This Cubit crap is becoming as bad as the anti-Fleck crap.

just go to the OTHER site like everybody else....oh....those "people" never left here...what you say?!?!

A VERY reliable source told that things will never change. No reason to lie.

You mean the other site that had a 5 page game thread as opposed to this site that never even had a game thread?

Let's take you for example. When do you actually talk sports here? NEVER. You make these periodic appearances to rag on anyone not genuflecting about your hero.

I would like to talk sports. I guess I am part of the problem...seems like all I ever talk about is how stupid I think the pissing matches are. That and beer.

I also think the statement about 5 pages of gamethread is a test to see if someone will call him on actual number of pages of gamethread...CD will then nail the offending party for being a ghost reader of the new board...oh wait...

Drinking more beer will lead to more pissing. That's just science.

You must have difficulty being able to understand time stamps... 11:19pm to 7:17am seems to be slightly longer than two minutes apart. But by all means let me keep that apartment in your noggin... keep the that conspiracy alive!

wow, a new pissing contest.

It's what we do. Who hates conflict ain't us.

Good at it we is

Quote:By the way, I liked Cubit. I liked his commitment to the players and his commitment to the university. I also liked the fact that he dealt directly with problems.
I always wish him well and appreciate his contributions to WMU football and to WMU.

I liked that we had Cubit. Mid-career here, I figured he was going to be a Hawkins of WMU (sans occasional MAC Championship; maybe 1 and a trip to it a time or two over 10-15 years). It's unfortunate his time ran out in what he could produce. Not to jump on the bandwagon of 'sources', but several indirect 'sources' have told me stuff that made sense as to why KB let him go so Swiftly. Hitting a rut during the last half (4 yrs) here spiraled too much. It was definitely time for a Change, unless we were like a Kent State program and didn't mind calling a 7-6 year a "great year" or something, and call 4-8 merely non-ideal. Regardless, overall, he's a coach we should being giving a positive nod to when looking back.

Quote:Again...why are we reporting on Illinois and Cubit.

Because he's our former coach and now HC of a P5 we're facing. A winnable game. Why wouldn't be looking at it? Same reason we'll be looking at Braverman in the draft and analyzing his playing time in the NFL. Imagine if his team played us, right? This type of thing where your former (too hastily?) fired coach takes over a P5 you face doesn't happen very often.

Quote:It is interesting how so much time is being dedicated to following the Illini.

It's also interesting how Illinois doesn't play NIU, but we play Illinois regularly... and Fleck being from the state of Illinois, a possible hire there, again, facing our fired coach manning the P5 we face, who is certainly going to have a bullseye on our team to beat us -- much like Ray Finkle having a bullseye on Dan Marino for not holding the ball Laces Out!, as seen in Ace Ventura Pet Detective! :)

And in all seriousness, it's Offseason! We're going to talk about coaches, projections, and who we face next year. How could this not be talked about a lot, right? I think bashing Cubit isn't good, no. But people are going to talk about how it was a good decision or too-hasty decision to let him go, and how Fleck measures up. We should expect that with a Fleck vs Cubit showdown -- how could we not?! :)

Quote:For the record, I did not ban DB/letterman.

Out of honest curiosity, who did -- or is that unknown/don't-ask-don't-tell?

Quote:Some may recall, I actually had even headed banter with the him.

I do. It'd get heated to a certain degree, but in the end, yeah, it was even-headed banter and all good.

Quote:I am not particularly in one camp or the other. I think the whole good versus evil, us versus them, Cubit camp v. Fleck Camp, Pro Fleck/Anti Fleck stuff is overdone.

But here's the thing that makes me scratch my head, though. Like him or not, like this topic or not, DB was a big contributor/instigator of the topic you so strongly dislike -- and to help get it Real heated and cafeteria-like (which some may or may not mind so much). If you can't stand the topic in and of itself, it perplexes me how you were so cool-headed with DB. I would figure someone who wants to forget Cubit coaches at Illinois while also being our former coach would, if anything, be in a camp firmly against him... not, if anything, surprisingly cordial and cool with him. Which, don't get me wrong, was a good thing... but one would figure said person wouldn't have such a strong disdain for analyzing Cubit, his pros/cons, etc -- with Fleck vs Cubit on Sept 12th coming up, is all. :)
