Record this season..

After being disappointed last year I am letting my pessimistic view take over:
At Akron (L) I'm thinking like UConn we come out and step on a rake but unlike Uconn aren't able to pull out the win
vs. Northern Iowa (W) much tighter than it ought to be
vs. Utah (L) Ugly
At Colorado (L) Ugly redux
vs. UNLV (L) At this point the wheels come off
vs. SJSU (L) We are snakebit against Joser
At Air Force (L)
vs. Colorado State (L)
At San Diego State (L)
At Fresno State (L)
vs. Nevada (W)
At Hawaii (L)
2-10, prove me wrong Pokes.
If we lose to Akron, we likely end the year with 1 win - that coming against UNI. Akron is runny dog poop kinda' bad.
 
I think Anderson is the best quarterback Wyoming has had since Allen and maybe even the second best quarterback ever at UW. I'm surprised that he is still here. Four wins is the floor as long as he stays healthy. Without him ? ? ? ?
Two major knee surgeries have hurt him.
 
Geez, tough to guess. If Sawful (cant take credit for the nickname - but I’m going to use it until he isn’t Sawful) learned from last year, and can get past his stubbornness, 7-5. If he doesn’t give the team a chance to win it’ll be ugly.
 
1-0 At Akron (W) - Anderson Shows Growth
2-0 vs. Northern Iowa (W) - Home opener - gotta go with the W
2-1 vs. Utah (L) - I don't see a blow out but I don't see a win either
3-1 At Colorado (W) - Colorado lost a ton of talent and had a horrid recruiting year
3-2 vs. UNLV (L) - Conf road game against a good team - feels like a W
4-2 vs. SJSU (W) - Close but it is a home game - W
4-3 At Air Force (L) - Might be a W but AFA is always good at home
5-3 vs. Colorado State (W) - Last Border War at the War - Going with the W
6-3 At San Diego State (W) - Spaztecs are just bad
7-3 At Fresno State (W)- Pokes are feeling it
8-3 vs. Nevada (W) Home game against a bottom half MWC team = W
8-4 At Hawaii (L) - POkes always seem to lose a game they should win

Yeah I got my brown and gold glasses on ......so what.
 
Schedule lines up pretty well with no Boise. UNLV and SJSU at home. Going strictly off past performances. Decent at home. Bad on the Road. Always just a few plays here or there from winning 7, 8 games or 3 to 4. Even last year we had opportunities to win a few more games. Idaho, SDSU, Utah St and even boise were all within 4.

1-0 At Akron (W) -
2-0 vs. Northern Iowa (W) -
2-1 vs. Utah (L) -
2-2 At Colorado (L) -
2-3 vs. UNLV (L) -
3-3 vs. SJSU (W) -
4-3 At Air Force (W) -
5-3 vs. Colorado State (W) -
5-4 At San Diego State (L) -
5-5 At Fresno State (L)-
6-5 vs. Nevada (W)
7-5 At Hawaii (W) -

I could easily find two more losses. CSU and AF could drop. Throw in a stinker against Hawaii or something and we're 4-8.
 
BEST CASE SCENARIO 9-3

vs. Utah (L)

vs. SJSU (W)
At Air Force (W)
vs. Colorado State (W)
At San Diego State (W)
At Fresno State (L)

vs. Northern Iowa (W)
vs. Utah (L)
At Colorado (L)
vs. UNLV (L)
vs. SJSU (L)
At Air Force (L)
vs. Colorado State (L)
At San Diego State (L)
At Fresno State (L)
vs. Nevada (W)

PROBABLE 5-7
At Akron (W)
vs. Northern Iowa (W)
vs. Utah (L)
At Colorado (L)

At Air Force (L)
vs. Colorado State (W)

So many questions. There were some glimpses last year towards the end of the season that made me optimistic. Here's my absolute best case scenario and everything goes great type of prediction. I think SJSU, AF, Sheep, and Hawaii could just as easily be L's.

@ Akron (W)-Attendance could be a 50/50 split between midwestern Pokes fans and player families with the Zips faithful. This is a bellwether for the season, win a close one and it could be a long year, lose and it'll be even worse.
vs. Northern Iowa (W)-Would like to not see a close one against an FCS team. Likely the only home day game all year?
vs. Utah (L)-Utes have too much depth. Close at the half but they pull away in the 3rd.
@Colorado (L)-See above re: Utah
vs. UNLV (L)-This will likely be a gut wrenching L to the eventual conference champion. Flukey/bad break ending kind of game.
vs. SJSU (W)-Redemption win
@ Air Force (W)-Getting AF later in the season will be a nice change, I anticipate them being a little beat up. Ugly win but the Pokes get it done.
vs. Colorado State (W)-Lots of emotion, close game but the Boot comes back to Laradise.
@ San Diego State (W)-Toss up game but a close win.
@ Fresno State (L)-Fresno likely takes a step forward this year, difficult place to play
vs. Nevada (W)-Bad weather game, Pokes gut it out.
@ Hawaii (W)-Island trips are always scary. Focused team comes out and does enough to get the win.
