Re: Liberals just don’t understand economics…..

Triggered much? Seems like the libs are living rent free in your head. Here's a little tidbit for your edification: A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% I'd say things have been trending i...

Re: Liberals just don’t understand economics…..

I'm no fan of Biden or his fiscal irresponsibility, but to think the GOP has been any better is laughable. Both parties spend like drunken sailors at the expense of the American taxpayer.

Re: NIL

Rumor with Oregon football is total NIL for recent recruiting class was $15 million. No way kids from across the country going to Eugene unless their pockets are getting lined. Scary amounts of cash being tossed around in the NIL world. At least pro sports like the NFL and NBA have a salary cap to ...

Re: Why do obama and biden...

The president should never be over 70. Ever. If you are too old to be a f-word Walmart greeter, you are too old to be president. Both Biden and Trump should be in an assisted living facility, picking imaginary lint balls off their robes.

Re: Toledo game thread

Ten years of Bohl's poop is finally coming to an end. The punt on 4th and 1, and his lack of urgency to end the half is about all I want to see from that fossil. Turn the second half over to the new coach and let him call the rest of the game. Bohl can't get out of here quick enough for me.

Re: Aaron Bohl the new DC

We've seen this movie before, when Larry Shyatt left the SECOND time. Promoted Edwards, kept baby Shyatt, and we all know how well that turned out. If this turns into a similar train wreck, Burman needs to be the first one fired. Like Ragtime, I'll bookmark this and see what happens over the next tw...

"It's never easy to follow a legend, but that is what Sawvell is going to be tasked with after Bohl's success in Laramie. Sawvell has been on Bohl's staff as defensive coordinator and safeties coach since 2020. His previous stops include Wake Forest, Minnesota and several other FBS schools. How...

Re: Jay Sawvel named head coach

Perhaps Burman knows that after the PAC2 get done raiding the MWC, Wyoming will be left in the Big Sky or something similar, and it won't much matter who is head coach. Wyoming's problems are much more than a middling head coach and .500 ball over the past ten years. Unfortunately, the AD, Universit...

Not sure I would call this a "continuity hire." More like Allen Edwards - football edition. We are stuck in Burman purgatory on coaching hires.

Re: Fire Bohl

For what it's worth, Texas A&M just fired Jimbo Fisher. His buyout - $76,000,000. He was currently 6-4, and has an overall record of 45-25 at A&M. First off, that kind of money for a coach is obscene. Giving him a guarantee of $95 million in 2021 on a ten year deal was pretty freaking stupid...

I'll predict 1-3 with a road win in the State of Nevada. Wyoming will finish in typical Bohl fashion, 6-6 with a trip to the f-word Bowl that has no TV coverage in a stadium that seats 5,000 people. But hey, at least we are bowling...

Coming into this game, Boise St. was 113th in Total Defense. They were 40th in Rushing Defense, and 126th on defending the pass. One would think Svoboda would have had a field day with two weeks to prepare, but old Bohly just has to prove he knows more than all of us little league coaches. The Pokes...

Re: Boise St game thread

Wyoming has 85 yards passing, and a net rushing total of 15 yards (31 yards before you back out the 16 yards Peasley has lost). That's it - 100 yards of total offense after two weeks of preparation. This team won't finish 7-5. CSU will boat race them, as will UNLV. It will be a coin toss as to wheth...

Re: Boise St game thread

This team mirrors the head coach. I'm not sure they win another game and finish 5-7 or at best 6-6. If they finish 5-7, Bohl will have a "winning" percentage of .475 over his ten years as a head coach at Wyoming. I don't know how a coaching staff can have two weeks to prepare and then come...

That broken record still finished 7-5 somehow.
Exceeding my expectations certainly. I had us pegged at 3 - 4 wins in 2022.
Agreed, I had them at 3 wins, so I'm happy to eat some crow. Hope they win their bowl game for the kids' sake.
