No sugar coating this one. Not good . . . from any perspective.

We now have a record of 15-60 since moving to big boy land. Has any other school performed this poorly in its first 7 years of moving up?

Others may have caught on earlier, but the red flag for me on Whipple was losing to Coastal last year. With the talent we had, that never should have happened.

Bamford was in a tough spot when he extended the contract the past year because of the way the team (successfully) finished out the season, but I think he realized there was a strong chance something like this could happen, hence the hedge on the contract.

Who would have thought that our placekicking would be the strength of the team. :oops: The kickers are perfect on the year.

If we can win next week we have a shot at averting a total disaster but my confidence level isn't very high right now for all of the reasons stated on the last 5 pages.

We’ve lost the last 2 games 89-34. 0-2. Duquesne does not count...Program in as bad a situation as they’ve been...including Molnar. This is Whip’s 5th season. Whip clearly has zero emphasis on defense, as his background clearly indicates...we are undersized and slow. Play calling continues to mystify...experienced offensive line, experienced running backs, experienced wide receivers yet pathetic results...last 14 points against BC were mercy points...not sure what we should do, who we should hire, Whipple needs to retire.

Hire the Maine coach at the end of the season--we'll all be very happy. He WILL turn the program around.

If you did the free trial make sure you cancel before you get billed each month.

You lucked out and got one of the few good ones! I was at Breck in March. Good base but limited powder. Couple of good bowl days but could have been at Killington where they got three feet that week. I used to do a lot of work in Boulder and skied at Beaver Creek quite a bit. Friend I worked there with lived there and took me way off-piste in the deepest powder I've ever been in (deeper than I could push a pole in but have no idea how deep). Was paranoid I'd drop a ski but never did.

Hire the Samford coach. His FCS team is leading Florida State at the half while playing at FSU. Not sure UMASS could beat Stamford.

Maine beats Western Kentucky. Glad they aren't on our schedule this year...

GSU fired their coach after last season's game--could Bamford please do the same thing! Look how much they improved in the year with the new coach!
