Re: World Series

I think Indians pull it out, but I would not be surprised if it goes seven. Cubs get Schwarber's bat again and it depends on if Arrieta can get back to his early 2016/2015 form. If it goes seven I think we will see Kluber and Lester in the game at some point. I am rooting for it to go seven, because...

What in the wide world of sports is going on up North?!?

So being close to Montana, I sometimes check in on Montana and MSU. While me and my family were taking a Yellowstone trip in October we were eating in West Yellowstone, and the Montana game was on and they were throttling some poor team (Miss Valley State). Figured they were on their way to make som...

Re: Assuming we win out. What are the odds Laramie hosts the mwc championship in Laramie?

Did you guys watch UNLV on Saturday night? That team is a mess. Got the piss beat out of them by a lousy SJSU team. New Mexico is the game we need to worry about. The game we have to worry about from here until December 4th is the "NEXT" one. I hate when we start looking ahead and worryin...

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

The game will be on ESPN2, so we do get some bonus money. We need to win this game and bring the Rifle home. It will look nice next to the boot. Does anyone know if there's a place for it to be displayed? Go Pokes. Beat Utard State. On the wall next to all the other monkeys we've gotten off our bac...

Re: Sports Illustrated: Top 25 College Football Field Designs

Fun fact: The stadium sits at an elevation of 7,215 feet above sea level—the highest of all FBS schools. We dropped 5 feet? Seas level rise caused by global warming. A common misconception. The cause is subsidence due to fracking and coal mining. That is why Hillary wants to eliminate the fossil fu...

Re: Bohl to Purdue

No idea how much interst there is from either party, but, come on, liking Laramie or building a program will have a minor impact on the decision. $ will. Here, he gets ballpark of $1.2 mill +/-. Purdue paid ballpark of $2 million. I would guess they increase that to $2.5- $3 in the next round. In s...

Re: "Trap Game"

Well for what it is worth per ESPN FPI we are the second hardest game left on their schedule with Air Force being the hardest. I think ESPN FPI is seriously overrating Air Force at this point, lucky for them they get Army, Fresno, and San Jose State to get them to 7-5 and be bowl eligible. But how c...

Huge game for sure. It would take something extremely big and exciting to get me to miss this game. I mean a very huge event.

Re: I guess winning can't fix stupid

The biggest welfare sports by profit Soccer (-0.59 million) Volleyball (-0.51 million) and swimming and diving (-0.47 million). This is a bit surprising to me. I figured that Volleyball would be the top Olympic sport (maybe even above wrestling) with the revenue received from season tickets and oth...

Found a site, I don't know how good the numbers are, but it was one that had numbers for all the athletic sports. Supposedly the numbers are from the Office of Postsecondary Education, but CSU has some funky stuff going on as all their sports are somehow at $0 profits. pointafter For Wyoming, the on...

Re: Big 12 Expansion

Yeah CSU and all the others got used so that the Big12 could get more money. I think the Big 12 fully expected to expand, but they wanted to raid the ACC not any of the G5. Once they only got G5 applications and none from any P5 school, they also got wind that the TV companies were not on board and ...

Not out of my mouth, a lot of football left. I won't be saying that until Cowboys get win #7, and before that, they need to get wins #6 and #5. 6-6 makes Wyoming bowl eligible. While a 6-6 team likely goes bowling, it does not guarantee a bowl game.

Re: Entering Game 7: Wyoming has an 82.5% chance of making it to a bowl game

Like the stats.

Here is a link to ESPN's chance to win each remaining game based on their FPI ranking system. It has been nice to see that % steadily rise through the season. Prior to the season I think our forecasted finish was 2-10 up to 6.4 - 5.6 now.
