Nov. 9 vs. Fresno State on ESPN

Possibly pushing this back to a night game. A night game in early November, against a warm weather team like FSU, this can only help UW IMO. I know Fresno is further north than San Diego/LA, but it still averages highs in the 60's in November.

If you had said this September 27, I would have agreed with you. Now? I'm not so sure. I now think the Pokes can go 6-6 if everything goes right. I hope I'm wrong and we have a miracle season of 7-5. Reasons for concern 1) defense seems to have withered and 2) DC play calling does not seem to factor in defensive alignments, IMO.

That brought back memories of the 2004 Utah vs. UW night game when the lights went out!

By the way, if memory serves me, that the same game Todd Christianson took a whiz in the press box trash can.

There is a chance your prediction is spot on. Personally, I'm willing to see how things play out. For some reason I still have hope. I think the one bad game vs the 4 decent games the Pokes have played might have had something to do with the circumstances as much as anything else. And think we'll be undefeated in MWC play when Fresno rolls into town. Not betting the farm on it, but I think it is more than possible.
 
Well, if the offense can get to where they were with Air Force and Nebraska, this will be an offensive shootout. Considering they let Hawaii, one of the WORST offensive teams in the country nearly out score them.

Fresno's defensive starters are pretty good.....they did not allow that comeback....the backups that did the same thing against Cal Poly did.

Either way, Fresno is a different team on the road. Wyoming will have its chance. The goal is to rebound by then.
 
Lol... shut up with this sky is falling 6-6 bullshit. Think the pokes are going 3-4 from here on? Wins against NM csu and Hawaii and that's it? Lol....
Lose a game and people are talking about Thompson playing and benching Smith and firing coach Christensen because we can't possibly get better... hahaha my God some of you are ridiculous.
 
Beaver, Kansas and others.

There is no call for bad manners. Everyone on this board cares about UW, and we can disagree without being disagreeable. Not everyone shares your youthful optimism, or my aged cynicism. Differing opinions are the spice of life.
The Pokes' wins over Northern Colorado, Idaho and USAFA cause us to reach differing conclusions. You see them as foundational to playing for the MWC division crown. Good on you.
I see them as no more than an indication that we are better than one of the worst teams in the FCS and one of the worst teams in FBS.
Last week we lost to a team that has been in existence two years. You see that as nothing more than a temporary letdown. OK. I think that if TxState can dominate our program after two years in the business, and DC has been paid nearly 10 million over 5 years to lead the Cowboys, and Burman has handled 10 times that amount in that time-this loss reinforces my opinion that our program lacks leadership . (other examples of turnarounds due to god leadership that are a bit closer to home include Boise and USU)

In my opinion, we had spotty showings against UNC and Idaho-got off to a slow start and didnt have a complete game in either one, but I was encouraged by the USAFA win. The hallmark of a program on the rise is that they take it one game at a time, get a little better each game, and climb into respectability. Smith looked like a world beater in that game, and the defense and offensive line were improved...In your opinion, that game was validation that Wyoming would contend for the MWC championship. OK, we disagree, no problem...

I think it would be prudent to avoid making claims about rolling the next opponent, destroying the rest of the mountain division and openly worry about the coach jilting UW after one win over a piss poor conference opponent. You don't. Thats OK, we differ.

Bottom line of this post: If you want to pump sunshine about this coach and this team, if you want to drive the bandwagon, have fun. If I want to be a doubting Thomas and sceptic, if I think DC and Burman are pisspoor leaders and need to be replaced thats OK too.
Just dont drive your bandwagon over UW supporters that wont jump on..or call us ridiculous. I'm sure you wouldnt want to be called ridiculous if it turns out we actually DO go 6-6.

I have to admit its fun reading your posts. For me its like listening to a 4 year old tell me about Santa Claus. I wish I could believe the pokes will contend for the MWC championship and that DC is the second coming of Roach.. I really do.... but I just cant.
So please dont come on here and be diagreeable. Doesnt suit you Beaver.

McPeachy, Wyovanian, Doc and I have been around for a while. We are entitled to our opinion-as you are yours...and in my opinion, I've seen great Cowboy football coachers and great cowboy teams, and this aint lookin like anything I remember as being in that category.

The problem is you guys act like you haven't watched another team in the Mountain West play this season. I do not sit here saying that we will be right there for the conference crown out of blind youth optimism, I do it out of watching what we are up against and how good of a team we are. I predicted at the start of the year that we would go 8-4 and I stand by that prediction. The reason for such optimism is we are playing in the worst conference in college football this season, everyone sucks. Fresno is a joke this season, and if you stop their offense twice you win the game, Boise is not that good on both sides of the ball, and USU is vastly overrated. The conference is HORRIBLE, and the Pokes are a decent team that is right there with the top four. I am coming from a position where I have not been a Pokes fan until about 2010 and look at it more from what I see than blind homerism. This board is frustrating this year because we win one game and everyone acts like we are going to the BCS bowl games and we lose one and now everyone thinks we are lucky to win 3 more games in a shit conference with one of the best offenses in the nation. We lost to a Texas State team, that I thought would be a problem from the get go, and frankly they will probably run the table the rest of the way and finish 11-1 (have you seen that schedule). I will stick with my prediction of before the season and I guarantee that we finish 8-4 or better, and if not I will come back and eat lots of crow. But the fact of the matter is we don't play anyone that is very good, and that includes all of the top teams in the conference, if we play a good game we beat anyone in this conference, that is why we say stop overreacting to a loss to a decent enough team in a road game with a 3 and a half hour lightning delay. That might very well be the best team we play all season, and it is most certainly the best defense. We will be fine and we will win at least 8 games.
 
I think coach c has been great for the football program. This is the guy that got acs Brett smith and nearly had fales on campus at uw. Three great qbs that probably don't even look at wyo without coach c. Progress has been slow but he likely gets us to a bowl game this year which would be 3 bowls in five years. Better success then wyo has seen in a long time.

Any coach at Wyo has a very difficult job because of a myriad of factors, not least of all is the location of the university. Face it, Laramie Wyoming is a tough place to live, especially for recruits from CA and Texas where recruits are most plentiful. You are selling them on a town wit nothing they can relate to.

Then throw in complications of funding the athletic program. We avg 20 or so thousand people per game and it isn't because our fan base is tiny, but because it is so spread out. It costs a lot of money to travel across the state for games, hotel money, food money, and tickets for the game. Wyo is blue collar and Wyoming has a lot of poverty. Tough go of it for a lot of fans to get to games and support the pokes.

I see progress in our football program and think coach c is a big part of that progress.
 
I am pretty sure everyone here (regular posters at least) want Wyoming to win, all the time, every time...or we wouldn't be here, and the board wouldn't exist. And for some of us, myself included, the drought is wearing. 17 years since the last 10 win season - and only 6 winning (above .500) seasons since. As I think about it OTOH, if I had only followed UW for 5 years or so, that wouldn't be as big of a deal.

ACS was a Glen recruit.

Wyoming has the highest per capita income west of Pennsylvania and one of the highest standards of living in the U.S. Our percentage of population in poverty doesn't even come close to that in states like Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama, where football draws big crowds. Fact is, there are a lot of very cheap people in Wyoming who don't get out much, as well as a pretty good sized group with huge inferiority complexes who cling to Nebraska and pro football, as well as a sizable religious population whose loyalty is to a certain church-owned program.

Cowboy Football drew bigger crowds in the 80's and 90's when there were smaller populations and the economy (at least in the mid to late 80's) was pretty shaky.

Fact is, the crowds aren't there because Wyoming hasn't been consistently competitive in well over a decade while two-year old D-league FBS programs like Texas State thump us. If we'd lost games to North Texas in the 90's fans would have been screaming for a coach's head. From Dimel through Glen, we've had three poor coaching hires, and, while the jury's still out on Christensen, the evidence so far is strong that he makes four in a row and has mired Cowboy Football in mediocrity. That's nearly twenty years of lackluster coaching talent despite millions of dollars in resources. It now becomes a question of vision and accountability. That question will be answered as the season progresses. If we dont' curb-stomp UNM in two weeks and if they gain more than 200 yards on the ground against us, I'd say we're in for another disappointing season after which our new president should begin holding the AD's feet to the fire, because, at this point, and for a lot more money, Christensen has performed no better than his predecessor.

I beg to differ- I've watched many MWC games this season, and yeah, no one is as good as they've been in the past three to five seasons, but Wyoming hardly looks like it's in the top three of its division and outside the top half of the conference. USU's defense would, at this point, be a big problem for us while our defense wouldn't be able to stop any of the MWC offenses. All that teams like BSU, Fresno, and even SJSU really need to do is stop us on one or two possessions to win the game. Seeing what our defense has done in the past three games, I'd say it's far more likely we'll go three-and-out than any of the four above-mentioned teams would. If this defensive garbage that Christensen keeps fielding doesn't clean up, we'll be lucky to get two more wins this season. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I have to call it from the evidence on the field. One thing I don't do is bet with my heart, and I'd be willing to bet you, at this point, the over-under for wins for Wyoming right now is six, even with three W's on the board.

We lost to a two-year old FBS D-league team. If we'd lost to a team like that in the 80's or 90's fans would be raising hell.

ACS was a DC/Arroyo recruit.

After that I am with you. Wyoming has a moderate to high income level, but on a standard of living basis is easily in the Top 10 states of disposable income available due to low taxation and modest cost of living (not as low as a lot of areas in the Midwest and South, but lower than the coastal areas with higher incomes).

We price our tickets much higher than CSU and had zero problem filling our expensive suites and club seats when they became available.

Our attendance problems are basically due to poor product on the field combined with the logistical challenges of getting 29k people in one place in this state. There are plenty of people in Wyoming that can afford to travel from GR/RS, Casper, Sheridan, Gillette, Riverton/Lander, etc. for Poke games, it's just that it can be a giant pain in the but (particularly in Nov.) and why go through that to watch the Pokes lose again?

Not buying this after a bad game, especially considering the circumstances. I've watched all the teams and not one of the teams in the MWC sticks out. Not one team. Our two losses have come from teams who only have losses to Top 25 teams. Texas State aren't world beaters, but they got us at the right time and the right place......it was ours to win until that delay.

I'll take your bet Wyovania....Wyoming finishes better than 6-6. Name your price.
