Maybe I am over confident, but I see Weber as a tune-up game and nothing more. Defense and an improved passing game should make for a relaxing second half.
Re: Weber State article............ Reply
I see this as being a close game for a couple of reasons:
1. Weber State will have a pretty fair team. They return the same good system, same good coach, and have several veteran players from a good team that will be ready to hit the ground running....more so than the Pokes in terms of a system and a coaching / player mechanism that has been in place.
2. Wyoming will really be getting their feet under them and I hope they can use this game to really make some strides in installing and learning the new system as well as getting some good player / position evaluation.
3. I don't see the Pokes showing everything they are capable in this game partly because both the coach and team will still be learning and partly because of the opponent the following the week.

Triple WY, I disagree with you about our staff showing Texas our offense. It is not like Texas has not seen and played against Missouri. I feel that Texas will have a pretty good idea what our offense is all about. Dismal did that against Montana one year and made the game a lot closer than it had to be. He basically ran the ball for most of the game because he did not want to show our offense to our next opponent. We just need to run our offense and know that we can execute the plays. If the players learn how to execute the plays, then it will give them confidence to know that they have already achieved it.
I do know that some of our administration has very little respect for McBride as a head coach. They knew that he had good talent at Utah when he was there and had trouble getting his teams to play at their talent level. That was quite a few years back, but I know they felt that way then. I personally don't have a clue as to what the score will be as I don't even know who our qb will be for sure. But if our new coach is worth a hoot, we should win by three td's if our defense plays at a decent level. And I think that they will be a strong unit. I am sure the game will be a little sloppy at times, the first game usually is. Just my opinion.

Good point twisted. I too feel that the most important part of this opener will be to run the offense and execute a game speed. I feel the tune up will be needed and I agree it will look sloppy at times. This is where all the time in the off season pays off. Every game is for all the chips and I don't expect this one to be any different.
I hope the defense will be strong as ever, and if they are I think we can hold Weber State to 10 points or less. Hopefully about 9 giving them feild goals and holding tight in the red zone.
I also hope and believe that the offense is going to show up with their game faces on. I feel coach Christensen had a warrior like attitude and there will be no mercy. The opener is a chance for Coach to make a statement to Pokenation and I feel that his statement will mirror his own saying, "It's a whole new rodeo."
I look for some fireworks 30 days from now and expect to see some positives. Weber state may be a good team in the big sky but we can't forget that that is the big sky and this is the MoWest.
Personally I would be more scared of a team like Idaho, who used to be big sky but proved their ability to compete at this level. We didn't have much trouble with Utah State, why would we have trouble with Weber State?
I definately see the glass half full, I don't know if I can garruntee any other victories following the Weber State game but it would be a crying shame to lose to these guys.
How come no hype or marketing out yet for the FIRST football game? Reply
Its great that the Texas game is sold out, but that was a given!! Sept 5th is DC first game as UW head coach and weber st is the most important opponent right now! Sept 5th is what ALL Cowboy fans should be excited about, i know i am! The Texas game doesnt mean squat if Wyo comes out and lays an egg against Weber St! Hell even the MTN is touting the Texas game as UWs season opener! So come on Uw marketing and laramie boomerang, get with it and lets see some excitement for UWs and DCs first game of the season!!

I personally know big shot Cowboy fans that think we will beat any lower division team anytime.
Why don't some fans learn the lessons of life.
I do believe Weber will be a fine team from the Big Sky.
I won't be looking past them. I remember the Northwestern loss. And the Idaho St loss

Remember last season most Poke fans thought we were going to kick the crap out of NDSU? We were horrid, and very lucky to come away with a W on that one.
Ron McBride knows how to win in Laramie......... Reply

I expect a tough game, maybe Cowboys 13 Wildcats 3..........

It doesn't ever really matter whom plays whom. If you forget to get ready for any team, you will get hit in the mouth. Ask Michigan if they learned anything about that...or Tennessee last year...or anyone in the SEC that has had to face our team.
On every Saturday this season, two teams will suit the same amount of players, wear the same equipment, and play on the same field. Wyoming is used to being the underdog upset team, I sure hope that Weber State doesn't come in and upset us because all we can think about is Texas.
Although all I can think about is beating Texas too.....how can you not? That would be a great day for the brown and gold. Hell just a competitive game would be bad ass!
Proud to be a Wyoming Native!
LMAO!!! We play Weber St Sept 5th. And DIAA teams do not suit up the same amount of players as they do not have as many scholarhips as DI teams!
