Our future star QB won't be playing anyway. The payout for these little bowls is so poor that the school probably loses money on the deal. It's a long a season and the players don't need more practice. That's what spring ball is for.

I nominate you to be the one to tell Dewey that you don't want to see him play another game in a Cowboy uniform. To his face.

What a silly post. Where did I say I didn't want to see any specific player play another game? How about addressing what I actually wrote? Will the stadium be empty? Will UW make any money on a minor bowl?
Do you think the players really want to play? I doubt many of them do. This is like the CBI decision. I seriously doubt another tv game makes one bit of difference to recruiting. We were on CBS sports, Fox Sports, and ESPN plenty of times this year. It's great we won our last 4 games of the year. But at least acknowledge that we beat 2 3-9 teams, a 1-11 team, and a 5-7 team. We hardly deserve to be in a bowl based on our resume.

This is ridiculous IMO. Wyoming is as deserving of a bowl as about any other 6-6 team in the country.

And yes it does matter for recruiting! Being able to say that the team plays in bowl games on a yearly basis matters.

I won't argue the first point. I question if any 6-6 team should be in a bowl. Our best team in recent memory was 2016. Had we played a bowl game any time recently? No.
Csewe played in minor bowl games the last 3 years. Has it helped their recruiting? The answer is obvious.

Would LOVE to flip Kyle Helbig's (3 star 6'3, 215 TE from Broomfield) or Aidan Cullen's (3 star 6'5, 245 SDE from Monument, CO) commitments, for example. We offered both of them.

Last year they had 17 3 star commits of which 2 were 4 stars who were downgraded (potentially for committing to a G5 school?).


It should be mentioned that we have several more commits so far in this year's recruiting, though, so maybe CSU is in for a serious drop in talent? If they can't get anything out of talented players, watch what they do with junk.

So it looks like Bobo is coming back for at least one more year. They will continue to suck and Bobo will probably be let go after next year and then they will go into a rebuild. They could suck for a long time to come. Yay!!

Any bowl appearance is positive for a program. I'm hoping we find a way to make it happen!
