Holding on to our #8 ranking

I truly believe (with the right leadership) Wyoming could be competitive with any team in the MWC. A change in culture is sorely needed. It’s way past time for Wyoming to stop being an embarrassment and revert back to being the pride of the state.

As I stated in another post - NDSU has a WIN mentality. Wyoming calls being average at getting to .500 a winner because with the prolonged periods of accepted failure .500 feels like a win.

The pay huge bucks to be up with the big boys (that left Wyoming out) would be fine and dandy if it produced results.

I was super frustrated with the stubbornness of Bohl insisting his lack of offense was a way to be competitive. At the same time I would count the programs nationally getting to 6 wins in hopes that our 6-6 (2-6) record would get us at-large bid if we didn’t get a guaranteed conference bowl.

I would really like to feel the euphoria that comes with being the top dog in conference before my time expires. I’m closer to the finish line and that is why I get so frustrated with the Wyoming traditions of “wait until next year” and “we can’t do anything about the failures for 5 years”.

I am in the same boat my man. Life goes by pretty damn fast. Burman pissed away & wasted 20 years of my fandom and love for UW athletics, no other way to put it. Other than a few small blips, being a Wyoming fan has been absolutely brutal during his tenure.

Imagine if we were from El Paso. We would not be talking 20 years with only 8 seasons over .500. We would be talking almost the equivalent of being a newborn nearly eligible for Medicare and SS. I grew up knowing Wyoming as a powerhouse and loved seeing the UPI polls.

Football at UTEP has produced 7 seasons above .500 since joining the WAC in 1968 and it looks like they are on track to make it 7 in 60 years if they don’t turn it around in 2027.

That is brutal!

The negative part - Wyoming is now considered to be on the same level as UTEP in the world of college football - a bottom feeder conference member.
