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.

Sounds like someone who refuses to sink to depths that some will enthusiastically embrace because they've been conditioned to. Nice to know that there are some here who refuse to be toyed with.

Out of touch with what? Frank the Tank still doesn’t know where he was eating his hot dog and the rest of Barstool’s viewership is on to the Orange Bowl. We are are a brief comic relief moment.

I think 90% of the posters on this board make us look 100% worse than anything barstool did today. This place is more toxic than twitter and thats f-word bad people. What other MWC bowls are people going to be talking about. I cant even remember what bowl Boise played in. Going to bowl games consistently gets recruits. Not the exposure from one game.

Does it get recruits? Have you looked at our commit list recently? The multiple years of Tater and Barstool Bowls have yielded Jack and $h!t in recruiting.

My 68 yr old dad kind of liked it.

Ah yes, the ole C team from cbs calling the game where we go to commercial after a score and then another commercial after the kickoff is so great. Then commercial after every change of possession, every injury, timeout and any break is so forward thinking and entertaining.

You’re one those guys upset it wasn’t “on tv” aren’t you?

No. I am not a Luddite. I was just fine figuring out the app, YouTube and several other ways to view the game for multiple people that couldn’t figure it out. I’m upset that barstool is a joke that was extended to include WYoming. How far we have fallen. We used to play on prime time in Sugar Bowls, Sun Bowls, Fiesta Bowls and Holiday Bowls. Now we play in a trash game with trash broadcasters. We are a joke. And maybe that’s what hurts most. The difference between us is I am still embarrassed. You accept this as “fun”. I don’t. To me, it is an insult.

It’s a G5 bowl game with no national TV coverage sponsored and streamed by a company with a very specific shtick. It was always going to be exactly what it was. If you expected any different you were ill informed and really have only yourself to be mad at. I guarantee both schools knew what they were getting and chose to partake anyway.

Man, what would've you rather watched, a super serious ESPN announcer or these barstool announcers?! Barstool was far better and everybody kept laughing thier asses off throughout the broadcast. Forget the big networks, production quality was good enough and this was totally free (plus all the proceeds went to charity). Bring on barstool!

This is actually a perfect post. I shouldn’t have expected any more than to be part of a prolonged joke. Our program and this bowl are a joke. Back to my original thesis - which I would guess most will disagree with - I’d enjoy playing for an FCS championship against NDSU more than being ridiculed and embarrassed in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl.

Standard Wyoming response. It was “good enough” and “free”.

This was unquestionably the most fitting bowl for this program at this point.

Yep. UW, Wyoming athletics and Wyoming are jokes right now. We are just like the fat guy in the half shirt running for the tee that got pummeled by a WY trainer …it’s just that he knows he is a joke.

Oh, come on. We haven't played in a holiday bowl for 35 years. Those sugar bowls and sun bowls were in the pre Christ era. Playing in a bowl game that isn't even televised is of questionable value. But some people from Wyoming and Ohio got out of the cold for a few days. It's not that big of a deal. I thought the announcing was pretty funny. I wouldn't want to listen to it every week but I enjoyed it. They sound like the guys in the sportsbook who have a bet on the game.

Or less. So long as Barstool is broadcasting, I don’t need to watch another game.
I agree 💯. The whole Barstool platform was a complete joke. I would have rather seen us play in the spud bowl than that joke of a telecast today.

I get that perspective. I just want more. That’s all. Maybe it’s time that I pick a different horse that wants more than a nice trip to Tucson every couple of years and a trip to Boise the rest of the time. I hate mediocrity. Others are content with a Bud Light and a nice trip to Arizona. I get it.

Barstool was great. They brought comic relief to a joke bowl game for a couple joke college football teams. Go buy some Stella Blue coffee!

If you want more, you're going to have to hitch your plow to a different horse. I'm resigned to the status we've been stuck in for a long time now. And the portal and NIL are just going to make it worse. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see anything on the horizon to change our predicament.
