This team needs a lot of players on Defense. If Sawvel had a brain he would use the last 2 games to evaluate Freshman who might be stepping into key positions next season. On to basketball season!!

Can I say that we have a crisis with college and even pro football officials. Last night there were some serious missed calls and clock issues. Someone in another thread mentioned that clock didn't stop after a Cowboy first down; there was another time where a Ram player was tackled out of bounds and the clock wasn't stopped. There was a missed targeting call by a Ram player on a Cowboy player that should have been 15 yards and a first down instead of us punting. Then there was the pass interference/holding no call on Durr, where the Ram player grabbed Durr during his break which cause him to slow down so much they got their legs tangled up. If you don't call the hold, you to call the PI or if it was incidental contact the hold has to be called. The PI on Parks was also a bad call. I'm sure there were bad calls that benefited the Cowboys too but game in and game out the officiating is bad across the board.

That statement is not hyperbole. Sawvel and Johnson are clueless and Baby Bohl is not ready for a coordinator position, Utterly profound ineptitude with the offensive game plan tonight; on a night we needed Waylee to have a heavy load he gets less than 10 snaps. Pellisier inexplicably gets over 70% of the snaps at the cost of King, Durr, and Sargent. The play calling was beyond atrocious. Anderson didn't get a lot of help tonight but you can see some of his limitations. Defense was its typical self: missed tackles, no pressure, poor safety play, failing to set the edge, no speed.

This team was not ready to play in its most important game of the season. No heart, effort, toughness. Sawvel is clueless on the sideline - all stoic when his team needs encouragement; then acting like a maniac when he should be composed. Once again terrible clock management and game management. Just confounding how awful this team is because of this staff. This game wasn't even close. Should have been a 40-10 games. Everyone should be fired at the end of the season.

In the pantheon of bad Wyoming coaches, it may go: 1. Sawvel, 2. Koenning, 3. Schroyer 4. Edwards, 5. Joby Wright

Maybe Sawvel will call his players pussies and we can forfeit next week's Boise State game.

Just awful. Totally outcoached by a bum. Beyond humiliating. Fire Burman for his horrendous hires and weak press release. We are doomed with him at the helm. Burn this to the ground.

...I'm trying to decide which was louder--the Pokes or the Tyson/Paul fight....

I wonder if Poke fans are prepared for how much savage losing we're going to endure next year. What's going to change? First half, the defense plays with themselves--then passes off duties to the offense the 2nd half. They even let the CSU mascot grab the boot with 3:00 left in the game. Nobody on our sideline stepped to him...

In the dog house or minor injury?

We sure didn’t run our bell cow like I thought we should have…..

Along with the following mentioned by Wrook Brown...Kaden Anderson and Harrison Waylee have both been quoted as coming back next season and that something special is brewing in Laramie.

I will admit that I have been extremely questioning of Sawvel so far...I wonder if I would feel much different if Anderson had been the QB this season from Day 1.

I wonder if this one horrible decision by Sawvel has clouded me on all other following decisions, I am sure it has.

agreeing to this game!! Take the money and schedule a few home games!

Amazing how many Lobo fans flooding NYC for the game against St John's at MSG on Sunday.... if only Poke BBall cIuld do the same.

I've heard he will be making the same amount as he was making as HC. Plus, TT has 4 million in NIL money. He is reuniting with a coach he knows from earlier coaching days. Good luck to him, I just wish it would've went down differently.

Just a few belated thoughts on the new look Pokes before the real challenges begin:

1. Enthusiasm - From the players and coaches? Excellent. If only the student body could match it. Ridiculous how little support there is for Men's BB from the students. I mean, it's late enough on a Sunday the hangovers should be mostly resolved.

2. Team Strengths - Relatively decent size and athleticism on the perimeter and relatively good shooting as well. Kind of depends on mix of who is playing, but I think I like our backcourt (more on that later).

3. Team Weaknesses - Frontcourt physicality. Always the hard thing to manage when you are down the totem pole in recruiting. Ebube has all the tools in the world, but it doesn't do any good if he is on the bench with fouls. Henry and Tainamo are skilled, but got pushed around by TSU, it's going to be real ugly going against teams like UNM.

4. Underrated Personnel - There were a few players who I am more impressed with than I thought I would be:

- Jordan Nesbitt - I was kind of skeptical of the signing to be honest. I saw a guy that had already been on 3 teams and last averaged 10 ppg in a very inefficient manner on a low major D1 team. However, I have been very impressed with him on a number of levels. Obviously the rebounding has been impressive, but beyond that it is so critical for this team because with Henry/Tainamo in the frontcourt we are at a real disadvantage on the glass (didn't show up against D2 team, but was obvious against TSU). His rebounding from the guard position will be critical. Second has been the passing. He has always had decent assist numbers, but I have been impressed with some of the precision and vision on his passes. He had one along the baseline from under the basket to a shooter spotted up in the corner. Perfect look and execution (we missed the shot, but you get enough of those and the production will be good). Obviously shooting is the issue, but if he could shoot he wouldn't be in Laramie right now, so happy to have the other aspects he brings. Love having someone on the floor that can finish a fast break with authority. Speaking of..

- Obi Agbim - I was happy with this signing and expected him to be our starter, but he has obviously been more than that. He won't continue to shoot 60% and score 25 a game or whatever, but he will be our go to guy and is fun to watch in many ways. A better shooter than I expected from the perimeter and one guy on this team that can create his own mid-range shot if needed (probably not quite Kot in that regard, but still a skill we need), and more athletic than I expected. Nesbitt and Agbim attacking the rim on the break is legitimately exciting. Last, but not least, is that he plays with some fire and emotion. He wants to win and I get the feeling he has very bad intentions for the opponent. Not comparing him to Josh Adams exactly, but that's what I loved about Adams. He was a killer and I think he is someone that others can feed off of.

- Abou Magassa - Obviously raw offensively, but a smooth quick jump athlete that is getting his first college playing time. A real asset to the frontcourt rotation.

5. Concerns - I still have major concerns moving forward regarding how we score when it gets tough against quality competition. I don't know if we have enough ways to force the defense to adjust. There is a future where Ebube could be the type of big to draw a double, but that's obviously a work in progress and against high quality defenders, as much as a I like Agbim and Nesbitt, I don't think either are pure creators/PG's. Defensively, I think we can really be had inside. Henry/Tainamo/Magassa just aren't that big and Ebube will give opponents an opportunity on the line.

6. Optimism - This team can be really fun. We actually do have enough shooting I believe as Newton has proven from his JC days to last year to this year to be a very high percentage perimeter shooter, Agbim as noted earlier, and Allen will come around. Tainamo can provide enough perimeter shooting from the 4 as well. Obviously that isn't Nesbitt's strength, but combine enough shooting with Agbim and Nesbitt attacking and the occasional burst of entertainment from the bench from Ebube and there will be some excitement. I am probably forgetting, but seems like way more dunks in the last 2 games than any game in recent years.
