Here's the kind of statement that kills any/all credibility for you. It might be fact but it's also dirt, ed. And you know it'll rile everyone up. You know it's dirt because you know it riles everyone up.
You might find a statistic or two that can show CML isn't doing too well in comparison to the previous administration, but you've got to work at it. Because if you start delving into statistics, there are waaaay more stats that show improvement than the opposite. But YOU try to find the few stats that show lack of improvement. Yeah, lets wonder why some might question your "coug-ness"…. sheesh, ed. You say something that is "positive" and in the very next sentence, you shoot yourself in the "credibility foot". You have a choice to talk about the 20-30-40-50 stats that show improvement. But you choose the 2 or 3, lets even go so far as 5 stats that are poor… Thanks for the slap in the face, dude. Please bring up that statistic every time you are in an argument with a Coug that is trying to be proud of their alma mater…
I*'ll buy...cause I don't look at stats. Other than saying he is 3-9, which is what they are paid for,
I don't want to see your Cougless Face ChitEd. I want you to act like a Coug that supports the current program instead of being the bitter defender of Wulff.
I want you to not come on here and do nothing but try and point out flaws.
I want you to accept that he Wulff was the worst so you can be free and return to your cougar brethren
I want a new world for you ChitEd...a real future as a fan. Where you don't bitterly cling to the past, but look to the future with optimism.
A new CougEd will be born. A better CougEd. A wiser CougEd... A respectable CougEd...but until then you are ChitEd the lost and misguided and only when you come to Butch will you be saved!
Coward-tron....of course you don't. You want to hide behind the keyboard. I have endured more losing seasons that your immature ass has been alive. Don't lecture me. I am not lost, I am not misguided.

With all due respect 95, I never once questioned anyone about their devotion to the university when in 2009 they "knew " Wulff was the wrong guy, brought up the fact he didn't win the hearts and minds of the players, or that he put a stop sign up (his hand) when a player interrupted a conversation Wulff was having with another coach. I never second guessed their cougness when every last inch of coaching was dissected, to the point four years later a poster can see Tuel on film being infected by the flu. I watched people piss and moan about the experience of the staff, and never once questioned their cougness.
I don't look at stats. I don't care about rankings or stars. There are people like Rick Neheisel who could sell anything to anyone. But he couldn't evaluate talent. When I see some schmuck like Wulff recruit four qb's in four years, one is in the NFL, one is the school passing leader and was invited to an NFL camp, one transferred out and was the starter at UAB, and one transferred out and looks to be the starter at New Mexico, then I look at what Rick N brought in, Cody Paus, or Bill Doba, stars don't matter to me.
So I am not a huge stats guy. When Leach was hired I was ecstatic. As I have pointed out before and I will point out for probably the 100th time, I supported Wulff because I knew in 2007 the crap pile the next coach had at their hands. It was a total rebuild. So I watched, and I saw glimpses that caused me to lend support. I felt stability at that position was Important. But Biggs and I talked to each other in 2010, mid season and he said we should hire Leach. I said to him that if we could afford him, which we couldn't, I would fire Wulff immediately. And if my brother was the coach I would fire him as well. So I always thought Leach was a great coach, and would be a great fit.
When Leach was hired I thought it was great for the university. I thought we would win six games in 2012. It didn't happen, I chalked it up to transitions. There was never a question to this point that Leach would win, it was a certainty in my mind.
He went to a bowl game with virtually all Big Sky players as many like to refer to them as. It was great. The program was on the upswing. Then 2014 with his own players, some young, and WSU crapped their pants. So what went from a certainty in my mind is now I think he will get it done.
I don't see winning 6 in 2015. I see us going bowling in 2016. I hope I am wrong about 2015, but there are too many unknowns. Unknowns that people inside simply gloss over. I am fine with 4-5 wins if I see progress in 2015 in the back 4.
So I can be supportive of the program, and yet be real with my expectations, and be ok with those expectations.
I had zero connection with Wulff. I knew one person on his staff, and it is a "distant" knowing them. I have more of an emotional connection with Leach and staff and I would hate to see them fired.
