Pretty good stuff, and NDSU with 3 titles to WYOMING helps his stature, however, Bohl kicked Jerry Kills ass and he's #56... So Bohl should be #55.
Bohl #1 coach in MWC, #59 in country

Mike Riley for Oregon State at 27th...
I don't know how I feel about that. I realize the Beavs were awful from 71 to 98 like the article points out, but 27 seems a little high for a guy who somehow loses to FCS teams to begin the season with Top 25 teams.
I think Bohl is ranked a little too high as well. Best coach in the MWC? Hmm...

If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

Sorry,
Vegas has the Pokes as a 20 point underdog in the spring game.
On the other hand, they also have the Pokes as a 20 point favorite.

Leave it to the Wyoming fan base to get bent out of shape because of a positive article.
He has coached in the past and has shown his ability. Plus, he's 7-3 against the FBS teams...all on the road.
Nobody is saying he is the best in the conference...but at least enjoy a little positive press.
Go Pokes!!

The article addresses the fact that he hasn't coached at this level yet. It's not like they just pretended not to see that.JimmyDimes wrote:Leave it to the Wyoming fan base to get bent out of shape because of a positive article.

And logically...he isn't "better" than any of the MWC coaches as he hasn't done anything. That's all.
Dear Karma,

Lake, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but for those of us who have been around for several of these coaching changes at Wyoming, we have learned to temper our enthusiasm, and lower our expectations. A new coach is kind of like finally getting that great looking girl to go out with you, and then when you finally see her up close and personal uder the bright lights, you find out she isn't quite that pretty....lakesbison wrote:Oh the losers lament on here needs to stop wyonation!!

Right now Bohl and company are 0-0. I will give him a few years to get things going before I start expecting him to walk on water. Until he proves me wrong, he's just the next coach in the revolving door that is the University of Wyoming football program.
What is the difference between politicians and stoners? Politicians don't inhale...they just suck.

Well. Sorry to hear that man. It's a culture thing, I've watched bohl and NDSU win 43 of 45 games and I don't remember how to cheer for a loser. (Oh wait, I have Vikings season tickets haha)
I'm just saying. Culture and attitude helps lot, losers lament hurts a lot, that's all. You all know I'm a wyo fan

The fans have been hurt one too many times to feel otherwise. As recently as 2012, hopes and expectations were sky-high after Brett Smith, a TRUE Freshman....lead the Pokes to an 8-4 season. Many thought the DC era was going to be golden....pretty much everyone bought in. The chances of failure were minimal in fans eyes.lakesbison wrote:Well. Sorry to hear that man.

Needless to say, the team went 3-9 and lost at home to an FCS school for the first time ever. So you'll have to forgive fans for not immediately subscribing to the idea that all will be rosy. Seeing is believing.

Culture and attitude occurs BECAUSE you win 43 of 45 games. It's easy to feel like a winner when you win 96% of your games.lakesbison wrote:Well. Sorry to hear that man.

The fact that we torture ourselves year in and year out says something about our culture and attitude. We could have given up long ago and have had many reasons to do so. We don't. We persevere. We may whine and bitch on message boards, but we bleed pure brown & gold. We've been forced to cheer for many a loser in our day. We are not spoiled by bandwagons and fairweather, we are beaten, hardened, tried and true.

The article is posting with past attributes. Name another coach in the MWC that has had success like him? There are none. Hauck had success at Mont. but has fallen since at LV. Yes, even with his amazing year last year. Bob Davie? No. Troy "flyboy" Calhoun? Last couple of years have brought him down to earth. Rocky Long? He's known for turning programs around, but right now is using the success of Hoke to keep SDSU going. Practically all the other coaches are new, I would say as of right now he is the most successful coach "Overall" in the MWC.
And we were 4-8 when we lost to the FCS team. Maintain your credibility by getting facts right.
