An FCS playoff game would actually have been serious. That was a ridiculous sham of a game broadcast and game. Felt like XFL. Embarrassing.

We should never agree to play in that game again. We look like chumps.

Okay grandma, thought it was an awesome way to make a lower tier bowl entertaining. I am all for it and at least they could point out how stupid the play calling is.

It was designed to be that way. That’s what Barstool does. This shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone.

I took it for what it was an enjoyed the hell out it personally.

What exactly is Barstool and who is the audience they appeal to? From what I could tell it was aimed for the dumb downed of which that room is overflowing with people across the country

Awesome? Entertaining? For the 19 people that watched it, it was ridiculous. But whatever.

Won’t lead to one more WyO recruit. Won’t lead to one more WYO donor. The ten people that watched it just laughed for 3 hours. They don’t see WY any different than they did before the game. If anything, the hick Cowboy image is now further emblazoned. It hurt us.

Oh, and our offense of an even bigger joke.

Okay so a platform for adults who still want to be beer chugging children and who refuse to grow up. Makes sense.

Won’t lead to any less either.

Pretty much.

Like I said, anyone who was surprised by anything today clearly didn’t do any research on Barstool or the owner, Portnoy. I could never be a regular customer but in small doses I do find the lack of f-word given to be kinda entertaining, even refreshing.

I don’t disagree. Same could be said for any SEC broadcast with Gary Danielson too though.

Now that we can agree on. In the 30 minutes since the game ended, the drunk or really juvenile Barstool crowd has evaporated. What is left is the loyal WY fan base that is mostly disgusted and embarrassed by what we were made to watch/look like. By January 2, WYO and Ohio will be the two teams that played in the joke bowl. Nothing more. Nothing less to the 20 something’s and drink 50 something’s that watched. They will talk more about the fat guy running for the tee than WYoming or Ohio.

Or less. So long as Barstool is broadcasting, I don’t need to watch another game.

Honestly, I’d rather them talk about that vs the 11 yards of offense we racked up in the first 28 minutes of the second half.
