I found it quite interesting, that the recruiting letters / cards that were sent out to recruits recently were pictures of the back of the Wyoming football uniform (player photo) WITH the last name of the recruit on back.

:shock:

Probably not...but don't you think it is f-word up to use that "recruiting tool" - when the staff, et al, are the "name on the front, not the name on the back" type of folks? poop work IMO.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Recruiting has been doing that for years!

I have to side with peachy. To me it's very hypocritical. It's not selling the true brand.

Well, yeah, it's recruiting. Only a few schools in the country can really "afford" to show exactly what they are about and still be enticing for recruits. For most schools, it's all smoke and mirrors to a certain extent, making them look as desirable as possible until the recruits sign their LOI. That's the game, and a school like UW, in a place like Laramie, most certainly plays it.

They should let the players chose what "names" they want on the back of their jerseys. For example I would expect to see "SMASHER", "KILLER", "HOT DOG", "BEAST", etc. as choices.
