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. Yeah, I don’t know enough about the situation as a whole, just the stories and the accusations from a lot of those guys that went through it. I don’t know that they really had any other options as you are correct he was at the end of a terminal illness. I just keep thinking this damn curse is true and I hate it

Long bus ride back home. So much promise. Squandered away. At least we will keep Kerwin and Cade for another year. Unless they throw their hands up in disgust, as this does not help their coaching reputation

I am not as high on Kade leaving as soon as many of you are. He is a good OC but just right now good not great. I think he falls asleep at the wheel sometimes as the OC

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. Not to mention that he’d had his bell rung 30 seconds before that 4-15 play. After we pulled within three, the defense needed to get a stop and give him some time.

I think Kerwin's ego to show that he can make us into a winner will keep him here for a while. I think if Kerwin can't do it in Cullowhee no one can.

There's not even a sliver of chance we get into playoffs tomorrow right?

A glimmer of hope, but just enough to to make you upset when we get left out.

There's not even a sliver of chance we get into playoffs tomorrow right? I am certainly no expert in these things and someone else may think differently.It might take a lot of teams losing today but even with that I can't see how that is possible. Even ignoring the Arkansas loss and giving us credit for 7-3 rather than 7-4, we played too poorly in those 3 conference losses and almost lost to a winless Wofford..
