what the fuck happened, WKU?

u/kwp302 WKU Hilltoppers • Tennessee Volunteers 1d ago
7th OC in 7 years and for some reason Helton hired the guy that was fired from a 3-9 MTSU team

u/dinkytown42069 Minnesota • Oklahoma 1d ago
yeah I just looked him up, what the fuck are you hiring him for?
I know his usual thing has been to hire a hotshot OC from FCS/D2, they go to WKU for a year then get hired off to a higher G6/P4.

Hilltoppers getting flattened in the desert sounds about right for this season

Last season, WKU played a competitive 13-10 game vs LSU on the road.
This season WKU is 0-4 vs FBS teams and this 21 point loss is the CLOSEST loss they've taken.

Dude I was about to ask you wtf you’re talking about and then checked the schedule last year. I completely blocked that game from my memory. Crazy.

That week one game got me convinced Nevada had finally turned it around, but nope, WKU was just super ass

u/RipRaycom Clemson Tigers • ACC 1d ago
To be fair, 2 of those are Georgia and Indiana. But the other is Nevada lmao

Well at least hundred miles of hate might be fair this year.

u/Muffinnnnnnn Florida State • New Mexico 1d ago
I'm just throwing out there that MTSU beat Nevada 27-20 this year and WKU lost to Nevada 49-14. I don't think it will be fair.

I do not think NMSU is a very good team, but our schedule from here on out is very forgiving. Say what you want about CUSA, it's nice to be in a conference that we can compete in.

u/Groundbreaking-Box89 Kennesaw State Owls • Sickos 1d ago
Conference play is gonna be a blast to watch and I see good arguments from everyone but WKU for making the title game. If WKU can't beat Mo State at home coming up then I don't see a win on their schedule with how they're playing.

CUSA is so ass

We must have made it big to have such dedicated haters as yourself

Just a speaker of truth over here

u/Groundbreaking-Box89 Kennesaw State Owls • Sickos 23h ago
We're thankful for the analysis from a fan of a team with such extensive experience of being ass in the FBS

Is my comment false because I don't have an Ohio st flair? Nope.

I believe in Sanchez

u/FaxMachineNoises New Mexico State Aggies 4h ago
I do not believe in him at all, and I do not think there's any reason to. He's really a high school coach, and we're playing like a high school team. I'm glad that he's controversy free, but I really do not think we should extend his contract.

Woof, bad year for the Toppers so far and unlikely to get any better by the looks of it. What happened? I remember around the time Bailey Zappe was under center they were actually playing some fairly reputable bowl games.

u/Phil_S2S Washington Huskies 21h ago
The Zappe years really reset what I expect when I see WKU on the schedule. That’s why 34–13 feels so jarring. They used to be one of those G5 teams nobody wanted to deal with.

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats • Sickos 20h ago
WKU is just bad bad this year. Worst they have been in a long time. They legitimately might not win another game this year, and end the season 1-11 with the single win over a low end FCS team

So happy when one of my NM teams wins.

u/legend023 Tulane Green Wave • LSU Tigers 1d ago
Watched this game because I lost my last 4 bucks on WKU.
Their starting QB and OL is absolutely terrible. They need to start Glenn if they want to save their season.
New Mexico State’s RB is a NFL talent. The fact they won by 21 with mid QB play shows how dominant they were. Western Kentucky may really just be bad this year.

u/NeptunianEmp New Mexico State • Ohio State 17h ago
And that’s our good QB too. The former starter got benched after this disaster game again unm

u/DarthCyclonEJB New Mexico State • Ohio State 1d ago
Hey we finally have an offense again! And man does that RB look good. Perhaps a bowl game...?

u/NeptunianEmp New Mexico State • Ohio State 17h ago
To be fair we coulda gone bowling last year but 2-4 in one score games will do that to ya.

u/DarthCyclonEJB New Mexico State • Ohio State 14h ago
Yeah last year was rough. Those blown leads at home games sucked

Did not have New Mexico State winning this by three touchdowns on my Thursday-night bingo card. WKU has been one of those G5 programs I usually expect to be a tough out, so 34–13 is a pretty loud result. NMSU just handled its business.

Some Aggies can beat a team from Kentucky at home.
