Well. Here it is. My thoughts on that one:

[McPeachy]

Tip of the iceberg...but here you go.

Dislikes:

1. The punt(s) into the asses of our own team. Not a good deal.
2. The -18 yards offense in the first half. WTF.
3. The illegal chop block call, that was marked off. Then reversed. WHAT?
4. The lack of holding calls on bWHYu's offensive line. I have a theory on this.
5. The bWHYu faithful. What a complete bunch of hypocritical pricks. They can't be proud. Wait...
6. Wyo fans that don't yell loud, or cheer at the game. You know who you are...you suck balls!
7. 3.2 beer. I know it was only $0.75, but still. We were pissing all game.
8. #19 for bWHYu. What a small man syndrome. A total pussy.
9. The no-call on the raping of DL on 3rd down. Unreal, and Unbelievable (see #5 again).
10. The smell of LES. Like a dirty diaper...jesus that place reeks.
11. The read-option running play. If it doens't fucking work 15 times in a row, it may never work!
12. The whiner fans telling us "great game" afterwards. Ya.

Likes:

1. #12's Pick 6. Nicely done Lewis. (?)
2. The second half effort (last 15 minutes of the game-time). Who was that UW team?
3. Herron's run for 47. Nice blocking O line!
4. Watts seems to be back on track...2 for 2.
5. The UW pants.
6. We may never have to travel to Provo again!
7. Pittsburgh Nellie's T shirts. Very nice.

I'll add one dislike:
The uncalled facemask on Mike Purcell as he was about to get to their little QB. I don't even remember what play it was, but it was in our redzone and they ended up scoring.

Speaking of which. Mike Purcell is heck of a player. Our d-line doesn't get much credit at all, but he was in on several big plays on defense. He had at least one sack too, but most important, he doesn't really miss tackles, and he has to be double-teamed to be stopped.

Agree Asmo...Purcell is one of my favorites on the D Line. I also think Ben Durbin has really stepped up lately.

Definitly. It seems the interior on the D-line is finally stepping up.

With the exception of his two penalties that cost us quite a bit of yards in the first half...

Question: Were they really penalties? Everything that came from the paid off home town zebras on Saturday has to be taken with a grain of salt (and shot of tequila).

I sure didn't see anything on that first one that was called.

I certainly enjoyed my time in Provo and I'm glad that I went. We didn't want to pay for a room so we drove up to the mountains over looking the city and stadium. We hiked around and found the most amazing campsite I have ever spent a night outdoors in. Provo is in a beautiful area, that's for sure. I have certainly changed my views about BYU fans. They were all very welcoming and friendly. But yes, they are still an odd bunch. I have never seen fans literally sprint to their cars after a game like that. They all seem "disconnected" with each other. The fans we sat next to spoke very highly of Wyoming and the history of our rivalry with them. I did however openly laugh while in the bathroom... Over the urinal was a sign to shop at "Missionary Mall" 3 shirts, 3 ties, Slacks, and a Helmet for $150 :lol: My girlfriend told me the one in her bathroom was to "always look your sunday best" and shop at the Mrs. Missionary mall.

We were sitting in the section closest to the field where the "not-called" Pass interference happened. Yes it was PI, but with under 2 minutes in the game, if the refs let it go both ways, that's ok with me. Let them play. Had we not come out with -50 yards and stupid mistakes in the first half, it wouldn't have come down to the officiating. Despite all that, I just knew we were going to win. I felt that ACS magic that happened in the Bowl game last year. I believe that had the last pass not been batted down, we would have scored. I think ACS was going for Burkhalter who was wide open on a crossing route. Overall it was a tough one to swallow and it was hard to keep my emotions in check leaving the stadium knowing we should have won.

Did they still play "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands" on the organ? That cracked me up when I was there in 1995. The other thing that stuck with me was the scowls from white haired old men. I wasn't being obnoxious or anything, just wearing Wyoming colors. I don't know what they were mad about, they won the game.

Screw that! The refs certainly did not let it go both ways. If they had we would have had another interception. Sure if we would have not played so terribly in the first half it might not have come down to a bad call, but it was more than just one bad call. They were calling crap (or not calling) all day long. Yet even with all that, they still had to miss that last call.

Both were penalties, the first one he was standing over the player he just tackled yelling smack at him, got to keep in control, the second one he was off-sides. I like him and Purcell and Strong in the middle. Just wish Stover didn't have the career ending injury as I think those guy's would would be a good rotation in the middle for the next few years.

 

[McPeachy]

I just don't agree with that call...I mean, if the GD zebras were keeping things consistant, they would have called that short puny little prick son-of-a-bitch #19, for the SAME penalty they gave Durbin, on several occasions. He ran his mouth constantly after the whistle.

I think it was because he was standing right over him, plus we don't know what he was saying.

 

[wellpoke]

I'm never one to blame the officials, and I'm in the camp that if we had played better in the first half, or not wasted so much freaking time on that last drive, it wouldn't have mattered.

That said, the officiating was BS. It wasn't called both ways, and the most flagrant one I remember is BYU lining up 12 guys, and waiting till the last second to send one off the field. Also that stupid little push-off that killed us all day. Both should have been called multiple times, and neither were.

But still, I'd rather lose and be a Cowboy than win and be a zoobie.

GO POKES!
