"The change it had to come, we knew it all along."

Leading up to the Wazzu game, I promised myself I was not going to buy into the crap that this game would be no different than Utah or ND. I read and ignored the quotes from players during the week saying that the seniors would step up and not let it happen again. Not even Nestor's confidence that a win would be forthcoming was a compelling reason to feel good about the game.

I've been down this road too many times before. I wasn't going down it again. I had no reason whatsoever to think it would be different this time.

The $C loss got me fired up for the 3:30 kickoff. Bell's TD run on the 3rd play from scrimmage was comforting, but how many times have I seen a team score on their 1st possession only never find the endzone again?

The sickening feeling started on WSU's first drive which came with unexpected ease. I accepted Bell's injury on the ensuing possession as our fate. Markey's fumble sealed it. At that point, halfway thru the 1st quarter, I knew the game was lost. Nevertheless, I continued to watch. The train wreck mentality.

Like all of you,I am so bitterly dissapointed. Not so much at the losses, but at the way the team comes into games totally unprepared and the inability of the coaches to make in-game adjustments.

At this point, I'm also downright angry. I'm pissed at the way our coach is so dismissive about these failures. His comments to the press are demeaning and childish. His cliche laden verbiage is nauseating. (I swear if he uses the word "opportunity" one more time ...)

I'm pissed because my alma mater, the school that prides itself on being the 1st to win 100 NCAA championships, cannot put a well-prepared, well-coached team on the football field. It's a disgrace and an embarassment.

As a season ticket holder, I have no desire to attend any of the remaining home games. I know the players deserve my support and I may change my mind as my anger subsides, if it does subside.

This is so reminiscent of the Lavin years. It was hard to watch those teams lose to CSUN and N. Arizona. Our beloved basketball program kicked to the gutter. At that time, as I do now, my expectations were not to win every game and win NCs...that would be unrealistic. My expectation was that my Bruins would take the court or the field fully prepared to do battle and play hard throughout the game. That is not an unrealistic expectation. If they were well-prepared and played hard and still lost, I would have no problem with that.

As the final seconds ticked away in Pullman, I found solace in the knowledge that this was the proverbial straw. There is no way DG can keep KD beyond this year. He's got to end this five-year long roller coaster ride. Until he pushes that button, I'm getting off. I've had enough and besides, the Ben Ball Warriors are warming up.

I hope DG does not compound his previous mistake and hire Walker as a replacement. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
