Re: 24-25 Roster

Please point to multiple years of "roster meltdowns". Last season was one, and it was bad. Other than last year roster turnover has been nothing out of the ordinary. Last year. This year. And likely next year. At this point, I’m a bit concerned that we won’t have five warm bodies to put o...

Re: BB transfer portal is open

Do you really believe this exodus at Wyoming is NIL driven? A guy that didn’t even play. I highly doubt there are big dollars being thrown his way. We have to be honest with ourselves with this trend under the current coaching staff. No, I don't believe these 4 (Wenzel, Powell, CanadianHair, Sirtau...

Re: MW is flaming out……

Irrespective of how our conference mates perform, watching the opening round is depressing. It feels like we are light years away from even being competitive against the 16 seeds with no hope for the future.

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...

Seems that 2 seasons is the limit for most players under Linder.
Addition by subtraction. Whatever will we do without his 4 points, 5 cheap fouls, 1 rebound and 8 turnovers? Whoever is supposed to develop our bigs is hot garbage.

Re: How to End NIL?

The NIL genie is out of the bottle. In some form, paying athletes is now part of the bargain. My guess is that the demand for more money accelerates, with calls for media rights sharing, etc. With Title IX, there will be legal requirements to elevate women's equity in the pay scheme, which will onl...

Re: Trending in the Wrong Direction

You are seeing a growing number of head football coaches in mid-tier FBS schools leave for assistant jobs in the higher end of the P5 (or whatever you want to call the BIG and SEC these days). You are even seeing coaches like Chip Kelly - at UCLA - who saw the writing on the wall and left to coach t...

Re: Trending in the Wrong Direction

My dad indicated that Linder did not appear for any post-game comments with Keith and Kevin. Was that due to MWC conference tourney obligations? Or was he consoling his team? Or was he just pouting and avoiding having to face any music for his spiraling program?

Trending in the Wrong Direction

I will give Sawvel a chance - I actually think that he can win and do well. The fact that he was able to hold current players on the roster and recruit solid freshmen appears to show he is a players coach. Linder is a lost cause to me. Absent a huge leap next year, with a clear showing that his inco...

To follow a buttstain 2022-2023 campaign and craptastic 2023-2024 season. I never thought that I would see a coach do more damage than Edwards, but I fear we may be there. Napoleon has met his Waterloo years.

This is one of the worst losses I can remember. Man this season SUCKED and was no fun I'll take this season over last season any day I don't want either to happen again anytime soon.

It's located in the state of California
Given our road woes the last several years, this could be revised to say "it's not located in Laramie, Wyoming."
