Sleep seems out of the question for me right now. If PJ didn't do all the goofy stuff, he could still have gotten the community involved. But that video this week made me question everything. I feared this when he was hired and I really hoped I was wrong. This is such a low and I don't have a dog to kick.

I'm afraid to try and say how I feel. Pathetic.

For one final kick in the cajones, glanced at my Facebook News Feed and found "Go Bluuuueee!" posted by the usual Walmarters.

DB, I find it amusing that people think you wanted WMU to fail... PJ winning and moving on was best case for you and now, well I think you feel worse than those who think PJ will turn it around. They atleast have some blind faith to fall back on.

I was dead serious about reverting to My 20"s and becoming a Big Ten fan. I don't have enough time left to wait out Western football.

What video are you talking about?

Yeah, I was actually fine with Fleck until (a) 'Row the Boat' became so all-encompassing and added RTB/oar flair on the unis, and (b) the video you mention (and of course the worst loss in how many years). I know it's still a bit early to fully judge the man, but I have my doubts to put it mildly.

Yep... But it was my twitter feed. And it was David Kool. Fml......

Kimbo, I'm right there at the same spot. Feel drug hazed but haven't touched a thing tonight.

Still can't believe that this is NOT all a nightmare and we'll wake up and be relieved.

Our NEW Traditions video. Just goto youtube and you will find it. Have fun will probably make your night. Unless you are just making fun of us which you have every right to after tonight. It one thing to talk and win but a whole other thing to talk and lose.

It's 2 am here and I have not even thought about bed. I stayed until the bitter end because I wanted to burn that loss into my memory. I think I need to start praying for PJ to think about the old AA prayer thing.

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.

This is brutal. I blame Dunn and KB.

I agree now. I am not looking forward to seeing KB anytime soon. I have been real positive to her about PJ, not sure if I can hold my tongue next time. I really started to buy in after watching the team practice especially the tempo. But many of the drills seemed to make no sense. I am starting to think back and they rarely spent too much time on one thing which might be our problem.

We're piling on a rookie HC in his second game doing something totally brand new that he has never done before. He just suffered the biggest humiliation possible in his first home game. He made mistakes today and I think they cost us. His program is now a laughingstock and the social media accounts of the players......

If he is truly a good coach, he can't afford to suck anymore. Whether or not he can reel in some 4 or even a 5 star recruits in a couple of years, if he sucks bad this year, he certainly won't energize the students and the community. He had a decent student turnout tonight and blew it. They'll come to see a consistent winner. Will they come back in three weeks or will they be over football?

Some of us were skeptical when PJ was hired and started talking. We've seen talkers and we've seen some that were doers. This guy is a motivational genius, according to some. But he's never been a HC, which is about managing everything. Just win football games. Learn how to manage your program, but do it quickly. Leave the other stuff to others. As Kimbo said, take the heat yourself for not having the team ready.

Have a long talk with your OC. When something is working, try staying with it. Learn to love the FG when it is there. Our old coach had a great kicker that was rarely used. Ego thing, I guess.

It's been a long time since we lost to an FCS team. It's unacceptable. The guy you replaced didn't even do that. Your program just embarrassed us all tonight. Own it and get it straightened out. I'm willing to give you time, but the team has to play much better than tonight. It was a major step backwards.

I guess I should get out of bed...

DEFENSE!

We know we have horses. WHY were Nichollsmplayers torching our secondary? Did someone who knows defense see anything glaring in Pinkham's schemes last night?
