Exclamation WKU Fans
Congrats on the win. I ragged you guys earlier in the year for losing to an FCS team and now I'm eating crow. Your team put it to us. They wanted it more than we did. We got our butts whooped. No excuses. Rooting for yall to win out and win a bowl game.

RE: WKU Fans
Much appreciated. I don't think any honest WKU fan could have predicted we would be where we are after the first game of the year. Many believed in Helton but thought it would be a process and reboot season. To be a win away from 8-4 with an FCS loss and a chance to go to a decent bowl is a great feeling. I thought the Sanford disaster would set us back 5 years, but Todd Stewart making the hard decision to move on after 2 dumpster fire years and bring back the same culture and style from the glory years of 15 and 16 has proven to be massive. The rumor was Todd wanted to hire Helton after Brohm left but he had just accepted the OC position at USC 10 days earlier and had already moved his family and bought a house. Timing was just off and kudos to Todd for going back and getting his guy after plan B failed miserably. Always have respected USM football and its a big win for our program.

That's 100% bullcrap and you should know it. Todd must have floated that one to cover his "Dreamer Boy, Idiot, hire. Hell he spent the last two years running down Brohm and his whole staff. Boy Idiot was his #1 choice and most Western fans know this.

Helton was the QB and passing game coordinator for USC. Huge difference than OC and head coach of a school that saw 3 of the previous 4 coaches move on to 4-6 million a year jobs.

Why would anyone think it would take 5 years to get back to 7 wins? G5 FB is all about coaching and system. Especially if the problem was coaching. If you believe Todd Western had the best recruiting, ever, under Boy Idiot. So the talent was never lacking...coaching was.

Helton is light years better than the idiot but playing in CUSA...you should
start a bad season at 6 wins. If you are a good coach and Helton seems to be just that. Western was not rebuilding from 3, 4 5 losing seasons, with no talent. Western was recovering from a idiot that was 4 bad play calls away from 7 wins, last year. With almost everyone returning for this season....

after the way the season started...8 or 9 wins will be a very good season. But still 2 bad play calls away from a 3rd CUSA championship...I have no doubt Ty Helton will learn from his mistakes. But it still hurts

Yes we remembered, but kudos for you owning Saturday....We have experience losing to FCS teams, happened under Willie and then we ended up winning 7 straight...Its not ideal but sometimes helps the team realize what they need to work on moving forward...

We all believe in out team, well other than a lot of Western fans and Boy Idiot did a number on them.

Now I will make a comment about USM and attendance. USM has one of the worse student sections for a FB school. Not only just student, for 5 years now all I heard from some USM fans (might not have been you) raging other school's attendance problem.

On a 62 degree day, with sunshine, prefect FB weather and on SR day and the USM football team fighting for a shot at a conference championship....

that stadium was around 2/3 empty and no more than 12 to 14k in the stands. The box score said a little over 20k but it wasnt close.

That's not attendance smack because if its 50 degrees or calling for rain on Saturday. Western will be lucky to have 8 to 9k at the game.

After listening to it for 5 years and the first time Western has played @USM...I expected something totally different

Our attendance was in fact terrible. Worst it's been all year. Our students usually put on a good showing. However, our students are out this entire week for Thanksgiving so my presumption is they went home Friday after classes for the holiday. The game Saturday was in no way any indication of what our student section normally looks like most games. As for the rest of the stadium...fans have just stopped caring.

RE: WKU Fans
I wasn’t there and I live in Hattiesburg. I’m tired of it. Tired of “college” football period. Not watching the game today and don’t give a chit what happens. Can’t believe I stopped in here to scan the topics. I’m finished with it no matter how good or bad it gets in the future. I’ve almost given up in the past but it’s taken the dumpster fire that is the “mid-major” amateur college athletics has become to finally nail that last plank down. Might stop back here once in a blue moon but probably won’t. Opens up more weekends in the fall for the golf game.

I was there! And him saying 2/3 empty was being generous!Plus the fact that there were a couple of your fans giving some 10 year olds **** for wearing their WKU shirts! (BTW: I know we all have a few of "those" fans!)

I was allowing them a thousand or so for club seating and people being in restroom or concession stands when I looked around. If I had to make a guess and my life depending on getting with in 10% I would have said 9500 or 75% empty

I usually try to gage attendance towards the end of the 1st qter. That's when most Western fans that are coming to the game, are in their seats. Probably the same for all of us. Then it starts to empty out by 35 to 50% at the half. Glad we paid GA prices instead of the $43 Western was charging.

Didnt see that with the kid but its something like a ULL (drunk) fan would do. One grabbed a 12 or 13 year old Western fan by the collar and told him to take that shirt off. But to the credit of a few ULL fans standing by him they took care of him before we could. Pulled his ass to the top of the stands and handed him over to a cop. Something similar happen at the Tenn game and their fans took care of it. Then you have the Marshall fan that spit at BD and poured a cup of his dip, spit on his head. So while there is always going to a few of those asssholes...

most fans are good people no matter where you are playing

I know I was totally disappointed going by what I've read on this board and what I saw. Did not even come close to matching up
