Anybody know what’s up with Waylee and why he isn’t playing?

Cam had another double, double, with 19 points and 10 rebounds! He was our leading scorer. He has really soft hands around the basket.

Not a pretty game, as we had 15 TO's, ouch. Tried to do too much at times.

Could anyone stomach the post game show and listen to TOBC?

CURRENT MWC
Air Force Falcons:4-0 Maybe 8-0-- need them to beat Boise State at the end or USU beats Boise
Fresno State:3-1 Maybe 6-2.
UNLV 4-1 Maybe 5-3.
Boise State 3-2 Maybe 5-3; Boise needs to lose to AFA at the end of the season or USU upsets Boise.
San Jose State 3-2 Maybe 5-3: SAN JOSE must beat Fresno on November 11
Wyoming 3-2 MAYBE 6-2 Wyoming must win out. We would have the tie breaker vs Fresno, but not against Boise!

IF THREE TEAMS ARE 6-2: The tie breaker if Wyoming, Boise and Fresno are all 6-2 favors Fresno I believe because of their higher rankings --computer model standing

It is 41 to nothing in the 2nd quarter, and no I do not want Brent Vigen to be the next HC at Wyoming. Brent Vigen is doing well at the FCS level and I wish him all the best there. I would hope that we could get a HC that is not one of the hot young FBS assistants, they never stay long enough to unpack their bags. But maybe an older assistant at a successful FBS level who is up on FBS play right now, not in the past like Bohl. I am hoping that if he is successful that he might want to stay, and I mean actually having a winning record and maybe every once in a while actually winning a conference championship, WOW what aspirations I know.

Yesterday it said 52˚ and a 24% chance of precip. Today it's up to 54˚ and a 9% chance of precip. I can't believe how lucky we've been with better weather for the games this year. I think more families attend with the better time start and warmer temps expected.

No, not the Wyoming Cowboys, the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Ranked 15th, they lost to 4-5 Central Florida 45-3.

Overall Bohl is 58-60 at this point in time, which equates to a 49% winning percentage overall.

Within conference, Bohl has as 35-41 record at this point in time, which equates to a 46% winning percentage within conference.

We all know that Bohl's record is dismal when competing against teams with a winning percentage.

Within conference we are even more of a non-player, as in 10 years Bohl has produced ZERO championships and only 3 seasons with a winning record. Seven of Bohl's 10 seasons as head coach, Wyoming has been at .500 or below within the conference. We have only appeared in one conference championship game and of course we lost that game.

Bohl has not produced one overall winning season with double digits. Three of the seasons his teams had 8 wins, and two seasons his team had 7 wins (thank heavens for those early season lacky's that we play!) For instance, in 2021 when we were 7-6 overall our conference record was 2-6.

Frankly to keep Bohl as the HC for this length of time, Tom and UW has clearly indicated that they have ZERO expectations for winning championships. The only thing that matters is being competitive (at certain times) and that Wyoming becomes bowl eligible.

Speaking of bowl eligibility, it is vastly unfair to Wyoming coaches in the past like Roach and Tiller to be compared to Bohl. Those two coaches were coaching in a time where there were way fewer bowl games. I remember one season where UW had a 10-win season and they were not invited to any bowl game, and that would not happen now! I am tired of hearing UW crow about how many bowl games Bohl has taken UW to.

Quit your bellyaching. 24 hour rule. Buy your tickets to the Tater Bowl or the Murder Capitol Bowl and contribute to restore the War.

The first team the Pokes will face in the Myrtle Beach Invitational tournament on Thursday @ noon MST will be the St. Louis Univ. Billikens.

As I said earlier the Billikens are 3-0 at this point in the new season., having played all of their games at home so far:

1st game was vs Southern Indiana which the Billikens won, 75-63 and they were led by a 6'-5" Sr. F., Terrance Hargrove who had 27 pts.

2nd game was vs Lincoln (MO) which the Billikens won, 102-66 and they were led by a 6'-3" Jr. G., Sincere Parker who had 20 pts.

3rd game was vs Illinois State which the Billikens won, 80-71 and they were led by a 6' -5" Jr. G., Gibson Jimerson who had 20 pts.

All of these scoring totals by their top scorer in each of the games were their career highs. Also noticed that the Billikens appeared to start off fast as looking at the box scores they led at halftime in each of their games. Illinois State actually outscored the Billikens in the 2nd half of their game as the Billikens held the Red Birds off to win the game.

So this game will be the 1st for both Wyoming and St. Louis away from the confines of their home courts. The game will be shown on ESPN 2.

Anything to get that bad taste out of my mouth from last night...

What are your thoughts on tonight's game? This should be a better test than northern new Mexico but I did see DU beat cal poly by 20 or so.

I was impressed with game 1 for this new team and hope to see more of that tonight. I would hope we can handle them as well as DU did.

Excited to watch all these new players on the hardwood again.

Do better Bohl…

Imagine being down 14 with 10 minutes to go in a game and you are driving in the opponent's territory. You run a bad play on 3rd and 3 but alas its now 4th and 3. Shoot, bad play but guess what? We have another down to gain 3 yards with Harrison Waylee. Any damned football coach worth anything would go for it. YOU ARE DOWN TWO SCORES, a field goal means you are still down two scores. Craig Bohl trots out the kicker who has missed something like 7 of his last 8 or some damned thing. Shank. Ball game. Am I too negative? This sort of thing has happened all damned season and better part of the past 10 friggin years.

Trying to avoid hijacking the other thread, so just a few notes on some of the players that transferred out:

1. Xavier DuSell - Led Fresno with 19 points in their first game. We will be a starter and key contributor on Fresno (although Fresno will likely be battling with us near the bottom of the league).

2. Jeremiah Oden - Had 13/8 in his first game at DePaul. Will be a starter and key contributor there (like DuSell he will see a lot of losing again though, they lost to IPFW in their first game and will likely lose 20+ games playing in the Big East).

3. Noah Reynolds - Putting up big numbers at UW-GB (18/3/6). They got destroyed by Iowa State and beat a D2 team. Overall I am sure he will put up big numbers on a bad team much like last year.

4. Nate Barnhart - Rough start at South Dakota State for Nate. Averaging 1ppg and 4 rpg through 2 games. 1-9 from the field playing about 13 minutes a game. They beat a non-D1 and lost to Akron.

5. Ethan Anderson - Averaging 9/2 through 2 games at Pepperdine. The Waves managed to extend their road losing streak to 26 games with a loss at UCD. Most likely Anderson will put up decent numbers on a losing team again.

6. Jake Kyman - Scored 2 points for EWU in a 35 point loss to Utah.

7. Agbonkpolo - Is injured I believe.



From a practical standpoint, overall most of the transfers are not really missed if we are being honest. I wish the CA players had never set foot in the state, Reynolds is a good player but doesn't do anything that Griffin can't do, and Barnhart may end up transferring down another level before all is said and done.

DuSell and Oden are really missed. Both are good players and teammates (at least from what I can tell) that can fit in on almost any roster. DuSell defends and shoots the 3 which is a great combo, Oden was always one of my favorite players. I hate that they are gone.

I guess there is another name, but it's dead to me.

Bohl just can't win the big one, that is the truth of Bohl's program. Bohl will never win the MWC conference and he has Tom buffaloed along with some members of the legislature so he will continue to cash his very generous pay checks until the day that he retires and we will constantly go to a mediocre bowl game somewhere.

Wyoming travels to Sin City to take on the Rebels of UNLV.

I will transfer to you

Been pretty quiet about Bohl but he cannot prepare a team to win an away game. It’s almost deliberate. Way to coach up this team to only disappoint.

What a letdown…

Go Pokes!

10 years of Craig Bohl- 10 years since UNLV has had a winning season. Yet, here we are.

7 wins tied for most in like a hundred years.

Fire Craig Bohl. Fire Tom Burman. Fire God.

The old bald coach isn't going anywhere unless he retires. Same with Burman.

So what can we do? As a program? As donors?

The easy answer is always to hit them in the pocket book (Cut CJC, drop season tickets, etc) but that comes with collateral damage.

There is only one person that Bohl should be pissed with, and that is the bald face person he looks at in the mirror every day!

10 seasons Bohl, and it is just another team passing you by!

You are responsible for hiring, recruiting and coaching this team and running this program Bohl....and after 10 years this is as good as it gets!

We officially have a mediocre football program.

But we already know the only thing Tom and the Athletic department cares about is being bowl eligible, nothing else!

I am looking forward to seeing the big new NFL stadium on the Strip. Got my tickets back in June and not really knowing what the Pokes would be all about at that time, but more so to see the new NFL jewel. Big factor-- this will be my first time seeing a college game in a dome. Been to a lot of college games, NFL games-but not in a dome. UNLV is -4.5. Early in the season this was a 85% win for us--not the case this morning, but I like our chances

LOTS of Questions: Barry Odom revenge for us beating his Missouri team back in 2019? UNLV has been good at beating OK teams so far. The beat down NM, while we just won! They had two real tests with Fresno and Michigan. Will CB put together a game plan to beat a team with a Las Vegas heartbeat and pulse on the road? No Margin of error for the Pokes and we need**

UNLV on Friday Night-

Wyoming 27:
UNLV 22

**BTW--Go Spartans beat Fresno! I want to play AFA one more time this tear!

Big gameday! Gotta get it done Pokes!

Start your day off right! You know what to do!

Go Pokes!
