Well, I guess there is the option to return to stable cellar dwellers. I remember the quotes in one of the Denver newspapers where Joe Glenn had asked why you can't win at Wyo, and the response was that's just the way it is. In the BCS era, that has been true through several coaches.
Granted competition is MUCH weaker, Bohl has at least stabilized us to .500 or better. I think that takes time. The next step is about to begin where we start getting up to those 8+ win seasons and challenging for the conference.
