LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/ChargerFan2121]

I was keeping pace - I don't know if I got a 4th in me.

[u/JuicedUp420]

BANG

[u/EdselFordEdsel]

And the two point conversion? Maybe we'll be good enough by the end of the year to win a game

[u/EdselFordEdsel]

What did they say that was, our 4th touchdown of the season?

[u/ChargerFan2121]

Might have to do a new drinking game of drink a beer for every TD Hughes scores

[u/Crude-R-Us]

I’m actually in shock right now with how well Hughes is playing… where was his head when we played NDSU?!

[u/Thats_Dr_Anthrope_2U]

Where I want uw to win I'm more concerned that a win could save sawvels job. So win, but badly!

[u/amoss_303 → u/Thats_Dr_Anthrope_2U]

It’s a definite possibility at this point. They win this one and two of a combination of Air Force, UTEP, or UConn would get to a 6-6 season.

[u/Clowny53]

Never in my life have I prayed for a breeze, til now. It's a scorcher out here.

[u/Jusschuck]

That drive consumed a ton of clock

[u/EdselFordEdsel]

NIU makes the field goal to cut the lead to 11 with 2 minutes left in the half

[u/TooKoldScorpion]

This game should have been our new rivalry game instead of NDSU. Our games against NIU have always been elite

[u/Fluffy-History-7782 → u/TooKoldScorpion]

Ndsu makes sense geographically and you already have a long distance rival in Hawaii 

[u/Jusschuck → u/TooKoldScorpion]

There's some all-timers in there for sure

[u/EdselFordEdsel → u/TooKoldScorpion]

We do need a new rival since Ball State didn't come with us to the MW

[u/TooKoldScorpion]

Hughes is on fire. Seems like he is the whole offense.

[u/amoss_303]

This thread is more lonely than driving through Muddy Gap on a Sunday morning. Another TD!

[u/Crude-R-Us → u/amoss_303]

Used to take Muddy Gap to Lander back in the day haha

[u/EdselFordEdsel → u/amoss_303]

At least there was another Wyoming flair involved earlier

[u/amoss_303 → u/EdselFordEdsel]

There’s about 10-20 or so of us that are regular contributors but that’s about it

[u/Jusschuck → u/amoss_303]

insert tobias "there are dozens of us" gif here

[u/EdselFordEdsel → u/amoss_303]

I don't even know if there are that many NIU flairs total. Mods needs to post stats about this

[u/EdselFordEdsel]

Points! Making a comeback!

[u/amoss_303]

The old “ref beats ____ ______” chant is alive and well I see 😂

[u/EdselFordEdsel]

Will both my teams lose today? Probably.

[u/amoss_303]

Nice touchdown Hughes!

[u/AruarianGroove → u/amoss_303]

Nobody around!

[u/ChargerFan2121]

Wish I could be in Laramie for the game. Go Pokes!

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Yeah I used to Love NIU but Wyoming has improved themselves

[u/eagledog]

This game might actually generate negative offense today
