So we just need: someone who can throw the ball, someone who can catch the ball, and someone who can run the ball to be a good offense? It's a goddamn Mensa convention around here.

Akron is the perennial MAC doormat. Their funding and facilities are atrocious. They have no support and you will run into no people in Akron who claim to be an Akron fan (they all claim to be Ohio State fans). In 2023 they averaged 7,200 fans per game. This year they averaged 6,300 fans per home game. Yes - you heard that right!!
There are about 75 teams in FCS who qualify as tougher road games. If this is considered ‘tough’ for Wyoming football then we should just quit.
You are underestimating how bad Wyoming typically is on the road. Wyoming has definitely lost to much worse teams than Akron when playing on the road. I'd be willing to bet that Vegas will see us as the underdogs going into that week 1 matchup.

I will say the stage is set for a whole lotta crow. I might have to change my prediction to a breakout year just so I can be on an island, again 
MW opponents in 2025 for us....
Road games....
@ Air Force
@ Fresno State
@ Hawaii
@ San Diego State
Home games...
Fort Fart
Nevada
San Jose State
UNLV
Aside from playing both Utah and @ Colorado in OOC, 2025 is doable (6-7 wins or more) unless the coaching staff really has a season-long brain-fart!!!!!
I think you are under estimating how bad the staff was this year

Sorry. Not seeing it. Every road conference game looks like a loss. We will be the underdog in every one of them. UNLV losing their coach might help. But other than Nevada, every home game is 50-50, at best.

It will be interesting to see what the over/under on our win total is as next season approaches. My guess is somewhere around 3.5.

Looking at the season, Arizona State turned out to be a really good team. Not a bad loss looking back.
My problem was, Fresno State, North Texas, all the early games I think could have been wins if Sawhead would have made the QB change earlier, with the exception of BYU.
Is Sawhead that stubborn or he can’t access players? There was a chance for 6 wins IMO.

I'm not hence my "brain fart" crack. But who knows? The coaches might surprise us but I seriously doubt it. Hell, I got a better shot of meeting & becoming friends with a porn star than the coaches getting their heads outta their asses!!!!
Utah has no quarterbacks right now. All have hit the portal. Unless they find a diamond to pick up (if I were them I’d be calling Dampier), we get them early enough to pull off an upset. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Prime moves on to the NFL leaving CU in the wind. Lots can happen from now until fall, but IF the staff gets things rolling in the right direction early, things could be very different from this season!

They did call Dampier!
I would not count on it.
We gave up the most rushing yards to him all season. He came close against WSU (193 yards) but that was with a total of 28 carries. He got 207 on us with just 12 carries. That’s an average of 17+ yards per carry. Just terrible.
He will have much better players surrounding him at Utah. If we devote more attention to Dampier, their other skill players will beat us. I have 0 confidence that Sawvel and Little Bohl can come up with a defensive scheme to keep us competitive.

Don’t underestimate Sawheads ability to bring in a freshman qb and say he won a lot of practice games and should be the starter over an obvious better player. 8 games into the season finally make a change.

After the dust settled with coaching shifts and such from around the conference, I think we can sneak a couple of road wins out and somewhere around 4 at home.
I'm going 6 wins and everyone over the moon with PBJ.

This would be worst case scenario. There would be a lot of people who see ‘progress’ only to see us suck it up in year 3 and 4 before we finally throw in the towel and look for a new coach.
If it takes us going 0-12 in 2025 in order to get rid of Sawvel, I would gladly grin and bear it. Short term pain for long term gain.
I'm waffling between 4 and five wins...I think this staff will find ways to lose games, not the other way around....that finish with 4 home games is going to be rough from a weather standpoint.
The only outcome that results in a fanbase that is "over the moon" with Sawvell is a championship game appearance....maybe a third place finish results in more positive than negative sentiment I suppose. After this last season the people paying attention don't think he's any good and the casual fans say something along the lines that it is "too early to tell". If we somehow beat Utah and CSU as two of the four home wins you are predicting, I can see some of the "too early to tell" folks getting on board, but in the absence of really being in the conference championship hunt, I don't see people suddenly being pleased w/him.
