Anyone else find it difficult to listen to Paul Grua on the radio? I almost have to turn the radio off. He just spouts off random facts that are not relevant to the games. He is seriously worse at color commentary than Brad Larson.
As for the game...... Typical Rahe coached team. Cant win any meaningful games in the pre-season, dominates a weaker Big Sky schedule and cant win the important games post-season. 10 years of this garbage. Is getting a 20 win season all that cool when 19 games are against BSC teams and a NAIA school? I am growing very tired of Rahe not getting things done during the pre/post season games. Why can other schools have success but not WSU? Look at his resume against in-state schools. Its pathetic. How does on expect to grow a fan base and recruit local/ talented players, not just athletic kids? Between a poor, poor schedule, and not winning those games, I am in dire need of something from Rahe. Rahe has played USU like 12 times, and only beat them twice. He has never beat BYU.... 0-9, soon to be 0-10. Plays an even record to UVU, and has lost two straight to SUU. It is just disgusting to look at. Does WSU ever beat USU or BYU again? Money should be taken from Rahe's pay for every in-state game he loses. I am not sold on his coaching ability, even after all these years. He simply can not develop players. He is stubborn and lacks in-game strategy. Cant break a zone, cant break the press, cant finish off games and cant win the important games. WSU will continue to be stagnant and stay even with this garbage like we are seeing tonight. I honestly am more excited about the football program than the basketball team. I don't expect any wins in Florida. I do not blame anyone for not renewing season tickets. I am convinced that things can be much worse without Rahe, but also convinced we cant do any better than what we have seen during the past 9 seasons. Why does it take a Rahe coached team months to figure out how to win? Why cant his teams figure out how to win right off the bat like other up and coming teams? We can do worse without Rahe, but cant do better with him. Bovee needs to really get things figured out. I don't care how good of a recruit it is, how many stars etc. but if Rahe can't get these players to win, then its on Rahe. I am tired of the same crap year after year. "we have a tough schedule (hardly) to get us ready for league." "we just want to get better no matter who we play (you cant say that to fans when you're playing BYU or USU)." "We had some positives from that game (a 30 point blow out)." "We played a veteran team today." "We just came out flat." "Well, we had a good practice during the week." "They were more hungry than us today." "We are getting better." :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah:
Why cant a Rahe coached team get things done? I for one am no longer satisfied with beating up BSC teams, only to lose meaningful post-season games. His teams need to learn how to begin strong and finish even stronger. No purple kool-aid for me. No excuse to be (0-2) after today, yes Paul, "time to push the panic button."
