Re: OT: WWE Coming to the AA
Sure it's fake...its entertainment! It's also great entertainment. That having been said, I think it's a great use of the AA. Let's get as much use out of this facility as possible. Sporting events, concerts, entertainment etc., it all means exposure and money for Laramie the university and state.

Re: To everyone in Wyoming who flies a Nebraska Flag:
I am a native Wyoming man now living in Nebraska. I will be watching the game Sat. at my favorite watering hole proudly wearing my WY gear. After the "Go Big Red" chant quiets down I will stand and let them hear "W-Y-O!" I will say that the Nebraska fans won't mug me, most will l...

Re: Wyoming "more open than ever" to beer sales
If our FB team is anywhere near as bad as it was last season, beer in The War is a must! There is no possible way anyone can watch that without something to dull the pain and senses.

Re: We've got a Mountain to climb!
Postby LanderPoke » Fri Mar 18, 2016 3:25 pm Shyatt is getting worked in recruiting. He's a fantastic coach, man and developer of talent, but not sure he can recruit. Would have to say the same about Branch (wrestling). At some point the question again comes up, "Why aren't coaches that are gre...

Re: Cowboy wrestling at the NCAAs
This is incredibly huge. I know most of you are basketball guys and are worried about your pot smokers but once again it's the wrestling team bearing the positive flag for WYO. Don't just support a sport, support the brand. The last two NCAA tournaments have been somewhat disappointing but that chan...

Re: Cowboy wrestling at the NCAAs
Just looked at team scores and Pokes currently 16th. Real possibility of moving up 2-3 places but don't think we can make the top-10.

Re: Regardless of the sport - NCAA substance bans info
Agree with stymeman. These guys knowingly broke the law and team rules. Now they must man up and face the music. If you break the law/contract etc. there are consequences. If you don't like a certain law that's fine, but get it changed before breaking it. We would have mass chaos if everybody just h...

Re: Cowboy wrestling competes in Big 12 tournament
Will be interesting to see what happens. Pokes have been wrestling pretty tough in the latter part of the season after a real slow start. I must agree with LPs assessment of South Dakota State. What in the hell got into them?! It does give me hope for the Poke FB team though. Miracles do happen!

Re: Cowboy Wrestling 2015-16
Good showing at TOC after a couple of bad dual losses. I am looking for a competitive year but not a real strong one. Seems like that has been the story for the last few years. It would be great to see the Pokes take that next step up.

Re: Bryce Meredith - Transfers to Wyoming
I am seeing several things on here. Does WY or Branch get top-level talent? The answer is, in most cases, "no". However this speaks volumes about his coaching abilities. His record in duals, number of AAs, conference titles, etc. is extremely impressive when you consider he is doing it wit...

Re: Fire Burman
On topic: all I can say is if it wasn't for striking gold so to speak with Shyatt thus far, Burman would have been ousted already. Can't think of a single major coaching hire that hasn't been a train-wreck. (obviously jury still out on Bohl) Not getting int the "fire" or "don't fire&q...

I know two elderly gentleman (OK, ones my Dad, the other an uncle) that have attended most home games since the end of the Eaton era. That's a lot of football. I have seen them mad, ecstatic, disappointed, euphoric, hopeful etc. about Cowboy FB. However for the first time in my life I have seen a ne...

Re: It just got pretty lonely on the bandwagon
Not ready to give up on Bohl yet but have just about given up on WY football. They will always be my team, and I will always root for them, but if we EVER get a .500 season again after this total embarrassment, I will be happy.

Re: Deti Stadium
@LanderPoke There is going to be a night honoring former players, cheerleaders etc. but not sure when that is. I know I have some former teammates that are going to go. I think on that Facebook page, if you scroll down, it talks about it.

Deti Stadium
Like Okie Blanchard Stadium before it, Deti Stadium in Laramie is about to enter it's final season. I know many of the younger people on here never experienced LHS football in its "prime" but like all dominant programs, it was really something (and lasted a very long time). As a former Pla...

I just learned Joe Ramunno, one of the great offensive lineman to play for the Pokes, will be inducted into the HOF. Besides being a great player, Joe is one of the best persons anyone will ever meet. After his playing days ended, Joe has gone on to a very successful coaching career. Congratulations...

However this is a great thing for the athletic dept. in general and wrestling in particular. It happened under his watch so...

Re: 2014-2015 Poke Wrestling
Let's go Woody! Would certainly be nice to get another AA for the Pokes. It would soften the hurt of a very disappointing tournament. I guess one nice thing is that WY wrestling fans now expect top 20 finishes when before Branch that wasn't the case. While many things (all?) have improved, this prog...
