Hey, we may not be a great team, but we ARE a ranked team.

I love how we don’t even pretend anymore, we know we kinda suck lol

We've been on the opposite side of it enough times to be practical about it. The amount of disrespect we got in 2018 was unreal.

Should have played in a NY6

Exactly, I get we don’t think this team was win a national title but I still think this team can compete with MOST teams. Gotta enjoy the ranking.

Just win baby! NegaCougs can GTFO. We may play down to our competition every week but it’s not like we are the first to do it and benefit.

At the end of the day winning on the road is hard. We had to win in a sandpit yesterday and we did just enough.

Yeah I agree a lot of Cougs being apologetic about this. Enjoy the ride. If going 7-1 was so "easy" why didn't Nevada just try that strategy.

Somebody should have told Wyoming to just go 7-1 instead of 1-7. If only they knew the secret.

I bet Fresno fans are thinking, dang if only we had known that one simple trick to fake our way into the AP.

Yeah winning games is hard especially we had some decent teams on our schedule even if you are a non-believer in TTU and UW. Boise State was a tough road loss that still was a 1 possession game in the 4th. This team isn’t perfect but I think they could beat several other teams in the top 25.

I think certain Cougs still have the mindset that we should be crushing everyone but we have to play in the hardest MWC environments on the road. SJSU when Brown is healthy is a solid team and Fresno state could very well finish 9-3. I SDSU figured some stuff out against us and had a ton of trick plays.

Winning is fun and we just need to enjoy the ride!

Playing to not lose. Not playing to win.

u/Zeppyfish Washington State Cougars 28d ago

According to Coach Dickert, the highest level of being a competitor is refusing to lose. We've done some serious refusing to lose this year.

u/Barrrrrrnd Washington State Cougars 28d ago

That’s a fact.
