Will 6 and 6 save Joe's Job??

Actually, I think 6-6 gets Joe another year. Do the Pokes have enough to get to 6-6? Not sure about that. As good as they looked yesterday, it was still against the Aztecs. Even with as bad as Tenn. is this year, they are still a big SEC team and we are playing at their place. UNLV may be our next best opportunity for a win, but it is still in Vegas. CSU will be the toughest game we have left. So, I see us realistically winning 1 more game (UNLV) with an outside chance (very outside) of another win against Tenn or CSU, but not both.
 
not sure about 6-6, but I think 7-6 does keep his job, how do you fire a coach that has given you 2 bowl wins after several decades without?

Did anyone see CSU play SDSU? Tenn is a much better team than CSU.
 
Folks, come on. I will be the first to say that Wyoming did a good job Saturday. BUT... it was against SDSU!! They couldn't beat a strong high school team right now. If you think that because we beat SDSU and now have things back on track to go to Tenn, UNLV, and home against a decent CSU, you have got another thing coming. I do not see us winning another game. Going to Tenn and beating them? Get real. I love the pokes but we have to be realistic. No way Joe keeps his job.

Did you also see how the Lammies handled themselves against TCU and BYU? They were in both of those games until the end, where as we were done before the half was over...Tenn has all but packed it in for the year.

Plus, it is a rivalry game...so, I stand by my statement that CSU will be the toughest game we have left.
 
I don't know if Tenn has packed it in yet. If they win their final 3, they go to a bowl. I will say that CSU did look good against BYU and TCU and they hate us. That one will be tough to win.

Yep. And...let's say (which is retarded to do so) that he does finish 7 & 6 (3 regular season wins and a luck in bowl victory)...he completely bailed out and flipped off recruiting this year. His career at UW is over as a HC, and probably before it became apparant to the entire fan base on 10/12.

Ok -Assuming a miracle; How are we getting into a bowl game even if we go 6-6? 4 teams are already Bowl eligible for our 4 bowl bids.

Utah
TCU
BYU
Air Force

Assuming Utah wins out and gets a BCS bid that might open up one spot, but unless Wyoming was the ONLY option, after the way we have been humilitated for the better part of the season, what Bowl would really invite us?
 
McPeachy...I'm not retarded, I'm a hopeful fan. Don't let your hatred for Glenn create a message board enemy with me.

Who would invite us? Bowl tie-ins that have to because we are only eligible MWC team left (see 2004)?

I know it is a long shot, but I am keeping hope like a true fan, for at least one more week. You guys are little disappointing.

TKoehn - Love your enthusiasm, and I would love to see us somehow put a late season rally together. I was only pointing out that as we sit today there are already 4 Bowl eligible teams in the MWC to cover the 4 bowl tie ins we have. Granted Utah has a good shot at a BCS Bowl, but CSU and New Mexico both have one more win than we do right now, that was my main point.

I was thrilled to see the Pokes finally play well on Saturday, but I guess I am a little bummed (like many) about the fact that we went conservative the whole second half. The rushing game was awesome, and I realize the coaches are ulta trunover conscious, but Stutz looked good throwing the ball, I would have liked to see us show a little more confidence in him and get the offense really grooving before heading to Tennessee next week.

I was not referring to you. At all. I was in NO WAY referring to you being "retarded." And again, Joe Glenn has never once (in 6 years) competed for a MWC championship. That sucks for most of us fans.

McPeachy...by the way your "Maybe, just maybe, UW doesn't have the buyout money" thread was retarded.

Whatever. Keep hanging onto that mediocrity pal. I want more for the University of Wyoming than being a stepchild-patsy in a mid-tier NCAA conference. Finish 6&6 is just that, smack dab in mediocrity for year number (10?) in a row? Not everyone can have the stockpile of meds it takes to enjoy being an LA Clippers, Detroit Lions, or right now...a Wyoming Cowboys fan.
 
I said 7 & 6 would save his job, as I believe Burman put down the 7 win standard out there at the beginning of the season. You said just saying they finish 7 & 6 is retarded, thought you commenting on me dude, glad I can save my fights at UW v CSU games for sheep fans only. It is squashed.
