Yeah, very, very slim at best. Plus, we still need to win against UNM Saturday first and foremost. With a badly depleted d-line.

It's definitely in the realm of possibility, but I really don't see it happening. I really don't think WMU is going to lose to Toledo or in the MAC championship game. As great as this team has played all season, I don't think we are quite ready for that big of a stage just yet especially as thin as we are on D-Line right now. Let's focus on winning a MWC title, then next year run the damn table.

I just read an article in the Phoenix paper, it s about ASU going to the Vegas bowl. They only mentioned the Aztecs and Bosie as potential opponents. Pisses me off.

The way I look at it, if you would have asked me the chances we would win the mountain division, beat BSU and SDSU at home, the Cubs would win the WS and Donald Trump would be President, I would have said, slim to none. So we're already in impossible territory, so why the hell not?
