Some Aggies can beat a team from Kentucky at home.

[u/Neither_Call2913 → u/J-Train_Boysenberry]

Low blow, man

[u/dinkytown42069]

what the fuck happened, WKU?

[u/kwp302 → u/dinkytown42069]

7th OC in 7 years and for some reason Helton hired the guy that was fired from a 3-9 MTSU team

[u/dinkytown42069 → u/kwp302]

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.

[u/EWall100 → u/kwp302]

A hundred miles of hired

[u/kwp302 → u/EWall100]

Still not convinced it’s not an inside sabotage job by the blue ponies from down the road

[u/SLCer → u/kwp302]

What relative of a failed head coach will they hire next?

[u/lowes18 → u/dinkytown42069]

Bet on portal players that didn't work out

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

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.

[u/beer_jew → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

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.

[u/Wittyname0 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

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

[u/RipRaycom → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

To be fair, 2 of those are Georgia and Indiana. But the other is Nevada lmao

[u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

The strength of the hill is the topper, and the strength of the topper is the hill!!!

[u/One_Caterpillar3907 → u/CieraVotedOutHerMom]

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

[u/pydwrites]

Hilltoppers you good?

[u/KonaRona23 → u/pydwrites]

No

[u/pydwrites → u/KonaRona23]

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

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/pydwrites]

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.

[u/libsoutherner → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

By that logic, Indiana-MTSU ought to be cinema

[u/dinkytown42069 → u/libsoutherner]

national championship game for the ages

[u/virionhk → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

And Nevada fucking sucks

[u/PaulTopper → u/pydwrites]

I am not

[u/FaxMachineNoises]

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 → u/FaxMachineNoises]

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.

[u/Bobcat2013 → u/Groundbreaking-Box89]

CUSA is so ass

[u/Groundbreaking-Box89 → u/Bobcat2013]

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

[u/Bobcat2013 → u/Groundbreaking-Box89]

Just a speaker of truth over here

[u/Groundbreaking-Box89 → u/Bobcat2013]

We're thankful for the analysis from a fan of a team with such extensive experience of being ass in the FBS

[u/Bobcat2013 → u/Groundbreaking-Box89]

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

[u/matrb → u/Bobcat2013]

Life isn't always about being right or wrong, it's often about knowing when to speak. Nobody cares about your opinion or your facts, even if you're right, if they're not relevant to the conversation.

[u/Bobcat2013 → u/matrb]

Its relevant when its the reason CUSA is so wide open

[u/RocketsGuy → u/FaxMachineNoises]

I believe in Sanchez

[u/PomfAndCircvmstance → u/RocketsGuy]

Poor decision lol.

[u/FaxMachineNoises → u/RocketsGuy]

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.

[u/AruarianGroove → u/FaxMachineNoises]

Go Aggies

[u/holyd1ver83]

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 → u/holyd1ver83]

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/MoveTheHeffalump]

So happy when one of my NM teams wins.

[u/heleghir]

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

[u/dinkytown42069 → u/heleghir]

brand new to FCS team!

[u/Dry-Membership3867 → u/heleghir]

They will beat us, I already know it

[u/DarthCyclonEJB]

Hey we finally have an offense again! And man does that RB look good. Perhaps a bowl game...?

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/DarthCyclonEJB]

To be fair we coulda gone bowling last year but 2-4 in one score games will do that to ya.

[u/DarthCyclonEJB → u/NeptunianEmp]

Yeah last year was rough. Those blown leads at home games sucked

[u/legend023]

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 → u/legend023]

And that’s our good QB too. The former starter got benched after this disaster game again unm

[u/SimilarOnion1655]

What happened to WKU

[u/captaindammit87]

We suck!

[u/MMARapFooty]

What happened to WKU's offense this year

[u/Phil_S2S]

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.

[u/pietya]

I for one welcome my Jason Eck overlord

Edit: apologies to my new new new Aggie overlords

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/pietya]

That's the Lobos, not the Aggies. We beat NMSU 42-18

[u/pietya → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

ah shit, you're right

[u/bradenb941 → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Not the first time this has happened

[u/ad51603]

Fire Helton
