What Doc is saying is this....we need to lose and lose badly to force a lot of changes to happen. Otherwise, 2014 will be a repeat, only worse, of this year. Because if we go bowling...Stenberg can't fire Burman plus CDC will stay another year to where Brett Smith just might get worse. You want that to happen?!

We need changes at UW and we need it NOW!!!!! Otherwise....things WILL get much worse!!!!

I'm done with this thread.

The stupidity of the responses lacks sound reasoning worthy of my continued inclusion.

Good night.

Lots of arguing, all for not.......no reason to expect Wyoming to go to a bowl at this point. Boise and Utah St. games could get nasty. Pokes would have to pull off a BIG upset to go to a bowl game.

I didn't know cheering for your team to win was stupidity. I don't care if you hate DC or Burman, or both, but you should never be not rooting for Wyoming to win. We all want DC and Burman fired, but I won't root against my team to see that happen.

You guys should read Death to the BCS by Dan Wetzel. Great book that pretty much shines a huge light on how awful bowls are.

No argument here, bowl games are a joke and there are way too many of them. You should at least have to be 7-5 minimum to make a bowl not this 6-6 bull. There should be a 16 team playoff exactly like FCS and get rid of bowls entirely.

Yes, losing would bring about change more quickly. I completely see the reasoning behind that logic.

But to cheer for your team to lose? No. Give up on the seniors that gave us 4-5 years of their life so that we, as fans, get what we want? No.

I'm not that selfish. Yank's not that selfish. We sure as poop aren't stupid for not wanting to lose ON PURPOSE.

Says a lot about someone's character to try to take away something from 18-23 yr old kids just to soothe their own injured pride.

It ain't about you.

I agree with wanting to see Wyoming win but losing these last 2-3 games may be the ONLY way to save the football program.

Tell that to the guy that has put those kids into that situation through poor coaching decisions and the inability to make adjustments that will allow those kids the opportunity to win. Nobody wants Wyoming to lose but seriously have you not watched this team?

Exactly how I feel.

But no Doc has to cheer for a 4-8 season.
I want the bowl win, and Burman fired anyways.

But nope, we have to be awful.
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

I have watched this team, which is why I think you shouldn't have to be too worried about getting those 2-3 more losses you're wanting.

Have you bought your Boise blue and Hawai'i green yet?

I'm not hoping for those loses....just being realistic and actually comprehending what people are posting....you should try it! Don't know anything about Boise blue or Hawaii green as there is noon formation about that printed on my season tickets

Whether people have watched the team or not you should still cheer for them to win!
If they lose against Boise or not you should still cheer for them to beat Hawaii and Utah State.
If they get into a bowl game you should still cheer for them to win.

I fully understand what people are posting, I said that earlier in the thread. The logic is sound, the principle of it is not.

FCS is a 24 team playoff field starting this year. Even FCS is starting to reward mediocrity.

Did not hear about that. I always thought 16 was the perfect number for football.
