Every program has a frustrating trend no doubt. What’s your team’s?
For Wyoming, (full disclosure the program is always going to be frustrating unless you keep your expectations realistic) I would say, just about every year, no matter how good or bad the season, they lay a complete egg in at least one game. Even in 2016, their best season of the 2000s, winning the division with Josh Allen at the helm, they got their socks knocked off by a terrible Eastern Michigan team and fans were calling for Craig Bohl’s head as the previous season was one of the worst in team history and this head scratching blowout loss came early.
For Arizona, it’s having one lighnting in a bottle season (1993, 1998, 2014, 2023) where it feels like everything is coming together and they are just on the doorstep of being a nationally relevant program, followed up by crapping the bed and going back to the cellar for several years. After the Alamo Bowl win in 2023, finishing with several ranked wins and in the top 15, the Wildcats were pegged to win the new Big 12 and make the 12 team playoff and fan excitement was at an all time high. They went 4-8 instead after Jedd Fisch left in the dead of night and an in-over-his-head (very nice) coach from San Jose State came in and set them back years just like Sumlin did after Rich Rod was let go. Arizona wants to have great football so badly and they feel close at times but can never sustain the success.
