In his defense, he didn’t write the devoid of real substance article. Have to take it up with his AI tool.

In AI’s defense (although not stated), Wyoming is poised to play the worst schedule in its modern football history. Perhaps the schedule was worse in the 1920s when Wyoming was in the same conference as Colorado College, Western State and the Colorado School of Mines…it’s hard to say.

What really sucks is our conference schedule moving forward. The MWC is a pretty bad conference now.

Looking forward to the Central Michigan game (on the road), Hawaii (at home), NDSU (on the road), and SJSU (on the road). I think the Cowboys can win 3 of the 4 games.
