Re: BB transfer portal is open

I would just like to say that I am also making myself eligible for the NBA draft.

Re: What could have been

Saw where a kid (grew up in Iowa) went to Alabama, was offered $100k to transfer to Iowa, took the money and transferred back to Bama. This whole thing is out of control Beating a dead horse here, but these NIL collectives and the people donating to them are enabling this insanity. I'd love to see ...

Re: BB transfer portal is open

The problem with NIL as it currently exists is that it has created a professional sporting league where athletes are paid by unaffiliated third parties rather than the schools (ie the employers) themselves. This gives all of the negotiating power to the athletes and none to the schools/coaching sta...

Re: MW is flaming out……

Nevada blew a 9 point half time lead. The sheep were up 8-2 and then got outscored 25-3. The sheep got a 3 pointer by headband Joe and that was their only score in the last 15 minutes. Sorry, but I'm laughing right now.

Re: 24-25 Roster

It’d be hard to argue against something else going on. Either Linder isn’t afraid to tell players to get the hell out or no one wants to play for him in today’s environment. Some of it is winning too. No incentive to hang around and play on poop team and an asshole coach when you can play for a. po...

Re: 24-25 Roster

This sounds like complete horse crap. The best athlete on the team? And he couldn't see the court over Kojenets - a guy who looks like he has trouble getting food to his mouth. If that's true, then Linder should be fired right now for gross incompetence. Read the article. Or even the post you are r...

Interesting snippet from Cody Tucker's article on Theodosiou transferring: https://7220sports.com/wyoming-basketball-loses-freshman-guard-to-ncaa-transfer-portal/ I assumed that he didn't see the court last season because he was too green and needed a year to redshirt. I remember him from watching ...

Re: Sheep still suck

The players and coaches are fine. It's their pompous insufferable fans that I can't stand. I hate it when they're happy. As long we keep kicking their butts in football, I'll be satisfied.

Re: NIL

I'm guessing most of you are aware of One Wyo. https://1wyo.org/ The director was interviewed on Ryan Thorburg's Pokescast just a few days ago. Athletes must donate time to charity to receive the NIL funds. Seems reasonable to me. If we want to be competitive, then NIL is going to be a big part of o...

I hate to say it, but csewe was very impressive last night. It wouldn't surprise me if they won the tournament. I would agree the MW gets 6 teams in.

Re: Trending in the Wrong Direction

The generally accepted recommendation is that you should save a minimum of 10x your annual salary if you want to retire at age 67 and live a similar lifestyle in retirement. If you want to travel and have some fun in retirement, you will need much more than that. This also assumes you have a home t...

Re: Trending in the Wrong Direction

Because last year was such a trainwreck, I think I felt somewhat relieved that this year's team wasn't as bad. But in reality, it was still a pretty awful result. Another losing season and not really competitive with the better teams in the conference. As others have posted, we will basically start ...

Re: Fresno - twice in a row

You're afraid of a team that didn't win 10 games this year and we just beat by 40 on their own court on senior night? Ok. If we show up and don't play terrible, we will beat them easily again. This is a horrible team that couldn't bother to show up on their own court. Even if they are motivated, wh...

Re: 24-25 Roster

4 years of Linder and 1 MW tournament win. That's Heath Schroyer territory. I can't defend him anymore. I think Powell could have been a productive player. He actually regressed this year. Maybe Linder needs future NBA players for his system to work. Whatever. I don't know and I don't care. This pr...

Re: Fresno St @ MWC tourney

Who exactly on this team would it hurt to lose to the portal? They stink. Manyawu. Just turned 18 and loads of potential. But he gone. Horsecrap. He can't shoot and he can't handle the ball. He's athletic and he can rebound. He had 3 points today. A total non factor. If he gets a big offer, let him...

Re: Fresno - twice in a row

I was wrong - Fresno is much worse than their terrible NET. Glad we poured it onto them! I’d have to think Fresno should come out really motivated Wednesday after their embarrassing loss at home (worst ever for Fresno in conference). This is my fear. You're afraid of a team that didn't win 10 games...
