Re: 2014-2015 Poke Wrestling

Exciting times! If all goes well I think this team could move up and actually end up in the low to mid "teens". Right now it looks to me a top 10 finish might be a stretch but definitely a top program and moving up!

Sorry about that. I was afraid that might happen but was hoping it wouldn't. In any case, thanks Poke Fan!

Re: New Wrestling recruit

Awesome. Now if we can only keep him out of trouble and his grades good so he can actually compete for us. Agreed, but that is always the case. This young man is also an excellent student. He was recruited by Cornell where you have to be close to a genius just to show up. I think he will fit in ver...

Pokes Wrestling Schedule

It has been discussed before but I just looked at flowrestling team rankings and WOW! WY has duals against #1. Minn., #9. Nebraska and #10. Oklahoma State. To put this in perspective, if this were football, WY would be playing Florida State, Oklahoma, Arizona, TCU (depending on poll). I know the Pok...

Re: The Good, The Bad, and The Fugly. Game 4.

@Wyoexpat Great post. Every person that coaches knows the TRUE best coaches are those sitting in the stands (the fans.). However I will describe two scenarios to help answer your final question. Team "A" runs two plays off tackle, gaining 4 yards each down. On 3rd and 2 a deep pass is call...

Chris Pendleton to ASU

Love the excitement the Pokes football team is giving us this year but getting excited for the wrestling season. Hated to see Coach Pendleton leave for Arizona State but completely understand and thank him for the great things he did while at UW. Chris was a great ambassador for the university, stat...

Re: 2014-2015 Poke Wrestling

Unbelievably great schedule, both home and away. Branch and Co. Have done a remarkable job at WY. Wrestling is the one sport at Wyoming that can consistently compete with the elites in the nation.

Re: Egloff: "There's something about Wyoming that's differen

When my father was going to grad school at UW, we lived right across the street from Rick and his first wife, Patti. When all us little kids would be playing football outside we would go over and ask if Rick would come out and play with us. He always did. When Patti would answer we would ask her if ...

Re: McNeese State is Ranked 6th in FCS

Does any team in America pull more games out of their ass than NU? That catch/run today was just a great effort. However NU also pulled off "The Catch" against Missouri that allowed them to go on to win a national title. Last year they beat NWestern on a Hail Mary pass, drives me nuts! May...

Re: Wrestler wins national title, AD gets $18000

Or they do dual sport, like Dusty Hoffschneider did. Obviously this can be done, you provided a great example. However it is extremely rare. Football coaches don't want their scholarship kids taking a chance at injury or doing anything but training for football. As far as I could find out, not a si...

Re: Question about scholarships?

No. Football and basketball(maybe others, don't know) have to be full scholarships. This is exactly right. In football and basketball (not sure on all the others) you are either on a full scholarship or nothing. Some sports (wrestling) can divide the scholarship money. Other than those three, I am ...

Zach beard will be in at 174 and be ready to watch a talented young guy wrestle. It would be nice to have an actual hwt for the whole season for once. I lo end helbig and Pfeiffer does OK, but they won't ever be able to qualify. Harms may if he could stay healthy. When he finally came back after th...

Re: NCAA Wrestling Championships

Disappointing tournament-yes, unexpected-no (see my first post, this thread.). I will say I was hopeful for more wins then this. Look for the Pokes to come back very strong next year. This will absolutely eat at Coach Branch for quite some time and it will get remedied. Very young and inexperienced ...

Re: NCAA Wrestling Championships

Tough day for sure but not totally unexpected. Looks like Stroh has good shot at winning his next two. Cox really needed to win that last match. The guys are going to pick up some wins but its going to be real hard for any of them to make it to the stand this year.

Re: NCAA Wrestling Championships

What is the outlook for WYO next season? Top 15-20 ranking possible? How many potential NCAA qualifiers next year? Things look very good for next year, especially looking at how young they are this year. Top 20 probable, top 10 definitely possible. Depending how wts. Shake out I would say 6-7 quali...
