1. Coach Bohl and his leadership.

2. Duval and all the crazy he brings with him to the weightroom.

3. Eddie Yarbrough-time for him to man up.

4. Uso Olive-time for the MWC to fear this guy.

5. Wick and May. A legit 1-2 combo.

6. Ball control-the other team won't have the ball much.

7. Strength of schedule: Outside of Michigan State and Oregon, the Pokes play in many winnable games.

8. Kids on the roster are finally ready to win.

9. MWC run defenses are awful.

10. We don't need a Brett Smith or Austyn Carta-Samuels in this offense.

11. 3 out of 4 home games to start the season: Start the winning when the weather is nice and fans will come!

I started it, you finish it...

12.?
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

15. The last two times Wyoming brought in a new coach, both opened their tenures by improving upon the previous seasons record.

17. Nobody outside of Wyoming expects us to do much so we have the ability to sneak up on people again. Ala 2009.

Well, I know at least 1 guy outside of Wyoming that expects us to have a winning season. Goes by suralexander and is a BYU fan on the MWC board. He's not a troll or anything, and is actually one of the few good BYU fans out there.

19. A coach that actually wants a defense instead of a bunch of guys that go out there when the offense comes off the field.

21. Duvall is kicking guys' @sses into shape. Our teams have always run out of gas and not finished strong.

22. A really weak MWC. Coaching changes, players lost, UNVL's post-season ban (motivation?), etc. all indicates that the overall level of play will be weaker. Not good for the conference image, but good for a rebuilding WYO team.

Actually I think that was repealed. Not 100% sure, but saw it posted on the MWCboard awhile back.

23. Sheep lose that guy whose name no one seems to remember but sheep fans. (see how many people get this one)

It was repealed so UNLV can play in a bowl this year.

Hadn't seen that. UNLV has been showing a little progress. Not sure on them this year with the bowl ban lifted.

24. Bye week after Michigan State game. Should be 3-2. Coach Bohl will learn a lot from what Michigan State did to us (and what they did to Oregon) and will figure out 2 things: 1- How to be more like Michigan State in general and 2- how Michigan State handled a great spread offense and how we can handle teams like USU and SJSU

*Michigan State plays Oregon this year. So let the common opponent talk begin!
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.
