Not only do the Cowboys NEED to win...

against the goats in 43 days, they need to score 35 doing so to make up for scoring a grand total of 10 points (on offense) in the last 15 quarters of the season.

Mora will have the ewes ready for the opener.

I don't sense the fan base is all that enthusiastic about the upcoming season, but I do sense that the opening game has never had more significance in determining the temperature and climate for the program.

This is the sense I get too. There is very little belief in the program right now and the fanbase is in "prove it" mode. A loss to CSU to open the season will cause a lot of people to tune out for the remainder of the season.

I don't think Jay Sawvel really understands that. I get the feeling he is hoping to cobble together 6-7 wins against the likes of Northern Colorado, NIU, and UTEP and proclaim "progress".

To be honest, I'm fearful of it turning into that ASU game. Hopeful that the new OC and players turn out great, and we are wildly impressed. Hearing Sawful on 1240 yesterday and last year, I'm still trying to understand what kind of program he thinks he inherited compared to what Bohl or Glenn walked into.

Frickin' SeeEssEwe is going to be amped. New conference. New coach. We are going to get raced. Our staff has literally NO CLUE what it is doing. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think I am. I have no faith is Sawfull. I'm Missouri...Show Me!
