ECU fired their coach this morning. This was his 6th year.

"After a comprehensive evaluation of our football program, I informed Mike Houston this morning that we are making a change in leadership," said Gilbert. "This was a very difficult decision. Mike has led our program the last five plus seasons with tremendous class and has positively impacted so many student-athletes. After earning back-to-back bowl invitations, we looked poised for continued success. Unfortunately, we have not seen the results we all want, and a change is needed to move the program forward. We have high expectations and those are not changing.”

This fan base deserves better

That was the comment of my nephew.

He’s a Chillicothe, Ohio kid. I started taking him to games when he was in junior high school.

He is like most Ohio kids in that he’s a 0$U fan. But he’s been to enough games at both WVU and 0$U to know that the atmosphere in Morgantown is far superior to that in Columbus.

He played at an Ohio athletic conference college until he messed up his shoulder. Getting married, having kids, and moving to the Cleveland area prevented him from getting the chance to attend a game with me.

As we sat there waiting for kickoff last night he turned to me and said, “this is a special place.”

We left with about 4 minutes to go. We both had enough.

The box score tells the story of the game...


























C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT QBR
19/29 298 10.3 3 0 96.5



















































C/ATT YDS AVG TD INT QBR
9/19 85 4.5 1 2 50.1
6/13 58 4.5 1 0 4.3
15/32 143 4.5 2 2 --


Two picks, 4.5 yards per pass play, and a crapola QBR ain't gonna get it done when the other guy is rocking 10 yards per attempt, no picks, and almost a 100 QBR.

Pick'm Week 8

To no ones' surprise, our Mountaineers fell flat on a big stage, and a big game. Not an opportunity for a signature win, but a big important game. I watched the game completely sober, and I just don't know what our identity is, nor does the team, from all indications. Another opportunity for a big game this week.

This is year 6.

Quote I saw online last week.

“There is no edge. There is no urgency. There is no innovation. There is no killer instinct. There is no mental toughness. There is no calm in the chaos. There is no pursuit of excellence.

They are soft. They are complacent. They lack discipline. They are overwhelmed in adversity. They succumb to physicality. They make excuses. They accept defeat.”
