Why Wyoming SHOULDN'T go to D1-AA

[whyoh]

I expect this one to grow longer than that "other" thread

Reason #1 we are undefeated in bowl games this century

 

[Wyokie]

Reason #2: we're going to be a super-conference in 2012 and we'll be one of the better teams on the MW side of the league.

Reason #3: We actually have some history to be proud of.

Conference Championships, Sugar Bowl, Sun Bowl, Holiday Bowls, as high as #5 national ranking, over 100 year old rivalry to name a few

1967. Also went to the Sugar Bowl that year.

#4 Cause fans like me won't travel to Laramie to watch a D1-AA regular season game.

#5 Cause dropping to a level below CSU is un-American.

#6 Because winning a D1-AA championship doesn't get you national attention, but beating SEC schools will get you recognized, especially in SEC country.

Of the current and future MWC teams, Wyoming has finished ranked more than all of them. Boise needs to finished ranked one more year to tie us and two to beat us.....but that is if the Pokes don't start adding to their total.

Because you would never play CSU or Air Force in Laramie ever ever again. How can anyone support that option?


Because we had a bigger crowd yesterday for UNLV than FCS gets for its championship game

Because the BB program would wither away and UNC would be our big rivals

INSANE

 

[COS Cowboy]

Because to date, we have never lost to a D1-AA.

 

[Danmully]

Because wyoming beats UNLV half the time they play.

 

[billings]

Because wyoming beats UNLV half the time they play.

actually we have won 6 of the last 8

The series is even tho

The series is even tho

Las Vegas metro pop 1.7 million, Laramie metro pop 33,000. Who has done more with less?
