Re: What really sucks about the next game

I am so over all this how good it will be for the conference if TCU wins. Maybe its just me, but the Pokes always come before the conference. I hope we beat the tar out of the Frogs. I do believe that the MWC is better than the Big East, and deserves a yearly Automatic BCS bid, however I think the B...

No wonder we have been inconsitent...maybe someone should call DC up and tell him that all we have to do is score more points than the other team and we will win. :rofl:

Re: How much does this game tell us about Christensen?

Unfortunately, I can’t gage DC’s success of future success on this season, little lone this game. I am tired of being a patient fan and am VERY tired of saying “there is always next year.” Even though it is ten games, it isn’t going to change overnight. Kyle Whittingham went 7-5 his first year of t...

Re: Keys to the Game

And I agree bump & run would be a nice change to see, but you have to have 2 safety's that are complete bad asses...and we don't. Gary is a freshman (and it shows at times) and Prosinski has gotten burned more times this year than a pyro at a firestarters convention. Prosinski is a bad ass, whe...

Veterans Day

Thanks to all the Veterans! I know this isn't a football topic but they deserve so much more thanks than we give them.

To make it slightly about football, I really like the flags that the football team is carrying onto the field for the rest of the season.

Go Pokes! God Bless America!

I'm with McP.. to an extent. I like to see the stadium full, but don't rain on my parade if I stand up and get a little crazy. I had some asswipe throwing stuff at me a couple weeks ago because I would stand up and cheer (like a few people around me), but don't tell me to sit down.. if you don't li...

Re: Best part of UW football game Saturday

I have to dis agree McP...I am not a fan of that rant. Pokes fans shouldn't be name calling amongst ourselves. While I agree I would like to see more energy out of the West Stands, the fact is all Pokes fans should be welcome and going to the game regardless of age, the deed, etc. The more the merri...

Re: 4 down territory from here on out

It's puzzling to me as well. We tried to line up an simply beat BYU head on. Not gonna happen! We should have played press coverage, go for interceptions, blitz, take some chances! I see us trying to play like a program who can simply go out and just beat teams with talent alone. Maybe DC isn't wat...

Re: Tom Berry - Palomar JC

Haven't heard about him...looks like he could use another 20-40 lbs on him, but good to see we are recruiting against bigger schools. At least shows the caliber of players we are shooting for theses days.

Re: The Drive Killer

New nickname for Robert Benjamin. 1-2 with an interception, and a fumble on his 2nd carry. Every time this guys touches the ball he hands it to the other team. I don't care how athletic he is, he is not a D1 football player. Strip him of his scholarship and take away anything he owns that says he p...

Re: Why don't people come to the games

I would like to preface all this by saying I haven't missed a home game in over 7 years, and would do everything to be at a Pokes game but...... It's a pure numbers game. The state has approx 500K pop. Most D1 colleges have that population within a 20 mile radius of campus. We like to think that Wyo...

Re: Black uniforms

I don't understand wearing a color that isn't representative of the school at all. Does it really do anything for the team or fans to wear black if its not part of a color scheme? Honestly I thought Tennessee wearing black was pointless. People can argue/complain about our color scheme all they want...

Re: Need a win against a team that is/was ranked

You agree we are a team in transition...but the season won't be a success unless we beat a top 25 (TCU top 5) team? Those are some pretty impossible expectations in my book. Transition teams can't be EXPECTED to beat the absolute cream of the crop. You're going to be awfully disappointed if you are...

Re: Need a win against a team that is/was ranked

I don't think its fair to judge this season on our ability to beat BYU and certainly not TCU. I think BYU is very winnable but if we lose, I don't think the season should be judged a failure. As disappointing as only winning 1 of the rest of the games would be, I think that would still constitute a...

Need a win against a team that is/was ranked

In my opinion the Pokes need to find a way to beat either BYU or TCU to make this season a success. I realize we were picked to finish last in the MWC this year but I think that was mainly based on uncertainty with a new coach and a new system. So far we have faired about how I expected, minus a hor...

Re: Classic quote from the head coach

I don't think DC's quote was intended to mean that ACS is playing stellar, rather that he is doing everything he can to do his job, and we need other guys to step up and do theirs, including the coaching staff. If a team is going to blitz and pressure ACS the coaches need to figure out a way to make...
