Re: Curious: how'd you earn your WYO fan card?

Born in Laramie and lived all over Wyoming (Douglas, Sheridan, Hanna, Big Piney) before going to school at UW. My dad graduated from UW and we always watched whatever televised events the Pokes played in (pretty rare in the 90s compared to today). What cemented me as a Pokes fan was in 3rd grade I g...

Re: Will UNLV's coach Tony Sanchez be successful?

I don't think he will have much success either, however some big time UNLV donors have said they will start pumping a ton of money into the program now that Sanchez has been hired. Money for facilities and the like certainly won't hurt the program, but I think he's going to be in over his head.

Re: Fallout From Summer Fun

Zero tolerance on this. There are way too many easy options to get home, especially in Laramie. I didn't see anything in the article about DUI though, just disorderly conduct, falsifying ID, and underage consumption. Sounds like a fight and handing the cops a fake ID after drinking.

Re: BYU to return to Mountain West? BYU AD: 'never say never

As much satisfaction as it would give me to break it off in byu in Provo every other year, it's just not a smart move for the conference. We have absolutely nothing to gain. As others have mentioned we would have to cater to their every whim if they are let back in. I say let 'em rot.

Re: Marquestion Huff

I'm happy for Quest and glad to see he's having success at the next level. I too was surprised when he was drafted. Classic example of a lot of guys DC brought in. Lots of talent but they weren't coached up to be better, I mean the guy was stuck at corner for three years when he was a natural fit at...

Re: Travel plans for road games?

Out of curiosity, how fast do Laramie hotels fill up for football Saturdays? Is it ever a problem getting a room? Historically they've filled up really fast. Book as far out as possible if you're planning on staying in Laramie. You can always stay in Cheyenne and make the trip over, but that seriou...

Re: Buy or Sell Time!!!!

Sell: It will take more than a 6 - 1 record to get enough respect for the Pokes to make the top 25. (7 - 0 might do it though) B/S: Wyoming will sell out the War at least one time this season. Conditional sell. We will come close for the opener, 25K or so but as the season goes on attendance will d...

Re: Ryan Holmgren is no Mike Vorel

I have got no beef with Ryan. When theres a story to tell, he is on it. I think he will do just fine. This is Van Halen situation. Just because David Lee Roth was SO badass doesn't mean Sammy Hagar sucked. Its hard to fill the shoes of someone like that. IT'S VAN HALEN NOT VAN HAGAR! I agree, Vorel...

I'm more excited for the trip on this one, personally. I agree the game doesn't make a lot of sense. The only silver lining could be that we beat the sun belt champion at home.

Not bad, but it bums me out that the majority of the Nike stuff is gray in color. I don't mind a gray hoodie or something along those lines, but more gold stuff would be great.

I'm pretty excited to go to this game/trip. Decided to pass on the hotel room and we will be renting a cabin a little east of Boone up in the "high country" for the weekend. Never been back east other than a school trip to D.C. in 8th grade. For anyone looking to go and having trouble find...

96 WAC title against bywho? and 97 against CU are easily the most painful games I ever remember. So I have to say the safety was definitely the one play I would change.
