On the positive tip for the Wyoming game, they were ranked #122 in total defense last year. Only 4 spots ahead of us.

Re: 2017 Schedule Released
My crazy uncle once fought a match in Casper after having trained on the oregon coast, he was fine for the first minute, lol.
When I worked in Rocky MNP living at 8000 and constantly going above 12000 it took me a few days to get used to it. In a few weeks though I felt I was running some of the fastest 2-3 miles that I had ever run. One of the guys I worked with definitely got altitude sickness just being at 8000.

They also did something that apparently we can't seem to do-beat Boise State.ifuwant2 wrote:On the positive tip for the Wyoming game, they were ranked #122 in total defense last year. Only 4 spots ahead of us.

Re: 2017 Schedule Released
I lived in Oregon for almost all my life in the Willamette valley at an altitude of under 500'. When we moved to Wyoming 10 years ago the first thing that I noticed was how short of breath I was just doing minor exertion stuff. It will be an issue for most of the team by the second half.Duck07 wrote:My crazy uncle once fought a match in Casper after having trained on the oregon coast, he was fine for the first minute, lol.

Re: 2016 Schedule Released
they stacked our 5 toughest conference games all in a row with no Bye. the bye is near useless because it's pretty late, and it's right after our toughest stretch and leads into our easiest stretch.ifuwant2 wrote:For an "easy" schedule, that's pretty rough. Bye week at the end of our season and before two of the most winnable games. 3 toughest home games, Nebraska, WSU, Utah, I would favor us in each game but could certainly see a loss or two. Our three toughest games period are all on the road, UW, Stanford, UCLA. I don't think we'll lose 5 games, but it's not hard to find four losses on the schedule.
I still say 8-4 with a shot to go 9-3. 7-5 could happen if injuries bite or new system adjustments are painful.

Re: 2016 Schedule Released
Yeah our road schedule isn't great. But overall not a bad schedule. We have both Wazzu and Utah at home. We need to finally beat them both.ifuwant2 wrote:For an "easy" schedule, that's pretty rough.

I'm still not sure how they pulled that off and then lost to OSU.Phenom wrote:Surprisingly, we beat Utah this year.UOducksTK1 wrote:Yeah our road schedule isn't great. But overall not a bad schedule.
