Joey Braasch will be the starter in the Arizona Bowl with DQ and Dawaiian still out injured. Looks like an opportunity for some young guys to put themselves in a better depth chart position heading into next season.

In all seriousness - Being the last game of the year and missing our running weapons, we better be calling some designed runs for Peasley and utilizing his speed. I wouldn't be shocked if we see a game similar to last year's Potato Bowl where Levi Williams was the focus of the running game rattling off 200 yards on 16 carries.

Peasley is FAST. We've just been afraid all year to use him.

Reminds me of a guy I went to school with who was good enough to get a scholarship to play at USC but never played because he got hurt all the time. Peasley is FAST but not durable enough to take the hits if he becomes the focus of the running game.

Braasch decided he didn’t want to handle a heavy workload and bounced before the game. He will regret that decision IMO.

Well…………maybe one of our defensive backs, or linebackers, or defensive lineman or backup QBs, or OLineman once played RB……….

Insane. Why wouldn't the kid want to play? He could only help himself regardless if he planned on entering the portal.
Weird.
Weird.

I'm not going to call a player that. I don't know their individual circumstance.McPeachy said:
But I'll say this, like any other professional, I have changed jobs over the years. HOWEVER, one thing I have always done is to stay with the current job (and even do free side work while in the new job) to make sure the co-workers I am leaving behind are not left with an unbearable workload understanding that they have families and commitments too. I would never leave my co-workers or teammates high and dry. I don't know Joey Braasch and his circumstances but I highly doubt that I'd want him as an employee or co-worker.

I don't have a problem, in this situation, calling him that - or worse.
His timing shows an utter lack of respect for the University of Wyoming, his fellow teammates, and his coaches. Fuck him.
On the same topic, as fans, how can players expect us to be "loyal" to them (or even give a shit about them), when they are not loyal to our beloved University?
MrTitleist said:
That is an understatement. My wife was dropping hints she wanted to go to the bowl game, I am going to inform her that we should skip the game and spend the money going to some other warm weather place for a few days. The way things are looking , it sounds like most of team has similar plans.

Because the dates conflict with other dates of travel for me and my family, I unfortunately cannot go. But I have the opposite outlook, the more some of these guys jump ship, the more I want to go to support those that at least stayed through the bowl game and who are actually proud to wear the Brown and Gold and support their teammates. I hope our RBs (whoever they may be) run wild and make Braasch look like a complete clown for leaving an undermanned team before the game. I hope our backups on defense rise to the occasion just as the defense has done this year after last year's portal mess.
The portal is open until January 18. The guys leaving before the game have lost a ton of respect from me.

There are always a myriad of reasons why someone might transfer.LawPoke said:
But with Braasch (and some of the others) the better question is why the timing? At an undermanned position, Braasch abandoned his teammates before the bowl game regardless of what he thinks of the coaching staff. Unless he has a compeliing reason (such as family issue), he could have played in the game and still entered the portal after. In fact, playing in the game could only help him in terms of visibility. He has such a small amount of college tape that it is doubtful to me he lands an FBS scholly.

He played in 6 or 7 games, right? He isn't preserving eligibility.
This one makes no sense. I'm guessing he was gone regardless and got it in his mind that it was best to avoid injury.
It's important Bohl work through these guys. Everyone is blaming Bohl, but I'm thinking there's a cancerous core. It happens. Hopefully the cancers get cut out for good this year.
