A quick glance at the Boise State 2017 Schedule/It doesn't look pretty/need help with this one

[outofyourmind]

Gonna need some help deciphering this some.
Not up to speed on some of these teams.
Input required but this is my first impression.

W Troy - I thought they folded the football program.
L @Washington State - No way they stop the Leach offense.
W New Mexico - I flipped a coin and it came up Boise
L Virginia - Upgrading the schedule will hurt Boise/Loss no doubt about it.
BYE
L @BYU - Another coin toss but it's at BYU so Boise loses a close one.
L @ San Diego State - Again, another close road loss.
W Wyoming - I got nothing.
L @ Utah State - They always seem tough
W Nevada - Are these guys still something/don't think so
L @ Colorado State - Boise will just be a bad road team.
W Air Force - I like the AF Academy but they won't pull it out.
W @ Fresno State - Boise splits the fake States series and pulls this one out.

Boise goes 6-6
They go 1-5 in away games.
Harsin is immediatly elevated to "Hot Seat" status.

I just don't get a good vibe with this.

why fold a program that went 10-3 last year?
By no way they stop the Leach offense did you mean to say again? because Boise beat WSU last year.
Oddly the Home team has lost the last 3 match ups. Game is in Boise
I got nothing on Virginia I'd bet on Boise.
I agree BYU and San Diego State are coin tosses
Wyoming is supposed to have the potential #1 QB. Wyoming won last year.
Utah State has been on the decline over the last 4years. no way Boise loses.
Nevada has a new coach pretty sure its a rebuild
Colorado state peaked a couple years ago.
Air Force trying for 4 in a row Ws against Boise so I dont know if I would say they wont pull it out.
Fresno has been horrific so I hope Boise doesnt have to pull it out.

You have officially been removed from my Christmas card list. I can see 8-4 this year, I'll hang myself if they go 6-6.

I smell an extreme avi bet.

 

[Boise4Life]

Oh wow. 6-6. I guess it could happen. As bad as it's been recently we've never lost to Colorado State and we beat the dog shit out of Virginia a couple of years ago by 40 something on the road in one of the worst seasons we've had since joining the FBS. Utah State seems down but I suppose you never know on the road there. Last time we went to Logan we lost by 26. And dude has us with a victory over Air Force but they've beaten us three years in a row. Shit, maybe 6-6 seems like it could be accurate. Fucking brutal man.

8 - 4 or 9 - 3

Pisses me off. From being one of the best teams in the entire nation to quickly becoming a middling Group of Five team. That's the reality though. We can shitcan Harsin and that's fine but with Petersen gone and the widening gap between the have and have nots it likely won't make a difference. Such is life as a Group of five.

Boise has a solid QB and RB. Worst they do is 8 wins.

Our tailback left early for the draft and we lost our top three lineman as well as every single receiver worth a damn except for one. This was from a 10-3 MWC team that couldn't win their division for the second year in a row and lost to 7-6 Baylor by almost 20 in the bowl game. Maybe he's on to something with the 6-6 prediction.

Don't let him get in your head. I bet Boise gets 9 wins this year. They have one of the best QB's in college football.

It's not an easy road schedule, I'll give the OP credit for that. Washington St., BYU, San Diego St., and Colorado St. are all toss-ups. Plus the Air Force game at home. Wyoming has improved dramatically under Craig Bohl, but I don't think they have the quality yet to win on the blue turf.

7 sure wins
5 toss-ups, Boise being Boise the worst they go in those games is 3-2 with 4-1 being more likely

10-2 or 11-1 season

Depending on how the toss-ups fall that is likely good enough to get them into the MWC title game.

 

[Boise4Life]

11-1. It sickens me to say this, but no fucking way.

I forgot to mention the defense. The best defensive end (by a landslide) is gone as is the tackle who lined up next to him. The top four linebackers who were stars (everyone of them) are gone. Three of the four starters in the secondary are gone and you could definitely the case that the one coming back was the worst of the four, at least in my opinion he was. This is from a team that lost to mighty Wyoming, Air Force, and a Baylor team that was riding a six game losing streak and an absolute mess. It all sounds negative, I know but if Harsin shits the bed again this season, he needs to go. It's completely unacceptable. I mean outside of Wilson who does Rypien even throw to? Our WRs are terrible. Could be a rough one this season.

These were my exact thoughts when I put this together.
Boise and West Virginia both at 6-6 meet in the #dontwanttobetherewhatthefuckbowl

Arizona has so many damn bowl games, maybe I'll get to stay home again to see it live like last year's highly anticipated showdown against Baylor in the acclaimed Cactus Bowl. At least I didn't have to travel to see the three Fiesta Bowl triumphs in Phoenix. Might as well hold on tightly to those. Who knows if we'll ever get back.

I had a good laugh seeing basically everyone picking Boise to win the MWC over San Diego State in 2016 and am having an even bigger one seeing those same idiots doing the exact same thing this year. Let's just say I for one was happy to skip those guys these past couple of seasons. Safe to say they likely would have kicked our ass which I'm sure will be the case this year.

And to be owned by Air Force is flat out embarrassing, but if it's going to be anyone at least it's a service academy. Which makes me think. You have us with a win there, but if you were to change it to a L we can just forget about the bowl game all together.

By the way, who is that old ass dude in your avatar? I'm assuming he's the guy who led you to 47 straight. What era is he from? I had a guy who was older than dirt sell me a car from the dealership recently. He said his name was Forrest and he started at TE for OU in the 60s and I believe him. Could this dude have coached him?
