There's a funny irony here....

Surprised no one touched on this.

20 years ago (1996) we lost a game to the Evil Empire on a safety.

Two days ago we beat BYU 2.0 aka Smurf State aka Boise State on a safety.

Funny how life evens things out.

Are you referring to the WAC championship ?

Yep.
 
I wouldn't call Boise BYU 2.0. Their fans are fifty billion times more humble, and they don't engage in shady practices trying to kill off our conference behind our backs.

Yeah but they keep winning the conference title almost every year like BYU used to back in the good ole of the WAC. Remember?

I just find being compared to BYU is the worst kind of insult one can make, even if it comes to comparing how successful a team is.

Also pretty sure that the average age of Boise State isn't 25. :lol:

They've only won ONE conference title in four years, but yeah, that was a lot like BYU's last few years in the MWC.

Yep.

I believe we lost on a fg lol we had plenty of opportunities to stop them after the safety. BSU couldn't do much after theirs. In fact, a safety was better than a TD in this circumstance, winning points plus the ball

If there's a karmic evening out of life then we're due for about 15 years strait of success!

Boise isn't even in the same stratosphere of douchiness/cockiness/arrogrance as byu....

You know a quick way to shut up the BYU fans this year? Tell them that Wyoming still has the possibility of playing in the access bowl THIS season, while BYU is just struggling to get bowl eligible.

They disappear when you tell them that.

Sadly, they still have Southern Utah and UMass left on their schedule... so even if they lose to Utah State, there's almost no way they don't get to 6-6. :(

That is sad, and for whatever reason some bowl committee clamors to invite them to their bowl. Sux

Actually I believe that BYU is contractually obligated to the Poinsetta Bowl should it be bowl eligible and not make an Access/Playoff Bowl. Should Wyoming not win the MWC, there is a fairly good chance we play BYU in San Diego.

That is correct. BYU has an agreement with the Poinsettia Bowl for 2016 and 2018. Can we just win the whole MWC enchilada and go to Vegas instead? Just say "no" to drugs and BYU.
 
IF we have to play BYU, I hope there's a lot of Wyoming signs talking about BYU's backstabbing, crotch-punching, and so on. I might even be able to go too. :D
