For me - every year that Wyoming basketball loses as many or more MWC games than wins is a disappointment . I don't care if the game ends up 59-57 with Wyoming losing or 119-114 with the same result. If it were not for the automatic NCAA bid with a conference tournament win, Shyatt would have not sn...

If recruiting is not the major issue the coaching ability lack thereof speaks volumes. Since part of coaching is recruiting, then the bottom line is it is all about coaching. When the current and prior head coach accumulate 69 losses and 62 wins in the MWC to date, that says they are simply not able...

Unfortunately the Edwards show has been a continuation of the weak recruiting of Larry Shyatt. After this season ends, the Shyatt show has three remaining recruits left on the roster in James, Naughton and Moemeka. Of those three, the only player to really produce has been James. No criticism of any...

The empty seats will continue. Edwards was the hand picked extension of Larry Shyatt on the condition that little Jeremy got to keep his job. A sniff at success here and there followed by disappointments is on the horizon for at least another year. Depending on how well any of the returning roster d...

This team will win a random game here and there mostly at home and may win another surprise game they are not expected to win. This is only a continuation of the cannot win in the MWC Shyatt show. The team is loaded with the players Shyatt last recruited. Shyatt's hand picked head coach (who agreed ...

Edwards and at least Jeremy Shyatt were hand picked selections by Larry Shyatt that Burman agreed to. This team (other than Louis Adams) were all Larry Shyatt recruits (thanks for the recruiting help Jeremy and I hope you thanked your daddy for getting you the job). They were all recruited when we h...

As much as I would like to see anything CSU fail, this is what makes me upset: Eustachy in his 5th year at CSU has compiled a 105-57 (.648) overall and 49-35 (.583) MWC record. Shyatt managed in his last 5 year stint at UW a 98-69 (.587) overall and 37-47 (.440) MWC record. Both managed an NCAA appe...

All I can say about Edwards is that he was the hand picked selection of Shyatt who also made sure his little boy Jeremy got to stay on. What does it say about the guidance of the AD when you go with the same gig that produced 4 non-winning MWC records out of 5 years instead of going out and getting ...

How many more wins do we have under Papa Shy?? just curious what people think 0, maybe 1. Shyatt wasnt some "Player Whisperer" or some coaching guru. I don't think the difference would be that extreme. Have we forgotten last season? When we had arguably one of the best players to ever pla...

That is the other part of the equation. Is it the Edwards coaching style? How easy it is to forget that even with mighty Josh Adams the slow Shyatt pace produced a 7-11 MWC total last year. Even with the trio of Adams, Nance and Cooke the best MWC outcome was 11-7. It would have been better had Nanc...

The situation is directly related to marginal recruiting by Larry Shyatt. Weak point guard and a weak interior. Had it not been for fantastic gets in Nance, Cooke and Adams the UW basketball program would have floundered in a San Jose/Air Force mode. Until help arrives the program will continue to f...

Yelling or having a calm mature style seems not to really have much of a positive impact either way. This team is largely a product of the Shyatt recruiting philosophy where there are numerous weak areas exploited in conference play. After 5 years of Shyatt the basketball god that saved Wyoming from...

The biggest problem with this program going to the next level is the interior play is weak overall. It does not help matters any when the team lacks a solid PG. Interior play: Dalton - Has emerged as the greatest interior strength. Herndon - Playing his best ball for UW yet. Has trouble with tougher...

We will find out Sunday for sure, but if we do not go to Vegas it would be nice to land a spot in the Cactus bowl in Phoenix. Let the home teams play at home if Vegas desires BSU. Send CSU to Boise and AFA to Tucson.

Made the air and car rental reservations. It might be cold and on ESPN, but this is an opportunity to make MWC history for the first time in football. I want to be there in person!

The MWC currently has 5 bowl eligible teams. Five teams have a chance at .500 or better with only four having a chance since three of the teams play each other. CSU is at 5 wins but plays 3 tougher games: @ AFA, UNM, @SDSU. CSU could easily finish 5-7. Hawaii at 4-6 has 3 games: BSU, @FSU, UMASS. In...

A solid OOC schedule helps the initial RPI, but winning in conference games is critical. One winning MWC season in the past 13 years is not exactly program reputation building. Go 8-5 playing a really tough OOC and then winning 12 conference games is a much more enjoyable way to get to 20 wins than ...

In 2 years as a head coach at Montana, Wyoming did not go wrong getting Jim Brandenburg. So here is this coach who has been at Montana for 2 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_DeCuire And then there is this success story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Rahe Just saying - there are way ...

Consider stories like this: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14968778/matt-brady-fired-james-madison-dukes-coach Not saying anything at all is taking place on that level within the AD. But...attendance is poor, accomplishments are similar and eventually the home crowd gets restl...

With the 5 hoops players (6 with Washington) dealing with problems in the program, the situation is applicable to all sports and is found written into every athletic programs policies. Regardless of any of the varying opinions of the fans, it is an agreement/condition of participating in athletics. ...
