Re: Possible bowl gane

San Jose St. goes 5-7 a couple years ago and get into a bowl game and then this year too many bowl eligible teams, especially in MWC. Just kind of sucks.

Re: Josh Allen: where does he go?

Obviously no idea where Allen ends up, but I don't think Cleveland will be as bad a choice as it has been. This is the best time to get on a team like that, absolutely no expectations and time to grow. Teams like the Giants and even the Broncos, fans really just care about playoff and SB wins and if...

Re: We've got the players just not the coaches...

Pokes have won this year on defense and turnovers. And offense taking advantage of what they got. I personally put more of the offensive blame on Bohl than Vigen. Pokes did not have adequate receivers and running backs come in this year. No matter what the play calling is, you have to be able to exe...

Re: OL Commit Switches to NE

Obviously Wyoming isn't going to get a lot of recruits from Neb. Kansas, or even Colorado if they get scholly offers from Neb. Kan/Kst or CU. And as we know the best kids from Colorado often go to places like USC, Stanford and Mich. as well.

Re: Getting tired of hearing the name of our opponent...

I don't hate "them". But they are the biggest bunch of hypocrites I've seen. Pretending they want out of the MWC to pursue playing a "better schedule" but then play 6 MWC teams a year, as well as teams like Idaho State and Weber St. and then making deals to play MW teams in bowl ...

Re: Does Brian Hill stay or go???

I can't imagine Hill not declaring for the draft and he definitely should. He's had 3 great years and this is his best chance. NFL teams will know he's not a flash in the pan, he's very consistent.

Re: Regardless of how this season ends it has been highly entertaining.

Regardless what happens next couple weeks, Pokes have far and away exceeded my hopes and expectations. Especially after starting 2-2. They were a young team that still getting better.

Re: Wyoming energy needs to buy a port on the west coast now that Trump is in office,

Thought I would chime in here. Coal usage is being reduced, not eliminated. And right now Nat Gas prices are very low, with the huge increase in nat gas usage, prices aren't going to stay this low over time. Coal will certainly be very much in use in China, India and throughout the world for next 25...

Re: Rebuilds in G5 ranks take...

As far as Bohl, I looked at last year and how young they were, I had no doubt this team would be much improved. I just didn't think they would be this good! Also, as far as the MWC, the West side is very week but the Mtn teams aren't bad at all. I think Cowboys will be fine on the offensive and defe...

Re: Trying to be COMPLETELY objective...

Pumphrey is a great RB, no doubt about that. But he also gets to pad his stats against SJSt, Hawaii and Fresno this year who are all terrible against the run. Plus he doesn't have to play against his own team which is very good against the run.
For the Pokes, Hill is definitely the right guy.

Re: It's Utah State week....nothing else matters.

-5? Lots of respect for USU. Their close losses to AFA and Boise must be buoying them up. I would think after getting absolutely wrecked at home by SDSU would have knocked them down a few pegs. I'm happy Pokes are favored by 5 instead of something like 17. Not sure how much the players look at that...

I agree this is a game the Pokes should win, but they'll be playing a desperate Nevada team too. So it won't be easy by any stretch.

Re: Big 12 Expansion

The AAC is stronger this year, primarily due to the bottom of MW being so bad - namely Fresno, SJSt. Nevada and Utah St. I think Fresno and USU will improve soon, and Nev right behind them. You can just look at Wyoming and Hawaii compared to last year. I can also see Navy possibly going 7-1 and winn...

Re: Bowl Projections so far

Any bowl would be icing on the cake for this season. Most fans had us in the 4 win range. I had thought Pokes could get 4 wins and at the best 6 wins. And that was counting EMU as a likely win. But right now I think Pokes have a very good shot at 6 wins and at best 8 wins. But its a game by game th...

USU has big lines, that's going to be a tough out. Pokes just going to have to play a good game but AF and CSU both beat Utah St. and Wyo can too.

heck 2 more wins will likely get us a bowl game. But I think Pokes can do better than that and 4 more wins is definitely possible.
