One more thought - receivers playing time should not be based on class seniority but on “production”.

We could easily be 0-4 going into conference play.
It was so obvious that Cole was not on his game today, and we have 3 other very good QBs, I think that after the 2d or 3rd interception, I'd have given Jefferson Boaz a shot at it.
Actually I'd have started a new QB at the start of the second quarter. Something's up, when we don't have even 1 offensive touchdown.

My money is on TN obliterating NC State tonight… You certainly called that one.

I'm just curious is it to late to drop the 4th game with Montana on our schedule and maybe replace it with Mars Hill or a Div. II or a NAIA school ??

I can’t wait to go to Montana in a couple of weeks and see us get ‘eaten alive’ by the Griz. I hope at least the weather holds out a couple of days so we can go to Glacier National Park for a couple of days.
It seems like no matter what happens, this program can never get over the hump. There were a lot of Alumni there yesterday that I haven’t seen in 20 years and we choke as usual. All we hear is fundraising, fundraising, but every time we have an opportunity to do something we fail. People in the Administration always wonder why most of our Alumni, with means, have season tickets to Clemson, UT, UNC, etc. You saw it yesterday. If you are going to spend five to seven figures a year, go somewhere you are getting a return on your investment.
The Alumni roll into Cullowhee excited and they see virtually the same Athletic facility that was there in 1975. Then they ask, why is the Campus so nice and the football stadium so awful. We all know the answer, every five years when they come to Cullowhee we lose to Campbell, Mars Hill, or insert some Charter School. I know this page is for blowing sunshine up people’s rear end, but at some point you have to be realistic.
That said, I hope this team has the fortitude to right the ship. I do appreciate the effort Coach Bell and staff has made to the program, but this program needs that extra 10% to climb over the hump.

I've got nothing on WCU's Athletics website...CatamountSports.com...this morning on yesterday's game. Anyone else have that problem?

I guess they are to embarrassed to post anything about that disaster. Nothing has been put on the official web site about the loss, they can't figure out how to put lipstick on that pig...

I don't think those count for playoff wins Barring a miracle I don't think we have to worry about playoffs. Given that Elon destroyed NC Central yesterday it looks to me that we will be 0-4 to start and our conference history when games really mean something is pretty bad. We always manage to lose at last two or three conference games so we could end up a mediocre 6-6 or even worse if we have a couple wtf losses as we often do.

I for one am not hitting the panic button just yet. I have faith in Coach Bell that he will make necessary changes and get things right.
Yes, we played poorly yesterday. We weren't prepared, and we didn't finish drives.
But Coach Bell is the same guy in year one who won four conference games right after the disaster that the program was in from Coach Spier. This team will come together and things will start to click.
We all want The Cats to win every game, but the most important ones are conference games. Could we go 0-4 out of conference? I'd say it's a possibility. But look at UTC and and Furman....they are both 0-2 right now as well.
The preseason "favorites" are all in the same situation for the SoCon. We will see who can pull things together
