WCU football is cursed. My neighbor who was there in the Bob Waters era continues to remind me how they treated him towards the end before he passed away. He says we are cursed, and we will never do anything in football. I try to be positive but I’m starting to think he’s 100% correct. Oh well, on to round ball I guess Your neighbor may be right. I was gone when Coach Waters got sick but from things I heard, he was not treated well.

Had a good year and a good run. Should be better next year. Best team Western has had in over 30 years. Sun will come up tomorrow. True, but they have to stop crapping the bed against teams that they should beat,, especially with things like playoff bids on the line. That is what ticks me off more than anything about this team.

We are very talented but still very young. They will be older and wiser next year. Had a good year.

I have several friends that I speak with regularly from that time frame to continue to tell me how awful it was what School did to him and swear by the curse.

That's why Brody is the back up. He's got the mindset of a high school player that still thinks he can just tuck the ball and take off for 15 yards. Any decent QB at this level knows he's got to take a shot down field on that 4th and 15 play. He belongs in DivII and would do well at a Mars Hill or Lenoir-Rhyne. He's not at the level to play here at WCU. He's way too small and a weak arm. He throws floaters and is a check-down QB. Cole Gonzalez would have won this game. I agree. Brody is a D 2 player he should never play FCS ball. He is not a FCS QB With all due respect, you do not know that. You are entitled to your opinion, but Brody looked great sometimes today and not so great other times during the game. Also, he is a 19 year old kid and in my opinion, as grown men, we should not be that negative toward these kids. Just my opinion. You are entitled to yours.

I have several friends that I speak with regularly from that time frame to continue to tell me how awful it was what School did to him and swear by the curse. Part of that might be true but Coach Waters was basically on a stretcher or in a wheel chair at the very end of his tenure as coach and he forced the Universities hand and because Of that whatever Western did was going to make Western look bad. I had already graduated and I heard that they offered him a position so that he could stay employed but he turned it down and refused to step down. He was as everyone’s says a great person and did a lot for Western but he was getting to the end of a terminal illness and refused to bow out gracefully and frankly he forced Western to remove him as coach. Of course the media latched onto that and blamed Western for the whole thing. I might be wrong, but I don’t know what else we could have done under the circumstances.

Next year they won't sucker me in like they did this year. I'll wait until they are in the playoffs BEFORE I get excited about WCU football. I guess that a winning season, or back-to- back winning seasons is something.
