You forgot about getting downgraded from a Power 4 to a G5.

Not sure if you're serious about the RV thing, but you better buy used and hire a good independent inspector. I'm sure you know the RV industry is in peril going through a tragic serious tailspin? Avoid buying new at all costs, and I don't care if it's a $25K Travel Trailer, a $100K 5th wheel, or a $800K motorhome.

Personally, we used to own a nice travel trailer in 2003, (quality was fine back then), I would avoid new RV's at all costs, until the unregulated quality issues have serious quality reform and accountability.

It's a complete total nightmare....with all manufactures and price points. I'm only referring to new builds.

WSU is NOT a top 25 team. Period.

Because Mateer was 15/17 at half. If Arbuckle calls runs that get stuffed, he’s being criticized for going away from the hot hand, right?

I've watched at lot of videos on Bronco, and he'll turn around New Mexico. Once that happens, I'm sure the fans will come out.

Giving up 360 yards rushing should say it all, but there really is one category that stands out more than the rest to me, and that is negative plays.

New Mexico defense had 0 turnovers, 1 sack, and 6 tackles for loss.

WSU defense has 0 turnovers, 0 sacks, and 0 tackles for loss.

WTF? New Mexico had 25 passing plays and 49 running plays, and we could not tackle them behind the line even one frigging time. That is simply pathetic!

The 2024 Pac-12 bowl selection process requires that a bowl must pick a team within one win of the team with the most wins eligible at the time of the selection. Here are the 2024 Pac-12 bowl tie-ins.

1) CFP
2) Alamo
3) Las Vegas
4) Holiday
5) Sun
6) LA
7) Independence

Here is the current order of the former Pac-12 and I put the projected final record based on ESPN's matchup predictor in parentheses.

1) Oregon: 11-0 (12-0)
2) CU: 8-2 (10-2)
3) ASU: 8-2 (10-2)
4) WSU: 8-2 (10-2)
5) UW: 6-5 (6-6)
6) USC: 5-5 (6-6)
7) Cal: 5-5 (6-6)
8) UCLA: 4-6 (5-7)
9) Arizona: 4-6 (4-8)
10) Utah: 4-6 (4-8)
11) OSU: 4-6 (4-8)
12) Stanford: 3-7 (3-9)

If that is how it plays out, it means that WSU will go to either the Alamo, Las Vegas or Holiday Bowls. That would also mean that there would be a three way tie for 2nd place in the Big 12 with ASU knocking off BYU. ASU, BYU and Iowa State would be tied and CU would be the regular season champ. BYU would be out by virtue of the head to head loss to the Sun Devils. Looking through the other tie breakers....ASU played the stronger schedule and would likely sneak in above Iowa State.

What that means is that there is a high probability of either CU or ASU making the CFP along with Oregon (which would be kind of hilarious). If that ends up being the case, WSU would be in either the Alamo Bowl or the Las Vegas Bowl. If Colorado loses in the Big 12 championship game, there is 0% chance that the Alamo Bowl passes up the Buffaloes and takes WSU. If ASU loses, it's a toss-up but one would guess that they would take the Sun Devils since they would be the higher ranked team. That means Las Vegas if ASU and CU face off in the Big 12 Championship. If Iowa State gets into the Big 12 championship and wins, I'm guessing that CU goes to the Alamo and Vegas takes ASU with the same record as us. That means Holiday Bowl for the Cougs.

If Colorado loses to KU next week, it gets weirder. Near as I can tell, that might keep CU out of the Big 12 championship game. Again, I think the Alamo Bowl takes CU given the chance. If ASU wins the Big 12 championship, we go to Vegas. If ASU loses, we probably end up in the Holiday Bowl.

With our loss last night, the scenario that might get us into the Alamo Bowl would involve CU making the CFP and ASU losing badly to BYU and failing to reach the Big 12 championship. If that happens, we would have a better record and might have a higher ranking. I don't think ASU is known for it's fan support so we'd have a shot.

This is definitely a TL;DR kind of post so my apologies for that.

We are athletically much more talented than Oregon State and we are athethetically much more superior than Wyoming.

Have some faith. We'll bounce back, however, our defense is bad, if not awful, at stopping the run.

The upside to the loss is the dipshits trying to say that this was the most successful team in school history can go stick a dick in their mouths and shut the hell up.

Buddy, you were absolutely not the problem here. 375 yards and 4 TDs, 65 rushing and a TD. Interesting comment from Dickert that Mateer didn't practice all week (foot).

John Mateer shoulders blame for offensive execution in WSU's 38-35 loss to New Mexico

'First half was good, but the second half we didn't get it done'

As said elsewhere, our defense was horrible all game. Also agree that this defense bears no resemblance to the one that beat the mutts. Thornton appeared to be burned on anything that came his way. Score some Peyote down there before the game?

On a positive note, the sweet nectar commonly known as Coors Light doesn't give me a hangover (thankfully ). And the sun came up today.

I thought it was 3 side arm misses on the first possession of the 2nd half. Why not run the ball when up 2 tds?

I was surprised as well that they declined the 10 second runoff, no reason for them to need more time.

There are times to take your timeouts early on defense and there are times to not do that. I have seen it done both ways many, many times, college as well as pros. Each method is not infallible, but each method DOES work. You need to understand the situation in the game and evaluate the most likely scenario that will play out.

Last night, the way the game was going, the most likely scenario was that NM was likely to score and take the lead. Sad to say that is exactly what I expected to happen, but it was true. NM had been gashing us for the entire second half, and had scored 4 times and only punted once, and had not turned the ball over one time. Were the odds good that we would stop them or were the odds that they would score and we would need to score to win the game? Obviously the odds were that they would score, thus forcing us to score to win. With that being the case, the rational approach is to use at least 2 of your 3 time outs to preserve clock.

Here is the thing-do the TO's do you any good at all if you need to score? Nope. Are they a great liability if they have a turnover or do not score? No, they are not. Realizing that WSU was playing with the Palouse Pussies in the second half and not the Palouse Posse, saving time for your offense to win the game for you was imperative! And maybe having a couple TO breaks would have given the D a chance to catch their breath enough to make a defensive stop?

Sorry 95, but your reasoning is defective in this case. And yes, I was futilely yelling at my TV for them to use the time outs while NM was driving closer.

Yeah, hard to blame him, but the one where he floated an easy first down to Pululasi 8 ft over his head while he had no one within 5-7 yards stands out as a point where I said, we’re losing this game.

There-fixed that for you. About 900,000 trouble free miles so far. Sold one Highlander to SIL, one Highlander to best friend, and one Highlander to best friend's friend from his church. Those also have been trouble free. Two pick-ups. Four Highlanders, only new cars I/we ever bought, 0% interest to purchase is a good thing.
