Re: UW Block Grant Budget Amendment

How many students is that? 5? 10? Not being a jerk but from a practical standpoint, I doubt lack of women's studies impacts UW that much. Most likely those that are interested in Women's Studies AND UW will just pick another major. I might be wrong but I seriously doubt UW was pulling a lot of stud...

Re: Playoff negotiations

NFL ownership has to be laughing all the way to the bank. Major college programs are falling all over themselves to spend on a developmental league for the NFL and the owners are having to foot any of the bills.

Re: UW Block Grant Budget Anendment

From a distance, it looks as though the Wyoming legislature is poised to do away with the notion of a block grant for the university. This would mean that, in future budget cycles, the university would have to present its budget like any other agency, and be subject to line item approvals by the le...

Re: Giles moving on

Cody is reporting that we've hired Jeff Phelps to replace Oscar. Jeff was at NDSU, Mississippi State and Wazzu (with Mike Leach) and Minnesota previously. Hope he's a great hire. Phelps was on the same staffs as Sawvel at Minnesota and Northern Illinois. Feels like he may have been brought on to ha...

Re: Late signing day

Anyone else find it odd we are signing a running back out of North Carolina with 1 year of eligibility remaining? What kind of a sign does this send to Waylee? Note - he played DB for North Carolina last year but was formerly their RB and is signed as an RB. It's odd. Maybe this says that McNeely i...

Re: Bertagnole is returning!!

This whole discussion does not give Allen credit for being smart enough to make decisions based on what he felt was best for him at the time. He had spoken with agents and others like Wentz before choosing to stay at UW for 2017. Whatever factors led to his decision, he did what he felt best for him...

Re: Giles moving on

Can't blame him. I still think Aaron Bohl's getting the DC nod was something Craig Bohl had made sure of before he recommended Sawvel get the head coach position.

I am something of a conspiracy theorist when it comes to MW referees. It is in the conference's best interest if it gets as many teams playing March Madness. A NM win helps do that.

Re: Bertagnole is returning!!

Josh would have been invited to the Combine and had a pro day and done many interviews. He certainly would have improved his stock in the pre-Draft process. He may well ahve passed those that got drafted ahead of him. Again, this is all your opinion. You don't have a crystal ball. Which is the poin...

Re: Bertagnole is returning!!

Bertagnole is betting on himself. With his injury he was not going to get drafted this year anyhow. He knows he is a key part of Wyoming's defensive plans and will get the chance to shine on game tape. He could have opted into the portal but that would mean going to a new system with new coaches who...

Re: Crum and Gibbs to NFL Combine

Gibbs and Crum made the rosters for the East-West Bowl and Hula Bowl respectively. It seems likely that they showed out during the pre-game practices/games enough to impress some of the scouts who go to those things enough that they received the combine invites. I understand the goal of the combine ...

I rarely if ever read opposing teams message boards, but RamNation was a treat today. Full blown meltdown over the TO near the out of bounds.

Re: NIL at P4 per KW

I still wonder if college football will eventually have to be directly funded by the NFL as a farm system. Right now the NFL is essentially getting its new players trained at the college level without having to pay.

I don't think Bohl would ever have faked that punt even if they only lined up 1 defender much less 10 :rofl: At first I thought it was an audible by Hamlin but then I saw McDermott's press conference where he acknowledged it was something they put into the game plan and decided to try when they saw...
