Not taking up for any posters - but I didn't delete any posts I have made on this board. So not sure what happened???
And like several of you, I have voiced the opinion that the power rankings don't mean much until we have all played a few conference games. WCU is clearly not having the start to the season that many expected, but to be honest I had picked us to be 1-2 at this point (just didn't think we would be struggling so bad on offense - which has been our strength for the past few years with mostly the same players). But if you do any research, Western has not been a even a mediocre team for years and we continued to support the team and draw in decent crowds even while we were going 2-9 and 1-10. So reading the WCU boards it is easy to see that some people are having a hard time with their renewed expectations.
Anyway, tough loss for you guys last week. Sounded similar to the Alabama loss (not in all the turnovers Bama had to try and overcome, but in the coulda-shoulda way with all those trips into the red zone).

I checked the security logs. The Cats deleted every post he ever made on this board and his account. I don't remember seeing any comments that would garner that level of response, but who knows. Oh well...

I've watched a little bit of tape on you guys and Mitchell just hasn't played well. QB being out of sorts causes all kinds of problems. |

I ,for one, welcome your posts wcugrads95 and am looking forward to coming to Cullowhee in October. I have a friend from high school who lives and works there and am looking forward to reconnecting. So I am sure that one person posting for WCU doesn't represent the whole ball of wax so to speak. Thanks for speaking up. |

I don't think there is an overarching red zone "problem", it was just in that one game. 2 TDs in 5 red zone trips isn't good when you are 100% going in. Just didn't seem like we could get it going. And we had to try and catch passes with TTU players riding piggy back on our receivers. lol |

Go to PostImage.orgDirections there are fairly straightforward... Select the photo you want to post from your computer. You can select the size of the photo you want to post (resizes your source pic) though I've never 'fiddled' with that feature Click in the Radio Button that it's family-safe (assuming it is) Then click "Upload it" Then click the "Copy to Clipboard" button to the right of the various options. I almost always use "Direct Link" unless that doesn't work for some reason when I try to post. Then I'll keep clicking until I find a "Copy to Clipboard" link that works with where I want to post the pic. Below I have posted a random example for you...  ...and I decided to 'fiddle with' the resizing option and post another random example...  Hey pretty cool...Now let's see that pic you have. I thought I saw several PI's that were not called. Be interesting to take a look... |

VMI up 14-7 versus Furman at half. 2 TOs by Furman probably the difference.
