If you think about it, Jesus was a transfer portal guy too.

Re: What MWC bowls are not "crap bowl"?

If it isn't on cable television, it's crap. I'm not a Barstool hater either. I disagree. I am not sure catering to the nursing home crowd is really helpful for building a fanbase. Any potential fan/viewer of any age has either cable or a streaming service. The AZ bowl cannot be seen on either. It r...

Re: 2024...

Sounds like we will be replacing our starting linebackers, nose tackle and defensive tackle next year. We should be loaded at defensive end though. We'll reload on the D line. Gavin Meyer, Ben Florentine, and Caleb Robinson have been damn good backing up Godbout and Bertagnole. We've got a ton of d...

Re: Wyoming at Nevada

It’s going to be a weird atmosphere in a cold, empty stadium Reminds me of Joser in 2017 (when they were also the worst team in the league) and we went in and lost with Nick Smith playing QB in the last game of the year. I think they had a double digit losing streak and we must have been at least 1...

Re: Bills

Been wondering that for two years... can barely keep their QB upright. As a long-time Bills fan, I think McDermott was a guy to get the boat turned around, but probably not the guy to get us to a SB. 2022 was proof of that. I would like to see someone other than McDermott get a chance to lead the t...

Re: Taylor Benched

He has NFL talent but cant turn around and find the ball I have thought for a few years that our outside CB's are poorly coached in general. If they don't get beat in coverage, they can't make a play on a contested ball or get called for DPI because they are late turning around and have to mug the ...

Re: Why didn't Waylee play in first quarter?

Honestly, it's one of the things I respect about Bohl. Nobody is above the team and no game is more important than the team. I have no idea what the issue was so won't comment much. I'm with you. Of all the justified things to criticize Bohl for, off-field discipline is not one. So many programs do...

Just canned their Offensive Coordinator. I think McDermott has earned enough goodwill to last through the season but will be fired next. What a debacle of a season.

I was surprised it was that high. I haven't paid too close of attention to HI. Is their run D bad?
They just held Air Force to 4.3 YPC. Which is better than any other Mountain West team has managed this year. Wyoming has given up the most BTW (6.7).

Re: Coach Opinion Poll

For me, looking at the 2016 roster answers this question pretty easily.

Losing six football games with that team is criminal. Don't know that I'll ever get over it either.

Re: Road Woes

Hard to win on the road when you have no offense. UNLV just hung 50 on New Mexico. When's the last time we hung 50 on anyone? How about 40? In 3 road games this year, we've scored the grand total of 44 points. So yeah, I'm not betting on us this week. Even with 3 turnovers, we only scored 24 last w...

Re: What an absolute embarrassment

Look where Wyoming ranks in the NCAA in punt and kick returns. Before he was dismissed, I always thought DQ should be fielding both. Of course, when was the last time a Craig Bohl team had a dynamic punt & kick returner? NEVER. Forget dynamic, I can't remember when we had a returner who was eve...

Re: UNLV won't be a cakewalk

My prediction on Michigan....they will get hammered by the NCAA AFTER they play in the National Championship which they might. The Big Ten won't bar them from playing in the Big Ten Championship game this year. If that happens I wonder what sort of odds you can get on Harbaugh leaving for the NFL? ...

Re: Linemakers still disrespecting us: +5 at Boise st.

I'm amazed. I actually thought we would be the favorite - maybe by a point or 2. This line is purely based on Boise state's reputation of years gone by. We've covered every time as an underdog this year. If we don't win this game, then we aren't as good as I thought we were. This is a really medioc...
