Fair enough

ND, LSU, Okla, Miss St, etc all had much worse losses too lol. Their fans probably are handling it better.

I think the sticking point for most of us is the trend, 4 game losing streak and 2 in blowout fashion.

This run is not over if action is taker to fix the problems. We have more than enough talent on this team!

Things won't change. Bouagnon will run 20 times for 15 yards, while Turner and Wimann will only be targeted twice each...

You are unfortunately almost certainly right!

I was at Lambeau. Their fans were NOT handling it well. A lot of discontent for Miles and chancellor.

Watch Wyoming beat Nebraska on Saturday - lol. Then you may be thinking "Well wait, hold on here..."

Then if NIU upsets USF, bickering will ensure 24/7 about who's calling NIU out too quick and not having the faith, etc etc.

Long way until end of season!

I'm sure ND and Oklahoma fans are also not handling it well.

It is very embarrassing to me that you might think otherwise. I returned from Wyoming after a very disappointing loss but came back having enjoyed my experience with the Wyoming fans. What a great group of people. I want more for our program including moving up to a more prestigious conference but in the process I think we can still be respectful of the conference and schools we compete against today.

Good post.

We would take that any day, but the trend has been downward unfortunately. Good thing is that most of it can still be corrected (penalties and play calls) IMO.

All I hoped was that the winning and Orange Bowl would help us recruit better so that maybe somehow we could maintain at least most of the success. It doesn't look like that has happened. But we'll see what happens against USF. I do think Wyoming is better than they've been recently.

And I do appreciate the run we've had, which is one of the best runs a MAC team has had. Never would have guessed that'd happen in 2009.

I agree with the hope of maintaining the success...though look at Hawaii and UConn post bcs bowl...that makes us look fantastic. But on the other hand is Boise State. Still, I see a downtrend as well and it's upsetting. Good news is I am now a basketball season ticket holder and putting some stock in that direction....it helps keep my attitude in good spirits after watching the past few football games

Well I agree, UCONN is going to be okay, plus they have all those national basketball titles to clutch to. Also, take a look at Hawaii's, UCONN's, and Boise State's stadiums. There is a big difference between our program and theirs. Small time, big expectations only last so long. We need to join this century when it comes to our stadium.

Huskies have bigger problems right now than comparing the size of the bathrooms in our stadiums to other schools. I guess our problems could be worse,NIU lost t an FBS school whereas UCONN needed luck to get by an FCS school. That was so horrific to watch

Well, I'm not sure that losing to names like Texas, Houston, Wisconsin, and Florida State constitute "much worse" losses than going into Wyoming and losing to a Cowboy team that was one of the worst in the nation the previous year.
