the sec and big 10 need to take the top teams from the ACC and Big 12 and go do their own thing. there's already a split in the FBS, just make it official and let us get back to the actual college football and they can have the nfl minor league I agree. I wonder why they haven't done it already? It...

I have never put much stock in comparing coaches at UW. So I try not to do it. I do put a lot of stock in an individual coach's record. As the old adage says, you are what your record says you are. Bohl has a career 61-60 record. He was and always will be a mediocre coach to me. Great coaches win c...

I am not one who has strong feelings about Burman but I've examined that lately. It seems like most people view him as mediocre with a small contingent that think he's bad and an even smaller contingent that view him positively. One of the criticisms of him is the fact that Wyoming's athletic progra...

Is Burman a candidate for replacement? lol

hehe...excellent characterisation of most of the discussions on here :P. The change to the division format may have some effect...though it should go against the teams that had to play BSU every year.... Anyways...again...I'm trying not to make a sweeping conclusion except to say that Boh'ls succes...

Looks like I missed some stuff with the number of conference games too. But honestly, there’s still so many changing variables that I don’t think affected all teams equally, especially in Bohls tenure. Divisions, no divisions, teams not playing the same suite of teams as those teams they are being ...

Got bored, and got started looking at the total percentage of our conference win's that came against AF, CSU, NM, SDSU, and UNLV from 03 to 23. Learned a few things, but that’s it. Lots of confounding things I would have to think about a lot more to draw any conclusions. Thought it would be simple....

If you want to make that claim, you are free to do so. My previous response stands. I'm just trying to follow your logic? Your analysis applied to dc would mean he's 1 of the better coaches. The context of my "logic" applies within it's context. Not outside of it. I tried to explain where...

I what to be careful so I don't get misunderstood. Your question is (paraphrased), "was DC a good coach?".... If my options are yes/no then I would say no. It would be a misunderstanding to think I'm saying he's terrible though. The back and forth that we have had previously does not exte...

So, 307, then dc was a good coach? Analyzing conference wins fire first 5 years, he's similar to Bohl. I what to be careful so I don't get misunderstood. Your question is (paraphrased), "was DC a good coach?".... If my options are yes/no then I would say no. It would be a misunderstanding...

307, I can’t follow your logic past this point. You keep going back to this idea “If the jump in conference wins per year were due, in the main, to a weaker conference.... All or most of the teams in common from both eras would have experienced an increase in conference wins similar to what Wyoming...

I apologize for being pedantic...but saying Bohl "kept" us out of the cellar implies that we were not in it when he took over...I would definitely call the team that had won the second least conference games (one more victory than UNLV) over the previous three coaches tenure, a cellar-dwe...

*sigh*...do you just not see the text that I write when I observe that the conference strength has slipped? I accept that it's not irrational to think that playing somewhat worse teams in conference should contribute to more wins in conference. Do I need to write that twice? here goes...maybe it wi...

I've looked at the conference strength stuff just like everybody else...I'm a Wyoming football fan that cares about that stuff. The difference in conferences between The first 12-15 years of this century and since then, is that the six teams that are still in the conference from the earlier time pe...

I don't think the people that rated him higher are looking to the AD to deliver conference championships. I did not rate him that high but I also don't look to him to deliver titles. I've long believed that the function of a collegiate AD has more to do with high attendance in revenue sports and ut...

I'm not saying Bohl was a bad coach. He was good enough to keep us from being a dumpster other than 2 years. He was good enough to keep us able to beat dumpster fire teams and some mediocre teams most years. In these years, strength of opponent really mattered. He also had a couple good years where...

When I get time I'll show you why your analysis is wrong. Some of the crappy teams we beat each year aren't the same every year. Csu fell off the map since Sonny. Yes, other than 2 years Bohl kept us from being a bad team. I've already said that. However, in a dog$hit conference you can count on se...

Conference win totals since '16 (Original MWC members in bold): BSU 53 SDSU 39 4.88 wins/year AFA 37 4.63 wins/year FRES 36 USU 34 WYO 33 4.13 wins/year NEV 28 HAW 27 SJSU 24 CSU 24 3 wins/year UNLV 22 2.75 wins/year UNM 13 1.63 wins/year From 2000 through 2015...those same six members: AFA 64 4 wi...

I don't know the "right" way to look at those to periods of time but focusing on SOS seems to be a version of trying to answer the question "who would win head to head?". Once you are separated by a generation...it's very hard to compare apples and apples. The need to remind eve...
