WCU Football

Western having a good football season is good economic news for WNC west of Asheville. The area has businesses still struggling after Helene. Restaurants and hotels need their business on game weekends. After 10 years of separation between our FBS and their FCS it seems pretty outdated to consider them a threat.

I watched some of the UTC game and the view of the stands (was of maybe 2,000 people. That may have been the away side, I don't know but it was VERY thin.

The game you saw was WCU playing AT Chattanooga. Not at WCU.

It was at UTC. They sold out this past weekend in Cullowhee and I hope it had an economic impact.

I am aware of the logos on the field. UTC not drawing much.

WCU dropped another game to ETSU. Mercer won so the elusive SoCon conference title will have to wait until 2026 at the earliest.

Hopefully they can make the playoffs.

[Stonewall]

They won’t. Had to win today.

[McLeansvilleAppFan]

They won’t. Had to win today.

Very true. They had a rough OOC and now falling apart. Improving, which is good to see.

[Stonewall]

The QB missed the first three games which they lost. Probably would have gone 2-1 to start.

[Stonewall]

And I’m glad we don’t play them this year.

And I’m glad we don’t play them this year.

LOL, I was about to say, glad we don’t play them this year.

[Stonewall]

We would be competitive in the SoCon. Top five maybe.

[Bootsy]

We would be competitive in the SoCon. Top five maybe.

I love your optimism…

[AppStFan1]

We would be competitive in the SoCon. Top five maybe.

I know people are joking but we would be second best in the league. The SoCon is not very good. Mercer is probably the only team that will get in the playoffs. WCU better beat VMI big time and hope they get a little help with some losses by teams in the mix to have a shot at one of the last couple at-large spots.

[Stonewall]

I don’t see WCU making the playoffs but if things fall their way, good for them. I am seriously glad that we don’t play them this season.

Western QB is not enrolling at UNC.

QB Transfer Taron Dickens Won't Enroll at UNC
UNC quarterback transfer Taron Dickens will not enroll at UNC, multiple sources have confirmed to TarHeel247.

[t4pizza]

Perhaps his academic profile is worse than even UNC was expecting. Pure speculation on my part.

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

He's so dumb, he'd fail AFAM at UNC.

[Stonewall]

His grades were actually too good.

[appdaze]

Not his original plan, but they are a hot program in the middle of football country. He may get a shot at a lower FBS texas school his senior year since whatever he did screwed up his UNC shot.
