Re: Bowl Game

We are officially on to the bowl game. Although unlikely, I hope we can get a non-MWC bowl in a Texas or Florida location. My money is on the Hawaii Bowl for Christmas Eve. Personally and for MWC bowls, I’m hoping for the New Mexico Bowl (it is convenient and a good time). I'm with ya. I don't have...

Re: Wyoming at Nevada

11 is a lot of points again. But I was wrong about Hawaii covering the 13.5 . Glad i did not place a bet. Think I will sit this one out again. The guys who set the line are good at what they do. Fresno st. was a massive favorite against New Mexico and lost outright. New Mexico st. was a 20 pt dog a...

Wyoming at Nevada

All 4 road losses to teams with winning records. Nevada 2-9 and certainly the worst conference team we face this year. Game at 7 p.m. with temp. probably around freezing. There will probably be more players on the sidelines than fans in the stands. We are 11 point favorites. I was pleasantly surpris...

Re: Furman

I liked our poise down the stretch. Powell really defends the paint and we have 2 guards that can penetrate and bury the 3. It was nice to see Wenzel hit a big shot at the end. I like the way this team defends. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Re: Furman

Sam Griffin is a one man wrecking crew. Kot shoots too much, and our bigs are no post up threats. Almost all the points are from Kot, Wenzel, and Griffin. Powell is a great defender and rebounder. As I post this, we are up 10 with 7 minutes to go. It looks like we have a reasonably competitive team ...

Re: Oliver Faubert

A lot of good players in Canada. And the big men usually have good ball handling skills. Hopefully, last year was a weird aberration and Linder will get things back on track. Will be watching us play Furman at 8:30 tomorrow morning on ESPNU.

This is the first time I've watched this year's team. Sam Griffin is money. If we cut down on the turnovers, we will a tough out for most MW teams this year.

Re: Hawaii +13.5

Not my favorite game to wager on this weekend by any means. I do think this is a pretty good spot for Wyoming here though. Wyoming’s last 3 losses have all been on the road against teams that are pretty decent this year and we all know Bohl isn’t good on the road. Different story at home though. Wy...

Re: Hawaii +13.5

Vegas isn’t dumb. There must be some matchup reason they see the game with this kind of spread. However, I predict the line will be about -10.5 by game time. But there are few FCS teams where Wyoming should be a 2 TD favorite given Bohl’s style of play. This is very strange. We played on friday. Th...

Hawaii +430 on the money line. After last week's performance, I think it's questionable we even win the game.

Re: Fire Bohl

Extend Bohl (lower salary if he'll do it) and cut football budget. I think he can have similar success with a fraction of the budget. Pour money into men's and women's bball and maybe wrestling. It's time. Quit chasing the football carrot we'll never catch anyway. Football is my favorite sport, but...

Yea, I'm aware of that, but at the same time his extensions have already come by this time in the season. Just something else to ponder, added to his general demeanor and the fact that we know retirement is near anyway. You bring up another side to this that I was about to add, though. Even if he d...

Re: UNLV game thread

If Peas doesn't throw the pick, I wonder if 2nd half would have been different? I don't think so but maybe. Looked to me like Vegas' coach took a half to figure out Bohl. I wondered the same thing. But objectively, UNLV looked like the faster team. And for whatever reason, we have not been able to ...

Re: UNLV - What is your prediction

My prediction is that every one of these predictions could be right. These Pokes are too unpredictable. And given their road record I am not optimistic. Way to go out on a limb! Actually, the Pokes are not that hard to predict. We've lost 3 road games. One to a team that is in the National title hu...

Re: Road Woes

Line now UNLV -4.5. I bet the final line will be closer to -6.5. Line has moved to UNLV -5.5. Is that good or bad? Csewe went from a 7 pt dog to a 6 pt dog against us. We covered. I'm guessing Seattle Cowboy would say to go against the line moves. I can't believe we can't cover this line, let alone...

We can still do this, right?

If we beat UNLV, they have 2 losses. Fresno St. is only a 1 pt favorite against San Jose St. this saturday. If Fresno loses, they have 2 losses. Other than Air Force, every time will have at least 2 conference losses. Plus, Boise st. still has to play Air Force. So we still have everything to play f...

Re: Road Woes

Hard to win on the road when you have no offense. UNLV just hung 50 on New Mexico. When's the last time we hung 50 on anyone? How about 40? In 3 road games this year, we've scored the grand total of 44 points. So yeah, I'm not betting on us this week. Even with 3 turnovers, we only scored 24 last we...

The lines at the bathrooms were ridiculous. Bad night to drink beer.
But yeah, I'm surprised some of their fans actually showed up. Defense really showed up.

Re: What an absolute embarrassment

Add defense to that list. That's the disturbing part...we don't even have the vaunted Bohl defense that usually gets him a pass. We're still top 4 in the MWC in total defense, pass defense, and points overall, but we're actually sliding backwards pretty fast....and we're an abysmal 10th in the MWC ...

As disappointed as I was after the Boise st. game, I will say one thing for Craig Bohl. Except for his first 2 seasons, he has beat csewe every year except the covid year. I will feel a hellava lot better if we do it again Friday night. Former Wyoming BB coach Benny Dees was asked how he recruited p...
