Re: A first time head coach who has never run his own show?

Blade, if we hire and fire coaches on a yearly basis if we don't see INSTANT results, no one will want to coach here. No one with any experience will sign a 1 year contract and constant firing will mean we will be buying out multiple coaching contracts per year. We'll go bankrupt and be forced to h...

Re: A first time head coach who has never run his own show?

I grew up a die hard Colorado fan, and have been following the program probably a lot more than you do. CU was not left clean by Hawkins, it was in terrible shape. They had very little talent to the caliber of the PAC 12, they had terrible academic scores, and a ton of off the field issues. Embree ...

Re: A first time head coach who has never run his own show?

I think you fail to realize how bad of a coach Dan Hawkins is. How bad was he when Boise st. had 3 straight 1 loss seasons? That's utterly silly. And don't tell me it was all Peterson. Hawkins was the head guy and was responsible for a lot of their success. He may not have worked out at CU but he l...

Re: A first time head coach who has never run his own show?

Idaho was Division 1AA (FCS) until 1995. Gilmore looks too much like Jon Embree to me and my feeling is that he wouldn't be a diamond in the rough..just a big lump o'coal..but just my 2 cents. Again, Embree was setting the ground work for CU to be successful. He had to come in and clean house, as w...

Re: Wearing Me Very Thin...

Here's what really galls me: csewe is actually spending money. Their coaches make more than ours and they will probably have a new stadium in a few years. Now we are the cheap ones. And it's showing on the playing fields. Why spend 20 million or whatever on that Wilcatter addition and then spend pea...

A note to the board monitor whoever you are: You obviously don't care about the level of discussion on this board. You allow one silly kid to dominate this board with posts that add about as much insight as stating the sky is blue. This board is a bigger joke than Wyo. football right now. That's sa...

I didn't know you set the criteria for bowl games. News flash: It's not what you think that gets teams to bowl games, it's winning 6 games. Like it or not, that is how it works. News flash PT II: I could not care less what you think - or what the criteria is. It would be an outright embarrassing si...

Re: Wyoming @ Ohio State

Well of course that's true, but it sure makes for a boring preseason prognostication. If we can't discuss the relative standing of teams in the conference until the season is over than what fun is the message board? Plus, since we usually end up near the bottom in both revenue sports, these exercis...

Today, Garrett Zans ran in the NCAA cross country nationals. It was his last race as a Wyoming Cowboy. He finished 65th out of over 250 of the best runners in the country. When he looks back on his career, what do you think he will remember? Competing in a national championship or winning some littl...

Re: For those doing cartwheels tonight...

You guys are right and Doc is wrong. This was a great win over a real good team. Hell the D came out to play and the fans showed up, it was awesome. Things are looking up in Laramie. I'm not saying it was a great game. It was horrid on D! But it was a fun and entertaining game to watch. And a lot o...

Good grief Dino, no one doing cartwheels. We all realize we're not world beaters, but we did win a game a lot of you naysayers were predicting we would lose. Nothing wrong with feeling good about that. I liked it better when you just didn't show up after victories. :roll: We were actually a 5 1/2 p...

If Hawaii can score 56 points then surely Utah State can, huh? But maybe not. Look at Arizona-Oregon game going on now. Maybe Pokes can win. Maybe you can win the lottery.

Re: The Cowboy Way!

Doc I don't disagree with your dismay. However, to me this is a rivalry game and a win feels good! Huh? They have never been a rivalry game. Back in the old wac, it was a tough place to win at, but your average Wyo. fan couldn't name one player or one coach they've ever had. I'm glad we won. But le...

Re: Mediocrity

There are over 300 division 1 BB schools and only about 125 D1 football schools. Basketball has some unique factors that allow a school to be competitive at least briefly. Can a school be competitive in football with a fan and student base as small as ours? It's become apparent that our talent level...
