Great finish. These kids didn’t give up.
Yep. Way to stick with it. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Say what you want about this season, ending 6-6 feels like success. There were times i didn’t think we’d win 3 games let alone be in a position to wait for a bowl game. So stoked for the seniors and hope this ride isn’t over!!!

I didn't read through the thread but we lost to four top 25 teams, an SEC team that was 8-4, and let one game get away from us.....all this while replacing the #7 pick in the NFL draft and having some injuries. No matter what happens from this point on, we turned it around and made the best of it. Props to our team for coming out and dominating today.

If Wyoming gets a bowl, they should start Nick Smith. It’s too much pressure for TVW to start. Let Smith go for one drive, then bring TVW back in and he would go off like last week.

How many years on this message board have we speculated about how a 2-6-ish Wyoming team could rally for a bowl game, but they inevitably failed to do so? This conclusion to the regular season was a character-building run for the program.

Pokes are Bohling. Enjoy it.

It just might work. At least it won't work any worse than TVW's passes today.

First time we have had 3 winning seasons in a row since 97, 98, 99.

Looking back, USU was the game we could have stolen and Hawaii was the game we let get away.....we could be 8-4 with a few plays turning our way.....coulda....woulda....shoulda....

I don't care what teams we played down the stretch.....to come back from 2-6 is pretty sweet......hopefully, we get a bowl game and make it a winning season.

We must really suck if we consider .500 a winning season! :roll:

No matter what, I love the way we ended the season. I had lowered my expectations to close to zero before Chambers helped turn things around.

You see those poop at ATT&T use Conway’s picture for Valladay’s during the game? That’s twice. Last time they used CJ Johnson’s for Sean Chambers.

Shouldn't do it. Too Risky. Smith could start from the 25 yd line, Throw five straight completions to the 10 yd line, then run it in himself the next play. THEN what do you do? Nope. Too risky.

I think there’s a little more too it, from my perspective.

When you consider UWs sitting 2 - 6, and has to win out and looking pretty unlikely it happens. Lose your starting QB and best running back in first Offensive series against AF. The Pokes gutted out a win without some of their best offensive weapons, in weather that far favors AFs running game, only to win it with 5 minutes left. Those were some pretty impressive plays, offense and defensively. Yeah, I’ll take it.
