Here's the deal. We can advance the technology of the helmet and shoulder pads all we want. We will never be able to protect the brain against the skull it rests inside. The injury doesn't happen when a helmet hits the head, it happens when the brain smashes against the skull --- from the inside. Th...

Because it's made out of metal now. Dude can't even look over his own shoulder now. Not a good quality to want in an aging QB.

"... Now that I think about it, I don’t really think I ever get any mental rest"

I really don't think this is a good thing.

I don't know what you're trying to say, but if you're satisfied with last nights turnout then OK. I'd love to see a packed house every game if it were possible, but the constant, non-stop bitching about low attendance isn't going to solve the problem and is growing tiresome. The students showed, we...

Why aren't you there, hmm? A short plane trip from Cali for a Tues night game in a snowstorm isn't too much to ask from any true fan. It's pathetic. Growing up in Laramie I remember plenty of games where when the roads were closed meant we only got 7K in the stands. Did you have to walk uphill both...

Roads are closed. Guess they should fire up the snowmobiles?

The full story is good to hear first sometimes.

Really? So if this kid get offered by Oregon in 3 years....you're gonna sound really dumb. Are there gowyogo posters spilling onto wyonation? This pessimism sounds like rivals crap. Good for Cade. I look forward to bringing back this thread in 3 years and serving copious amounts of crow. I don't th...

Them Smith guys play better pissed off, so saying this is just for Brett's sake oughta put even more snarl on Cade's face. Keep up the good work!!! Well hopefully Cade can worry about being 15 yrs old and not have to deal with all that comes with being an NCAA starting QB quite yet. Would hate for ...

I'm confused by all of this. The offer was probably a political move to keep the Smith's happy so we don't lose yet another QB to a transfer. This attitude bugs the poop out of me.I heard other students say ALL THE TIME during the season "It kinda sucks that Smith is playing so well cuz now he...

Why not offer to a talented youngster with which you already have some ties? The potential reward far outweighs the risk of offering someone so young... ...unless, of course, that youngster happens to have played a game in Wyoming, then only offer if two or more higher-profile programs have already...

This.

Watching high school sports in Wyoming is not a comparison to other places. Sure, we can produce the occasional stud but let's not lie to ourselves here.

Yup, being an AD or comissioner is like being President of the USA. No one likes you while you're still in office, it's not til later when people are bitching about their new leader they realize that maybe you weren't so bad.

Burman and Thompson both have been great for Wyo and the MWC.

I fully agree with calpoke. You can voice your displeasure all you want, but all you're going to accomplish is to annoy at least a few people sitting around you and if the coaches even heard you (trust me, they didn't), they would not even consider anything you shouted as relevant to their cause. I ...

Here's to racking up hundreds upon hundreds of yards rushing against that DLine of CSEWE for the next few years!

I was under the impression we were all at a consensus he shouldn't be our DC anymore anyways.

I'd be happy if the dark side had a defense like we did last year, haha.

"We like being on top" - nice.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but DU ranked? No way I believe that. They'd have to be at least 19-0 before they started receiving votes.

I think we could/should beat either one of these teams this year.

putting on pounds on an 18 year old who is already above 250 lbs is actually a pretty simple task.

I could be wrong, someone correct me if they have the actual reason. From what I understood when it happened was because somehow the BYU & CSU games ended up in synch, meaning either both were home or both were away every year and the school wanted to have at least one those games at home every ...
