BU 62-Evansville 92

I have a suggestion for the next few games - 25 cent beer -- then the attendance jumps 2000 and the 30 point losses become easier to take..
 
Maybe you weren't around the past couple years when Kirk Wessler lambasted Jim Les personally and demanded his firing. His columns were bitter, and angry and directed squarely toward the coach. KW is obviously pulling his punches with any faint criticism we see now.

Those comments that you highlighted are extraordinarily mild by comparison, despite the fact that no Jim Les team was ever embarrassed as bad or as often as this year's team has been.

And even what you refer to as not "holding back on Coach Ford" is not even directed at the coach. Both those statements are clearly directed at the team and players, not the coach. Read your own quotes.

Ford is in his first year, so unless Wessler lambasted Les like that in Les's first year, it's a bad comparison, IMO.

Also saying the statements are directed at the team, includes Ford. He is the coach and is in charge of them.

IMO, when the team sucked = coached sucked too.
 
where you been cpacmel??? - Wessler and his predecessor, Phil Theobald, lambasted Jim Les to an even harsher degree even before he took the job -- heck they started with their lambasting while JL was still just a candidate for the open position in 2002...then it grew worse when the field narrowed and JL ended up being selected over the PJS editors' overwhelming favorite for the position.
