Re: How to End NIL?

I also feel there are too many changes coming too fast with NIL. For instance, NIL is very new. But now schools like Dartmouth are making players "employees". Why push the unionization/employee issue so quickly? As it was said above, schools could very likely drop sports to not deal with ...

Re: How to End NIL?

Interesting scenario. At one point, I think some of the highest paid individual athletes in terms of NIL were actually female. Gymnasts I think. But I suspect most of this money came from outside collectives. Up here in the Northeast, the Dartmouth men's basketball team just voted to join a local un...

Re: 2024 Mountain West Football Schedules

I like how this sets up. Air Force early but should be a great home atmosphere at time of year, and you get a bye week after and then a winnable stretch of games in the middle. Last 3 are tough but you get another bye week before those too.

Re: Boyzee

We have now lost 6 Mountain West games by more than 15 points. That is the same number we had in Edwards' and Schroyer's final seasons. Shyatt had 1 in his final season and McClain had 3.

Re: Linder got tossed.

If Ike got 500k from Gonzaga, then I don't think Bohl had to contend with anything like that. The one physical stud we had on offense, Neyor, left for big money. Maybe we don't have to deal with it as much in football because most of our players are not going to make a major impact on a P5 team. If...

Re: Linder got tossed.

I’m surprised he isn’t tossed more. Sit behind the bench sometime and you will be left shaking your head. He spends every game berating officials from buzzer to buzzer. His demeanor is crap and not encouraging to players IMO. I get it that there are some times that call for getting after the offici...

Re: Craig Bohl's Legacy

This is a ridiculous comparison. DC’s last year was terrible and he left the program in shambles. Bohl had little to build on. After the first 2 years, we were never complete garbage. DC's last year was pretty damn close to several of Bohl's years. Now I know for sure that you're trolling. DC could...

Re: Attendance

Ironically I would use the same phrase "not good enough" to describe the team on the court. And I would like to hear Linder focus on that before pointing fingers at anyone else.

Re: Bertagnole is returning!!

Revisionist history. Allen was top 5 in many 2017 mock drafts before announcing he was coming back. The day of the 2017 draft is when Adam Schefter reported that a scout believed Allen would be the #1 pick in 2018. His stock was sky high at that time. Put it this way - he had a down year (with a sh...

Re: Bertagnole is returning!!

I'll repeat this anytime it comes up: Josh Allen turned down $20M-$30m GUARANTEED to come back to Wyoming. So yes the staff and situation matter. This is an apples to oranges comparison. For rookie contracts under the CBA in the NFL, draft slot determines the compensation for the next 4-5 years. Jo...

Re: Bertagnole is returning!!

This is an important aspect I think a few of us miss at times. Regardless of our own opinions and arguments on here, it seems like this team as a whole is sold on the staff, systems, and vision for the future. And that seems to include all of the previous recruits too, who stuck with Sawvell throug...

Re: Crum and Gibbs to NFL Combine

Best of luck to both. I expect to see Gibbs land on a roster. Hope the same for Crum as a Wyoming kid, but I can't imagine the number of 6th year seniors who land on NFL rosters is very high. Although maybe climbing.

Re: Is Josh Allen EVER going to make it to the Super Bowl???

At first I thought it was an audible by Hamlin but then I saw McDermott's press conference where he acknowledged it was something they put into the game plan and decided to try when they saw KC had only 10. I felt it was the turning point in the game as it gave confidence to KC that Buffalo did not...

I would love to know (or maybe I wouldn't) what our winning % is in basketball and football in the state of California over the last 20 years.

Re: Success due to coach or team?

Belichek was also the GM, and arguably his roster decisions after Brady were what brought the team down rather than his coaching decisions. Dude still took Mac Jones to the playoffs as a rookie, he is a damn good coach but too stubborn in his ways when it came to building a roster.
