Re: Poke fans have to feel good about the Boot coming

Did you see our first 2 games? We’re 2-0, but I ain’t about to pencil in any W’s. Especially a rivalry game. This. They could be 0-8, we could be 8-0, and it will always be a helluva game. That, and I am way to cautious of a WYO fan to lock in W's or talk Sh#t, before the fat lady sings. I have wat...

Re: Time to get back on the coaching carousel.

How many conference championships do we have under Burman? Anything short of 7 wins this year should result in a cleaning out from the top. That is fine, and I would be in agreement. Yet we are one game in and we are 1-0. The game winning TD pass was a beaut. Also while there were a lot of struggle...

Re: Time to get back on the coaching carousel.

Montana just beat Washington.. everyone needs to calm tf down. Yeah I was pretty stoked to see that result. Montana and Montana State are historically good FCS programs and there isn't as big a difference between the top of the FCS and the bottom of the FBS as many think. Tip of the cap to Montana ...

Re: Ryan Thorburn

Wow. The CST finally hired a beat writer with skin in the game. Is this a shift from the idea of hiring college grads with no experience from out of state? Maybe they're finally starting to realize they're losing readers because no Wyoming fan is interested in reading Missouri and Mississippi grads...

Re: How are things in my favorite two places in the world, Laramie & Cheyenne, Wy.

I can't wait to get back there for a visit. I love all of Wyoming. I’ll be honest, not many from Wyoming would say Cheyenne is one of their favorite places in the state.

Re: Fall camp

It'd be nice to know some stats. My biggest concern is that we don't have a QB on the roster that can throw the ball. I love Chambers' fight and I understand his record, but the kid hasn't been able to throw the ball. You can yell record at me until you are blue in the face, but, unless we have a f...

Re: Fall camp

From 7220, Bohl is saying the QB position race is tight. Said Chambers did "some good things" and made "a couple of nice plays", but wasn't as consistent as he had been at camp. Levi did "some good things" and that Levi was more consistent in the scrimmage. I dunno, sou...

Re: First Realignment rumor of the 2020s

Old Bull might end up being right. So far tonight, the Big 12 sent ESPN a cease and desist letter because the rumor is that ESPN is actively trying to move 3-5 of the remaining eight schools into the American Athletic Conference just to dissolve the Big 12 quicker and not pay the Big 12 any T.V. mo...

Re: What affect do you think Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) will have on college athletics?

I've all for the athlete benefiting from NIL. But I just don't know how it's going to impact many of the team sports. For example, if a team has a big time QB and he receives all sorts of endorsements and he comes driving up to practice in his brand new Vet and the offensive linemen that block for ...

Re: Who are we? Where are we heading?

2018 was rough, then 2019 we had a tough schedule I realize everyone has their own definitions, but, for reference... SOS 2016 = 77 2017 = 84 2018 = 84 2019 = 85 2020 = 99 Not exactly tough in my opinion and certainly not murder's row. Basically bottom 1/3 to bottom 1/4 in fbs schedule strength. I'...

Re: Who are we? Where are we heading?

Competing for a conference championship 3 seasons out of 4 would meet my threshold. For now. The fact is, one has to constantly adjust their expectations or else complacency rears its ugly head. Just so I understand....you are asking that we achieve at a level that we have not done...ever? At least...

Re: Tim Polasek

I agree that the length of time that a particular coordinator or position coach stays anywhere seems to be going down across the board. The problem is that duration of tenure doesn't capture the issue that i'm speaking to. There is a huge difference in compensation at the same position (comparing O...

Re: Tim Polasek

If he has one or two good years, he's gone to a p5 team again. Or maybe Bohl hangs it up and he becomes Wyoming's head coach. Bohl won't be coaching very many more years. Vigen was slated to be the guy in waiting but it became apparent that he had very little chance for that (so he went to Montana ...
