Re: The Mtn.

Yeah Schroyer thought it was such a great fit that the family moved to Salt Lake a year ago, and he sold his house and he was baching in Laramie.

Re: Schroyer talks about Negativity [Gagliardi]

Titleist, which administrator was it that slap by wrist back in November or December for not liking Schroyer since he was hired? Maybe I should be applauded for the vision, not chastised.

Re: First ACS....

Montgomery going to Indiana is not because it is a step up. It's got nothing to do with realtionship with coaches. To act like it is a defection is ridiculous.

Re: Does Burman have all of his ducks in a row?

Here are some coaches to look at: 1. Gregg Marshall @Wichita St.- Has almost 250 wins between WSU and Winthrop. 2. Gary Waters @ Cleveland St.- 88-63 in 5 years(including 15-1 this year) He's gradually made this program better. 3. Brad Stevens@ Butler- I'm pretty sure that We can spend just as much...

Re: WYO vs CSU

You can blame coaching all you want. But the facts remain: Wyoming does not have 1 player that would start on csewe. We have no post up players and no one who is a legitimate post defender. We had to double team Ogide every time the ball went to him. In the meantime, not 1 Wyoming player requires a...

Re: AFAM

Afam is a talent who unfortunately has not received any structured coaching to bring his game to a higher level, and this year a panicked coach forced him back into action less than nine months after major knee surgery, which takes at least a full year to recover from. As a result the knee has been ...

Re: Western State game

But at least compare the scores and it shows a good game. CSU scored 1 more point on them than we did but allowed 22 more points So in using comparative scores, I guess UW is in trouble. Pokes only beat DU by 13 at home. CSU beat DU by 11 at DU. And you might add that CSU's game against Western Sta...
