Thought I would tune in to the WCU game while completing some work. Pull up watchESPN, about 2 minutes left in the first, I looked at the score.... I actually laughed. I was really disappointed in our team before, but this is just pitiful. We had our share of issues last year for sure, but holy cow. I figured that if Speir could keep us at 6-8 wins and pull people into the stands, that was probably good enough for WCU. This, however, is embarrassing.
Everyone wants to know why we can't pull in money to support our team like some other schools, but honestly, why would you want to support this? It's not just some lack of talent. This team is fundamentally garbage. Money doesn't teach tackling or blocking. In 2014 it looked like our football program had turned a corner, but I guess we turned around and sprinted back to where we started.

The crowd there is chanting "we want a hundred" Our secondary is lost. I know we are playing zone but we are just standing there and when they catch the ball be try to hit them without wrapping up. Are they taught to play that way? At this pace, the score will be 140-0. We can't stop them. Did Tyrie get hurt or did he get benched? I know he had a chest injury but I wonder if we took him out. I say let some of the other guys play that want to play. The coaches should have prepared the O and the D better than this. I can hear Speir now in the post game apologizing for the team and blaming himself but that does not feed the bulldog. We know it is his fault and he needs to kick some ass to get this turned around. Chattanooga will score 200 points on this defense if they want to.

Of all of our poor play, the OL is terrible to be such highly rated. Five games into season is proof.

Chattanooga will score 200 points on this defense if they want to. We all know it's Speir's fault - his and his assistant coaches apparent lack of coaching ability and skill. He should do the honorable thing and after this game announce he's leaving the program at the end of the season. That would give Randy time to find a decent head coach for next season, but the chances of this happening is ZERO. Speir is in over his head, his OC and DC are totally lost, but the HC will not make a move. I told you guys last season, this would happen, this HC will not take the program to a conference championship or the playoff, he's lucky to stay middle of the pack in the conference.

Chattanooga will score 200 points on this defense if they want to. I have figured out our strategy. We are letting them get ahead and overconfident so that when we come roaring back they will not know what hit them. What is the record for the biggest comeback in sports? :-)

There are allot of factors and besides coaching, funding is also a big part of it. Speir might not be the coach to take us to the playoffs, but he has improved our lot substantially and lets not forget that.

I can’t wait to hear the coaches and the fans of the coaches on here making excuses after this game. No more excuses win some damn games. No team in America will win if you give up 35 a game much less in the first quarter. The coaches and players both should be embarrassed by this effort. I guarantee we will see no more wins this year. The team has given up. The coaches on the defense side all need to be replaced. I don’t care if they did come from championship schools like app or jmu. They all need to go. I am embarrassed by this team and it has been a long time since I said that but it is true

I remember where we used to be. We will improve. Nobody is getting fired right now and it is ridiculous to suggest that will happen. I am not happy and I think much work needs to be done. The good thing about Freshmen is that they become sophomores. I have noticed that Speir will have 2 good years and a year or 2 when they are down. Better than 30 years of down years.
