Re: How do you feel about the QB position

I am very optimistic about Svoboda. The game he played at Texas made me a believer. He made 2-3 throws in that game that I haven't seen a Wyoming QB in the past two decades make other than Josh Allen. He isn't an elite runner/scrambler, but I was surprised with his scrambling ability against a very ...

Re: BB transfer portal is open

This is as good as it will ever get for NCAA athletes. Give it 10 years...the majority of NIL deals will be incentive based. If you don't play well, you don't get paid. I would also not be surprised if we start seeing contracts that legally oblige the athletes to commit to a specific school/team for...

Re: BB transfer portal is open

The problem with NIL as it currently exists is that it has created a professional sporting league where athletes are paid by unaffiliated third parties rather than the schools (ie the employers) themselves. This gives all of the negotiating power to the athletes and none to the schools/coaching staf...

Re: 24-25 Roster

Caden Powell - gone Seems that 2 seasons is the limit for most players under Linder. Not sure Powell will ever be much of an impact player on any mid-major (or higher) college basketball program. He has very poor hands and is not very poised with the ball in tight spaces down low. I do think he cou...

Re: 24-25 Roster

This sounds like complete horse crap. The best athlete on the team? And he couldn't see the court over Kojenets - a guy who looks like he has trouble getting food to his mouth. If that's true, then Linder should be fired right now for gross incompetence. Read the article. Or even the post you are r...

Re: Trending in the Wrong Direction

The generally accepted recommendation is that you should save a minimum of 10x your annual salary if you want to retire at age 67 and live a similar lifestyle in retirement. If you want to travel and have some fun in retirement, you will need much more than that. This also assumes you have a home th...

Re: Trending in the Wrong Direction

I highly doubt this is the case. That approach would be career suicide. If you fail at Wyoming and get fired, you aren't going to have many coaching opportunities present themselves. Maybe an assistant at a mid-major or a D2 team might take the chance to hire you as a head coach. The fastest way ou...

Re: Trending in the Wrong Direction

Because last year was such a trainwreck, I think I felt somewhat relieved that this year's team wasn't as bad. But in reality, it was still a pretty awful result. Another losing season and not really competitive with the better teams in the conference. As others have posted, we will basically start...

Re: MWC Basketball to go to 20 game conference schedule

DU, Northern Colorado, and Montana State should be a staple in our non-conference basketball schedule every single year. Travel is relatively easy with those teams, and I have to believe our fans care more about a game against a regional team they recognize vs. a school they have to google to find o...

Re: Fresno - twice in a row

We have looked a lot better beginning with the second half of the UNLV game at home that went to OT. In my opinion, the last 2 weeks have been the best basketball the team has played all year. We are peaking at the right time. Will that peak be high enough to make a run in the MWC Tournament? We wil...

Re: Semi-OT:long distance Amtrak

I would be shocked if this happens anytime in the near future. Spending money on infrastructure is no longer something voters in this country put any value on. Politicians know this and steer clear of infrastructure plans, especially long-term ones, in their campaigns. Instead, they focus on the thi...

That was a very painful year, although we did find a way to beat CSU 44-0 to close out the season.
Bohl's first 2 years were top 5 worst Wyoming teams imo. Maybe top 3
I agree on his second year. It was atrocious.

His first year was bad, but I wouldn't put it in top 5 worst teams.
