Anyone read any of those Best/Worst Case Scenarios for the BCS teams on ESPN? Lol they are pretty funny.
I will try and do one for Wyoming...
BEST CASE
A coach with the ego and sense of entitlement as Urban Meyer or Nick Saban walks out of the tunnel into a jam-packed, Red Sea known as Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. This coach is ready for a win over Nebraska. The difference between the two coaches mentioned, and this coach, is his name is Dave Christensen, and no one, even himself, expect the lowly Wyoming Cowboys to win this game.
The game gets started and to everyone's surprise, except die-hard Brown&Gold glasses wearing folk from Wyoming, and a few people from West Salem, Oregon, JR quarterback Brett Smith hits speedy wide out Robert Herron for a 75 yard TD on 1st and 10. The Pokes are up 7-0 with 14:47 left in the first quarter. Now defensive coordinator Chris Tormey is nervous. He knows what is about to happen. Taylor Martinez is about to happen. 1st down, Martinez rolls out of the pocket and scrambles downfield for a 60 yard run. The following play, no one saw happening, a pick6 by cornerback Blair Burns.
As the game continues, Wyoming is shocking the world, but not dominating. In the 4th quarter, Wyoming is up on the Huskers 34-31, with just 3 minutes left. Then Martinez scrambles for a 20 yard TD to put the Huskers up 38-34. The Pokes now need a TD to win the game. But, they have the QB they need to do it. Brett Smith drives the Pokes down to the Nebraska 3 yard line with 7 seconds left. But the Pokes need a TD, not a field goal. Smith rolls out of the pocket and barely escapes a game ending sack and throws the ball away with 1 second left, but Husker fans swear the clock was @ 0:00. Flashback of the Big12 Title Game against Texas start happening when they would have bet their lives that Colt McCoy threw the ball away with 0 seconds left. Then the Pokes bring in a big bruising running back named Tedder Easton. His first appearance of the game. Pelini doesn't know what to make of it, neither does the defense. They are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Smith gets the snap, fakes the hand off to Easton as 6 Husker defensive players collapse on him, Smith walks into the endzone untouched for the upset of the century for Wyoming. Memorial Stadium is so quiet you can hear a pin drop.
Wyoming then proceeds to blow out Idaho and FCS Northern Colorado. Then comes the dreaded rematch of the Howdy Doody rant. Christensen has apologized a hundred times, but the Cadets in Colorado Springs still chant "Jane Fonda" throughout the game. But Christensen, who claims the incident is behind him, still has a grudge, and Wyoming whoops AFA. After the game coach Christensen runs up to AFA head coach Troy Calhoun and screams "Whoooooo! Suck it Howdy Doody!" then runs into the visitor locker room.
The next 5 games are all high scoring games, but Wyoming manages to win them all including a 5th straight win over Border War Rival CSU, putting them at 9-0 and ranked in the Top 15 headed into Boise.
The Broncos prove they are still too much for Wyoming, and win 31-17. But the Pokes bounce back and win the final two games of the season putting them @11-1. Luckily for Wyoming Boise State has dropped 1 MWC game, and the entire BCS who is sick of the Broncos crap, somehow votes Wyoming ahead of Boise St. so Wyoming makes the MWC Title game.
Wyoming beats San Diego State in Laramie in front of a sold out crowd including SDSU basketball coach Steve Fisher who complained about the traveling into Laramie the entire time, and during an interview on ESPN during the game.
Wyoming is the BCS Buster of 2013 and makes the Rose Bowl to face the Ducks of Oregon(as Oregon State plays in the National Championship game), and Christensen shows the college football world that he is truly the master of the spread offense in a 51-50 win in Pasadena. High School junior QB, Cade Smith commits to Wyoming right then and there.
Wyoming is 12-1, MWC and Rose Bowl Champs and finish the season ranked #2.
WORST CASE
Wyoming enters Lincoln, Nebraska scared, as they should be. Star QB Brett Smith gets injured on the first play, and is out for the season, applies for a medical red-shirt, and a transfer to former rival BYU.
Jason Thompson thinks he is ready for this moment, only to throw 4 interceptions, and 3 fumbles as the Pokes lose 70-0 in Lincoln.
Thompson then loses to Idaho, but is able to get past FCS Northern Colorado.
The 1-2 Pokes head into Colorado Springs and Thompson almost leads the Pokes to a win over the Fly Boys. But because of some chop blocking, and faking injuries, Wyoming head coach Dave Christensen does it all over again. Mr. Howdy Doody part 2. Christensen is then fired on the field, and Chris Tormey takes over the head coaching duties.
The Pokes continue to lose games, and go into the Border War 1-5 against Top 25 Colorado State.
The Pokes do get up for this game though, and it is close, but as the game is tied with 20 seconds left Jason Thompson throws a pick 6 and #17 CSU stays undefeated.
The Pokes continue to get embarrassed as the season goes on. But as Hawaii comes into town in late November the Rainbows, who also only have 1 win, are looking to not be the worst team in the MWC.
The Pokes win in a truly bizarre game in white out conditions, 6-5. Wyoming goes into Logan, Utah and loses 64-18, somehow worse than they did 2 years earlier, finishing the season 2-10 as Jason Thompson transfers to Colorado State to play safety for the Rams.
Colorado State goes 13-0, wins the MWC Title, and is the first non-BCS school to play in the BCS National Title game, against 12-1 Alabama, who the Rams have already played and beaten in the season.
Colorado State dominates the Tide for the National Championship, and Nick Saban leaves Alabama to become the defensive coordinator in Fort Collins for the CSU Rams, as the Big12 invites Colorado State and BYU to their conference.
Whew, okay, hopefully some of you think that is funny. Sorry about it being so long. Hope you enjoyed!
I will try and do one for Wyoming...
