It is who we are now....I saw this last year after the UCONN game and got crap for it. Admittedly not from everybody, see Here:

From our terrible new announcer to our out-of-ideas HC to our terrible administration, this is not a declining program....it is a declined program. As Bill Parcells said: "You are what your record says you are." I would be more pissed at Bohl if I thought he was the only thing holding us back....there are so many obstacles to football success at UW I have a hard time mustering ire at CB. Not that he's any good mind you, I think a better coach could have pulled a conference title out of the years from 2016-2019 Cowboys but since then...not so much. And It is getting worse not better...even in relation to a pretty pedestrian MWC.

I didn't read all the way through so not sure if I chastised you or not, but, boy was I wrong, :lol:
I think I wanted to believe. I'm done now. This is BS. At least Glenn played the piano and flipped off opposing coaches when we sucked.

Seems to be a generous spread in Wyoming's favor. I'd have the line of Wyoming +9 or so realistically.

Hey being wrong is no big deal...at least not to me. And if you chastised me I don't hold it against you. We are all wrong sometimes. For myself...it was after that first four games last year when I realized I had been wrong about Bohl and it may have been for some time. The problem is not being wrong...it's in not admitting it.
I have to admit...I laughed out loud at the memory of losing and flipping off the other sideline.

In fairness - without the transfer portal changes, I believe Wyoming beats Illinois. The team that was on the field against UCONN was a LOT more talented than the team we ultimately put on the field against Illinois. My worry in the off-season was losing half the defensive starters…and based on what I saw against Illinois, this might be the worst defense we’ve had since perhaps the Christensen years.307bball said:

on my sportsbook app (Caesars), the line is 6. Wyo. is +185 on the moneyline. I'm very tempted to take us in this spot. We are at home against a less than powerful opponent. Just from a gambling perspective, no team is as bad as their last loss. Lines tend to over correct. However, that may not be the case this time. I will be in the stands saturday. Hopefully, we play better or I may have my 4 allotted beers before the 2nd quarter starts.

Playing a P5 (albeit a lower P5) on the road to open the season will be completely different than a G5 (probably no better than middle of the road G5) at home in the 2nd game of the season. So, I hope the Cowboys to play better this week. I just would just feel better about things had we been able to snag a garbage time TD last week.

I think we'll win this one, actually. We play so much better at home and it helps to have one game under our belt and they haven't played yet.

Seeing +6.5 in a few places now. A touchdown underdog in the home opener is pretty damn ugly. Curious to see if the Pokes can score an offensive touchdown or if they start out with an 8+ quarter touchdownless streak. Maybe draftkings or BetMGM can put that as a team futures bet: quarters without a touchdown >8 @ +800 or so?

I took WYO and the points. I'm with Lander and think we have a shot in this game.
Tough game to gauge. Tulsa returns their starting QB from last year who passed for over 3000 yards, but he lost 5 of his 7 receivers. While he is a better passer than probably anybody Wyoming can put out there, it's hard to see where their scoring is going to come from. Wyoming has a really young team and nobody who can throw or catch. It has the potential to be one of the worst offensive games we will see this year by both teams. Tulsa will stack the box against Wyoming's run game because we all know just how creative Craig Bohl is on offense (sarcasm). Unfortunately, I think it all boils down to who has the best punter and field goals. After watching Wyoming's really bad punter, I think this all favors Tulsa. Final score - Tulsa 9, Wyoming 3.

I think our only hope is if we break a couple long runs for TDs. This seems like the only way we can score TDs the last couple years without a guy named Neyor catching the ball.
