Instead of spending time on gimmicks, every ounce of time needs to be watching films, recruiting and setting up game plans. We are tough because we practice in the snow......come on - just play football!

Can't disagree with this.

There are a LOT of gimmicky things about this season from "The Factory" to the concrete wall to starting a third different quarterback in four games. It is quickly becoming a "let's throw this at the wall and see if it sticks" kind of season.

Gimmicks are cool is they work and just plain silly and embarrassing if they don't. These gimmicks aren't working for anyone - not the players, not the opponents and certainly not the fans/alums.

Sure P.J. is kind of over the top, but he is actually building a potentially good team in K'zoo.

I wouldn't mind rooting for a 2 - 1 team with the loss a competitive loss to Purdue.

Eh, we'll see what happens when we play a real team this weekend. Virginia Tech is up next, a school that WMU has never scored a point against. 3 losses, 124-0 all time score 03-puke
