Michigan to hire Hoke

Sounds like 3rd man's the charm, Michigan to hire Brady Hoke away from SDSU.

Re: QB Recruit Brett Smith

There are some star heavy recruits on Rivals that have Wyoming as a team they are interested in, but we haven't offered them. There's a 4 star running back, a 3 star O lineman and a 3 star D back. If we wait too long they could either accept somewhere else or take our lack of action as non interest...

BSU/Nevada

Nevada 34-31! That was one of the best games I've ever seen. I can't believe Boise blew that lead AND the 4th quarter gimme field goal. It sucks to see Boise losing a chance at the BCS but it makes me feel good that we will be adding two quality opponents (and from what i've seen better teams) to re...

TCU board blowing up on move to BE

The TCU message board is blowing up about what they are claiming is a "done deal" regarding an all-sport (not just football) move to the Big East. Been hearing it for a while now, but with the Hawaii news coming in, this makes sense. http://www.killerfrogs.com/msgboard/index.php?showtopic=...

Re: Time to vote with my feet and my checkbook...

LP, I'm not sure if donating to the CJC would work the same as donating to an athletic department where you can tag your money to be used for specific things and not others. If so, you could donate under the stipulation that your money go to one of the scholarships that support one of the non-revenu...

Re: About recruiting top athletes to Laramie vs elsewhere

You certainly can't give 100% blame on how attractive a town is to the quality of recruits the school gets. If this were the case Oklahoma would never win a game as (IMO) Norman makes Laramie look like an oasis. But OU still attracts tons of 4 and 5-star recruits...why? Because of program tradition,...

Re: I am so glad no one here is talking FCS

I took a peak yesterday. Essentially, they were all crying (before the Fresno/Nevada news came out) that if BYU left, the MWC would fall apart. They figured Boise and TCU would also jump ship and when that happened the MWC and WAC would essentially merge leaving a few teams on each side (CSU, Wyo, e...

Re: Dave Christenson on Scott Van Pelt Show today!

Good interview...they talked about quite a few topics: last season, the bowl game, this year's tough schedule, the help in recruiting that the team gets from the helmet and Wyo talk on the show, and of course about Dax Crum and ACS. Overall it was nice to see some Wyo talk in the same hour as they t...

Re: Wyoming Week 7/27/10 - 8/2/10

I noticed that they are showing one of the women's basketball games ('09 vs. BYU) as well as a women's volleyball game. Kind of disappointing that they aren't showing any of the women's NIT run from a few years ago. The semi-final and championship games were pretty good games, even for those that ar...

Under Glenn the south practice field usually had the OL, DL, LB, and DBs on the field for half the practice. Not sure if things have changed under DC, but I would imagine it gets used daily by the team.

Re: Our first 8 games-Predictions?

YOu have a better chance of beating Ybu than you do Utah. The Zoo is breaking in a new QB, RB, TE, WR, and half of their O Line. If you can beat their D, you'll get the win. I agree that Utah will be the stronger team next year. However, given our history of playing in provo and playing in Laramie,...

Re: Our first 8 games-Predictions?

Just my 2 cents: Southern Utah - W - Good game to shake the rust off. @ Texas - L - Hopefully the Texas hospitality will carry over to the field. Boise State - L - A hard-fought battle that will be closer than many would think. Air Force - W - A toss-up, if we aren't too beat up after UT and BSU we ...

Re: Well, it looks like Utah is gone...only one thing left t

While to some this may seem an obvious move for Utah, if I were sitting in the President and AD's shoes, I would have a tougher decision than most people think. On one hand, Utah could join an atomatic BCS conference which the promise of more money, television exposure and national recognition. The ...

Re: my take on expansion

Does anyone have a good reason why in the world the Big Ten would expand beyond one more team? I am very curious as to what advantage more teams would bring. By adding one more team, they would have 12 teams which would give them a conference championship and thus more $$$. However, any extra teams ...

The future BCS will be ACC, SEC, Big Ten (16), Big 12, PAC-10 and the Mountain West. I agree that the Pac-10 will not expand. As per the conferences rules, all 10 schools have to agree to any addition...not sure that'll happen unless its CU, Texas or Texas A&M; none of those will join. While I ...
