Re: TCU Leapfrogs Boise State

Mark May on College Football Final Saturday night pointed to Utah as the most likely place for TCU to stumble, but he also mentioned Wyoming, and said we are a much improved team over last year and basically TCU better not sleep walk into Laramie. As for TCU and the BCS, I hope they are undefeated w...

Re: I'd say the fake FG was illegal

Actually any fake field goal in college or high school where the holder has his knee down for the hold and accepts the snap is illegal. Essentially his knee is down and he has possession of the ball. This is where a special rule comes in allowing placement kicks for FG' and PAT's after the days of ...

Re: New Mexico equals Colorado

That Colorado loss was, imo, one of the worst possible losses this program could possibly face. Getting shutout against a team that looked completely lost in its first couple games. It pretty much saved Hawkins job, and killed our recruiting battle against CU for Colorado players. It hurt very bad....

Re: Official Beer of WyoNation

Actually, I think the offical beer should be something a bit more "blue collar." Schmidt or Pabst. We're Americans; we drink beer from a can! Who says drinking good quality beer isn't American???? I am a proud Wyoming Native, and enjoy my beer, but prefer a quality microbrew over a mass p...

Re: stadium pics

I've heard cleaned up, but since it won't be complete until 2010 its still going to have a construction site feel IMO. It will be a nice addition once its complete. Just too bad this is the season that construction is happening. We are losing probably over 1000K seats in revenue for the Texas game, ...

Re: Pokes Get Another Commitment

I would also like to point out that Qb's tend to be the best athletes on a team. It is possible that we could be recruiting athletes that DC thinks will fit nicely in his system either at QB, WR, RB, or even on the defensive side of the ball.

Re: Phil Dubois!!

Technically that's because the logo is the State of Wyoming's logo, and the athletics department has an agreement with the state to use it. But indeed in either event us ...

Re: UW Budget Cuts from WTE (not sure if this post belongs here)

Wyoming also has a constitution that makes it illegal to ever go into debt. 6 months ago we had a projected surplus of 1 billion dollars, a few months ago that was revised to less that 200 million based on natural gas prices being at their lowest point since the 1980s. That's why the govenor has put...

Re: Crum and Hillen.

I still claim that Crum has the most ability out of any QB on our roster.. He just needed to settle down when in the game an stop the stupid mistakes. If we could combine Sweens mental game with Crums arm, we'd have winner! If you mean Crum's touch I may agree, however Sween has a gun, and can fire...

Re: Weber Faithful Penciling Win..

While I completely agree that on paper Texas out talents us, and we out talent Weber State, comparing the outcomes of the two games in the same manner isn't an equal comparision. First of all Wyoming is at home for both games, second we have a new offense that should use the altitude to our advantag...

Re: Devin Moore Undrafted

While I realize getting drafted in the 7th round would have been a little better for D-Mo in the short term when it comes to money, specifically probably a small signing bonus; in the long run being able to sign as an unrestricted free agent over being a late 7th round pick could work to his advanta...

Re: Crum and Hillen.

Not that it was really a question going into the scrimmage anyway, but that pretty much solidifies Crum as the #3 quarterback come fall at best.

Re: Thoughts After Saturday

Personally, I say the job should be open until the final fall scrimmage or unless of of the QB's completely runs away with the competition before then. I have no problem with Sween being the QB if he wins the job. Whoever is the best QB in the new offense should get the nod. If Benjamin or ACS comes...

Re: .mtn TV schedule released for 09 Football

Right or wrong, I have a feeling Christensen is going to sink or swim with Carta-Samuels at the helm. That statement makes no sense. If a coach is really doing his job he will honestly evaluate a QB and put the guy on the field who has the best chance to succeed. To suggest that DC is going to arbi...
