2015 Predictions: Win Total

[Wyokie]

6-6 and an accepted invite to the Arizona Bowl.

What are the tie-in's for that game? Who would Wyoming play potentially?

C-USA and MW are the tie-ins. BTW, the game is scheduled for Dec. 29th on CBS Sports.

I agree with Ward & June's son, Beaver.

I feel like we could get either UNM or AZ Bowl but I'd like to see us go to a different Bowl instead of always the same one and I think Arizona is a good enough location.

I would prefer the AZ Bowl over the NM Bowl simply because unless a NY6 Bowl Game, seeing your team in the same bowl for 3 straight bowl trips kinda sucks.

I want us to have banners for dozens of bowl games, not just 1 bowl game a bunch of times.

Okay, but what if the Pokes play a Pac-12 team in New Mexico?

Wyoming vs. Washington - New Mexico Bowl
Wyoming vs. North Texas - Arizona Bowl

Sacrifice better opponent that gives the program more respect if the Pokes win for a different location?

 

[WYCowboy]

If Wyoming gets to a 6 - 6 record this year and New Mexico gets to a 6 - 6 record this year, guess who will go to the New Mexico bowl.

Sure beating a Pac12 school is better than beating a nobody, but I feel like if Bohl is building the program to where he thinks it can go, then the conference of our opponents in our early bowl games of the Bohl tenure won't matter.

Beating Washington in the 2015 Crap Bowl won't be the turning point of our program, or be the signature win we look back on in a few years.

Depends on which game gets first pick.

BTW, the MAC is the backup conference for this game

Don't you live in Arizona ? May that be why you think it is a "good enough" location for the bowl game? Don't lie you want to go to a bowl game right down the road from where you live don't you? :lol:

I like that prediction. This is if we play up to our potential and stay relatively healthy.

No I meant good enough as in distance wise where we should still get fan support. If we get to a Bowl game this year I'm going to it.

But let's be honest fan support would suck anywhere east of Texas.

 

[djm19]

Not one person voted for 1-2 wins. Crazy what we saw and what we are seeing.

 

[TSpoke]

But...we were told by several posters we were crazy to expect to have a better year than we are having and it was obvious we would be this bad because we have to tear things down to build up from scratch and its all part of the plan. Surely someone would have predicted 1 win.

 

[SDPokeFan]

JimmyDimes predicted 7 to 8 wins. Clearly he was drunk when he posted that. It's funny how the people who predicted the most wins are now the ones telling us how they knew all along how terrible we would be. I agree, TSpoke.

 

[WestWYOPoke]

And this is why I didn't post in this thread when it first came out. I voted, picked 3-5 as I was expecting 3 or 4 wins, but I didn't feel like putting my name to any predictions, especially since they were going to be fairly pessimistic. Still blows my mind that anyone thought we would win 6-8 let alone the majority of the voters. Hopefully it was a case of voting with their hearts and not their heads; hell, even I was too optimistic expecting 3 wins.

 

[LanderPoke]

FWIW we've played the absolute hardest MW schedule possible. Got SDSU, Nevada and UNLV from the other division.

I think playing hapless North Dakota and Eastern Michigan sort of balanced that out.

 

[ragtimejoe1]

hardest MW schedule

Here are 3 words that don't belong together. Sort of like, hardest pudding, hardest feather bed, hardest bag of cotton balls, etc.

Who cares. It's not worth anything. Bohl sucks. Wyo sucks. End of story.
