Re: Uniform Updates

Traditional is out. Back to the DC era of uniforms. Looking forward to seeing new combos as they come out. I hope it doesn't go to the extremes that DC's era did, but I'd be happy to see some updates. Just don't change the helmet! I’m thinking we might see a first game ‘surprise’ to the players whe...

Re: Sawvel to open up practice

The days of tyrant coach have been numbered for sometime, even Bohl became more open and willing to listen to the players and their opinions/concerns over time. Sawvel's success or failure as head coach will depend on how well the team performs, not whether he is nice guy or a jerk. I suspect that ...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

It’s a sliding scale. Maybe Svoboda could have got an extra $25-50K to go somewhere else this year but with no guarantees to start or play. By naming him the starter, he has a chance to shine and pull in real big $$s next year if he is successful. He didn't get offered money. My guess is PBJ coach ...

Re: Cowgirls in WNIT

The WNIT is no longer the second best tourney, correct? Correct. The NCAA bought the Men’s NIT but didn’t buy the Women’s NIT. This year, the NCAA started the 32 team WBIT which is now the 2nd best women’s tournament. Some of the marketing that I see coming from the University is comparing this yea...

Re: MW is flaming out……

They have 1 team already in the Elite 8 and are favored for a 2nd. If the SEC is trash, what does that make the MWC? Tennessee is a solid, legit elite team. I think they were totally snubbed for a #1 seed. They are a complete team. Barnes is a solid coach, and IMO Knecht should win Player of the Ye...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

We're not at risk because he was named starter. The competition this spring is for backup. So the answer to NIL is name the guys starters in Dec? It’s a sliding scale. Maybe Svoboda could have got an extra $25-50K to go somewhere else this year but with no guarantees to start or play. By naming him...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

He will be here this fall. The portal period ends April 30 and there are no non-graduating transfers after that point. If he’s not here the following year, that likely means we had a pretty good year so I’m fine with that. So like I said we're not at risk and have not been at risk for a money offer...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

I disagree. There’s absolutely a risk. The football community has seen the NFL throw ability. There are not a ton of guys in college football who could have made that throw against UNLV. If a p5 comes in with big money, he's gone regardless. If he's still on the roster this fall it's because the of...

We have a better record than Minnesota! But they will be a real challenge as they play in a real good conference.

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

Hopefully being named the presumptive starter will keep him in Laramie for at least this season. Not being a jerk but there is not a risk of someone coming in to pay him. He played 1 game with 136 yds and 1 int. Yes it was TX, but there isn't enough body of work to demand a payday in the portal. Th...

That’s actually my worry too. Talking with him, he almost seems too nice and down to Earth.

Re: MW is flaming out……

Izzo is calling for non P5 teams to not be allowed auto-bids for winning their conference. I guess the SEC commish is calling for the same. The SEC is a trash men's bball conference. They had 8 teams selected for March Madness, and by the end of the second day, 6 of them were eliminated. LOL. :rofl...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

I think most of us were all in on JA in 16’ just from what we saw in his short time before the injury in 15. I went back recently to see what we were saying about JA in 15 before he played. I know I remember being blown away by the plays he made in Juco and most people were really high on him. Real...

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

This seems similar to 2016 to me. Back then - there were folks really high on the recruit Chandler Garrett. Some even wondering if Nick Smith should be given a shot. Clearly neither of those guys were in the same dimension as Josh Allen in terms of physical abilities. I think most of us were all in...

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. One could easily argue that a lot of the issues we’re having is b...

Why?

I have to think that if Sawvel believed this after a year of having May in the program then he wouldn’t have named a starter in December.

Re: How do you feel about the QB position

Seems Svoboda is being crowned as the starter. For me, I'd like there to be a wide open competition. Seems we have some other QBs in the program that are no slouches, namely Carson May and Anderson!
