He already used his redshirt last year so he isn't preserving any eligibility. He is just bailing on his teammates.ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 11:57 am He played in 6 or 7 games, right? He isn't preserving eligibility.
This one makes no sense. I'm guessing he was gone regardless and got it in his mind that it was best to avoid injury.
It's important Bohl work through these guys. Everyone is blaming Bohl, but I'm thinking there's a cancerous core. It happens. Hopefully the cancers get cut out for good this year.

Braasch "was also recruited by Northern Iowa and South Dakota State." Combined with his lack of college game film and concerns with leaving a depleted team before their game, he might struggle to land a scholly anywhere.

Wouldn't break my heart to see his career end with a whimper at some irrelevant DIII school.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 12:08 pm Braasch "was also recruited by Northern Iowa and South Dakota State."

Here's a list of the healthy running backs on the sqaud. One of them will start, most will probably play.
Jeremy Hollingsworth - 5'9" 212 lbs. - Soph. - Longmont, CO - 1 carry, 2 yards last year vs. Ball State
Max Jones - 6' 185 lbs. - Frosh. - Fort Collins, CO - No college stats
LJ Richardson - 6'1" 215 lbs. - Frosh. - Bellevue, NE - No college stats
Dalton Strouss - 5'8" 220 lbs. - RS Frosh. - San Luis Obispo, CA - No college stats
Jordon Vaughn - 6'2" 230 lbs. - RS Frosh. - Manvel, TX - No college stats
EDIT: It's been brought to my attention that Hollingsworth blew his knee in the spring, so he's probably unavailable.

I'd propose the cancer is a situation where a lot of the players and staff know what the problem is (lack of offense), but are frustrated by the person ultimately responsible stubbornly doing nothing about it. I can see players feeling like the captain is an on-board terrorist intent on getting the plane in the air but not concerned with sticking the landing.ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 11:57 am He played in 6 or 7 games, right?

Could be or could be a group of entitled whiny players. Part of the reason the offense is stagnant is because of the players. They are largely a bunch of 2 stars almost nobody else in fbs wanted. Not sure they have room to point fingers. That person ultimately responsible stubbornly went forward anyway and gave them an opportunity at an education and continued football.Wyovanian wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 1:42 pmI'd propose the cancer is a situation where a lot of the players and staff know what the problem is (lack of offense), but are frustrated by the person ultimately responsible stubbornly doing nothing about it.

Ya when he’s playing DIII next yearOrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 9:58 amBraasch decided he didn’t want to handle a heavy workload and bounced before the game. He will regret that decision IMO.MrTitleist wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 1:41 pm Joey Braasch will be the starter in the Arizona Bowl with DQ and Dawaiian still out injured. Looks like an opportunity for some young guys to put themselves in a better depth chart position heading into next season.

Braasch is only a limited loss for the bowl game and that still remains to be seen. I'm hoping one of the young men that are listed (or several) come out like gang busters, with a chip on their shoulder. I'm hoping the OL blocks like it has never blocked before. I'm hoping Peasley can complete 70% of his passes and push back the safeties and linebackers. But Braasch is NO LOSS long-term - and perhaps not even short-term. He is, at best, number 2 on the 2-deep for most mid-to-higher tier FCS teams.

Yes. It is documented in an article that came out a day before he entered the portal. https://trib.com/sports/wyoming-cowboys ... 7355c.html
“Joey will step into the role right away and there will be a couple other kids who get reps in practice,” UW athletics director Tom Burman said. “We’ll find two or three running backs to play, and they’ll be good.”
To make matters worse, Braasch looks to be full of cowpies in his prior comments:
“I definitely feel like just coming here as a running back you know you’re going to probably have to wait your turn a little bit,” said Braasch, a three-star recruit from Colombus, Nebraska. “We’ve just got good backs that come in and out. You’ve got to develop some patience to be here, honestly, but it’s still a good feeling because you know you’re at the right place.”
“Being a Wyoming Cowboy running back, you know you’re going to have some big weight on your shoulders, and you’ve got to perform,” a prescient Braasch said during fall camp.

Funny how Burman's kind of eating his words. Sounds like someone has no idea of the pulse of the team.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:14 amYes. It is documented in an article that came out a day before he entered the portal. https://trib.com/sports/wyoming-cowboys ... 7355c.html

The AD has very little interaction on a daily basis with the FB players, so not surprising. In order of people who would have an idea that a player wants to transfer: that player > his close friends on team > his position group > rest of the players > strength coaches > position coach > HC > AD.Wyovanian wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 2:26 pmFunny how Burman's kind of eating his words.

So, you are saying that Burman should have just kept his mufu mouth shut? Unlike the many times before - like "Wyoming will never pay a football coach more than $1,000,000".WestWYOPoke wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 11:56 pmThe AD has very little interaction on a daily basis with the FB players, so not surprising.

I worked 13 hours my last day at the startup I worked at for 7.5 years. Being a professional means you hand things off. I also was laid off twice and never once went screaming into the night. My industry is much smaller than it looks. Burning bridges will cost you. College football is small too. I wish him the best, but he may find out things don't work out the way he wants.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Wed Dec 07, 2022 11:06 am But I'll say this, like any other professional, I have changed jobs over the years. HOWEVER, one thing I have always done is to stay with the current job (and even do free side work while in the new job) to make sure the co-workers I am leaving behind are not left with an unbearable workload understanding that they have families and commitments too. I would never leave my co-workers or teammates high and dry. I don't know Joey Braasch and his circumstances but I highly doubt that I'd want him as an employee or co-worker.
