year, their fans will insist that the Chancellor, their BOT, the BOG, all professors and the coaching staff along with the janitorial staff for Kidd Brewer be fired mid-season. Since they left the SoCon, their fans have become even more delusional if you can believe that. It is funny to read their board. Also, if they have a couple down years, I wonder how many of the band wagon fans will jump ship. They need to just about sell out every game just to pay off their loans and pay the bills. They are not built financially for down years. They are due for some down years. Happens to every team. All we have known at Western is down years so we are experts in down years. Lol. One day, we will turn it around though. At least that is what I keep telling myself.

I hope they have a long, long downward trend in football.
It couldn't happen to a more deserving fan base. They've lived high on the hog for far too long, and made fun of and ridiculed way too many other fanbases for far too long, it's past time they eat some humble pie (at least for the next 10 to 12 years)!!!!

One day, we will turn it around though. At least that is what I keep telling myself. unfortunately if they win their last 2 games they will be bowl eligible. They are currently 5-5 with a home game this weekend against ODU and away against Ga Southern. They will need to win both to be eligible as they have 2 wins against FCS teams ( Citadel and Robert Morris).

They will need to win both to be eligible as they have 2 wins against FCS teams ( Citadel and Robert Morris). So if they win their last 2, they will be 7-5 which gives them only 5 wins against FBS competition which would mean they will be 1 short because you have to have 6 wins against FBS to be bowl eligible I think.

That is correct. You have to have 6 wins, but you can only count one FCS win towards bowl eligibility. With that being said, even if they win out, they will not be bowl eligible.

Nope they will be Bowl eligible if they win out, they will have 7 wins of which only 1 FCS will count, so they would be 6-5 taking out 1 FCS win, so unfortunately they would be Bowl eligible if they win out!! ODU will certainly be a tough game this Saturday and the final at Ga Southern, which has been their biggest rival for 20 years or more will not be easy.
