Well you couldn't have been more wrong PDH.

As I wake up here in Laramie I am reminded that sometimes is ok to be wrong.  It was an amazing game.

Pretty decent weekend of college football.  I missed the WVU game because I was coaching my son's game, but I'm kind of glad I missed it.  Struggled mightily against a IAA school (yes I know they're #2 or whatever at that level).  I'll take the win, but any fan of the team that does not have big concerns needs his head checked.  Not sold on the new coach but I would be happy to be proven wrong.  I guess it's a plus that I'm not seeing Holgorsen's sideline antics anymore, at least.

It was a solid week for the Mountain West.  Hawaii, Nevada, Boise State, and YOUR WYOMING COWBOYS all won vs Power 5 schools.  Yeah I know, beating Missouri is not like a real Power 5 team, but it was nice to see the conference have more ability to compete.

Next up for Wyoming is the mighty Texas State - I hope Wyoming is not still hung over from last Saturday's win...

Well Texas State beat Georgia State last year, which just beat Tennessee. Ergo Texas State is basically a second SEC team in two weeks for Wyoming.

Iowa 55, THE Ohio State 24, 11/4/17.

Ferentz is a miracle worker.

Dude... one big win in two full seasons does not a miracle worker make.  :rolleyes:

That being said, Iowa gets a W. :yeah:

Dammit.  I knew we were hosed.  Actually, I worry more about overconfidence and playing in 100 degree temps.

More like, ergo, Tennessee is now a worse embarrassment for the SEC than Vanderbilt (which has beaten the Vols 3 straight years for the first time since the 1920s).

See, coming from a smaller conference it doesn't matter which team you play.  When your team beats any P5 team you get to puff out your chest, complement the losing fans on a "Good Game!" while finding a place to drink too much beer afterwards - preferably with hundreds of other fans at 120 decibels.

No shit.  What does make him a miracle worker is his ability to make competitive teams out of skill position players that none of the big boys wanted.

The very fact Ferentz has kept a head coaching job at one school for 20 years is a miracle in itself.

Nevada and Purdue, for example.  :)

Head up to Alpine, WY and check out Melvin Brewing. The town is so small it doesn't have a mcdonalds, but the brewery is world class. I've been there twice in the last 18 months.

Loved that game.  Loved also that the walk on kicker got a scholarship.

Arizona has their home opener tomorrow. Should be a huge game. They had a well needed week off to recover from the disaster in Hawai'i, so can possibly improve to .500 with a win over an in state rival.

Have not been to Alpine, but went to their original location in Jackson in the back of Thai Me Up.  One of the best days in my adult life was when they started distributing Melvin in Ohio.
