Re: Love Bohl, but...

THE question is ... Why are we not close, right now, in year five with a man at the helm that nobody would describe as lacking football coaching accumen to competing at a higher level? I happen to think that it is worth examining why he could do it at NDSU and not at Wyo. At this point it is not ab...

Re: Culture vs Coaching

The fact is, we lost to two pretty good Power 5 teams. No they aren't at the very top of FBS, but they are solid programs. I'm honestly not worried. They are probably the two best teams we face all season. At very worst, two of the top three best. These games have little bearing on if we will beat ...

Re: Culture vs Coaching

Look at the list of Coaches that have come to Wyoming in the modern era. Surely they were not all terrible and yet they all ended their careers here ignominiously. At what point do we start to point to something systemic that is beyond the coaches control. Maybe five years from now I'll look back a...

Re: The BYU Hatred

Maybe you all can help me. I’m reading about “The Project” and have some thoughts.

Re: The BYU Hatred

If you read the accountbin the SLC paper about the project, there is no doubt a coup was being planned, with BYU and Thompson leading the charge. The delay in BYU and ESPN negotiations is probably what ultimately was the demise. For anyone to believe that BYU has any good intentions after the years...

This is not a poop post, I am looking for honest, level headed commentary here. If the first thought here is f*ck Burman, or f*ck BYU, please go somewhere else.

Re: Milo Hall transferring

Good news! Glad he is in Greeley. I don't think he will start at running back, as we have a senior stud running the rock this year. However, he is often injured and our depth isn't great. He will transfer in as a junior, correct? I don't believe that he would be available to play this year. I was u...

I believe he is in the 2020 class, so still a long ways to go in his recruitment.

Re: Transfers

It's funny, all year around here, it was Kelley who everyone thought would be playing D2. I'm guessing part of it for Andrew was he wanted to be closer to home, but it's not like there's a lack of D1 schools in Florida either. But of course, as with everything around here, looks like it's Edwards' ...

Re: Say it ain’t so....

I don't care about BYU or its fans beliefs or religion. I only care about their actions and their actions have shown them to be dishonest, backstabbing, cheating, lying, condescending pricks...and that's when they are being nice. Screw BYU.

There's your problem right there. I don't speak to BYU fans, makes for a happier life.

Prep school kids are the same as HS kids but with one extra year of experience and maturing under their belt. Whats not to like?

For those of you getting excited about all these prep school players: please tell me about any of them in Wyoming history that have made any real impact? Don't include any of the 23-25 year olds that Schroyer brought in to burn the program to ashes. How many prep school kids have we even had? Schro...

Re: Recruiting

Who goes to prep school? More pointedly, who goes to one of these basketball factory prep schools like Mt. Zion? Typically, they got no d1 scholarship offers or their grades were too poor to get into a jc. Going down this road is disaster. You don't see ANY successful programs go this route for pla...
