Re: Pokes struggle with Ram

I was very disappointed with our defensive intensity. We didn't contest 3 pointers and we let Carr drive the lane anytime he wanted. Ewing had one of his worst games, imo. He shot horribly, dribbled around too much and got burned on defense several times in the second half. Also, nothing out of the ...

fellow Pokes, I'm driving up for the game tomorrow. Can someone tell me the condition of 287?

thanks and go Pokes!

McPeachy, with all due respect....

As one who bets against the spread, I would expect Wyo. to be a double digit underdog at SDSU. That is not a tossup. The 3 games at home you have as tossups: UNLV, Utah,and NM, we will probably be small underdogs in everyone of those games. I don't believe we will win all 3 and we might even lose 2 ...

Yep, we snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory

better than anyone. Totally agree with you AG. That is not a very good TCU team. Its sad how far we've fallen. We have lost to TCU 3 straight and 4 of the last 5. We look destined to finish in the bottom of the league with CSU and Air force. I feel we have talent but we sure can't put it together fo...

I was at the game.....

I too was impressed with how this team has progressed. If this team had Justin Williams, it would be a sweet sixteen contender. With Ogirri, Afam, and Ewing, we have the best back court since Straight, Richardson, and Bailey. Johnson can play in the post with nearly anyone. However, we lost that gam...

Re: Can this team keep from being sub .500 in MWC play?

crappy teams make crappy fans. Not one single win against a decent team. If they beat SDS next week, I might start to believe. There's still a bitter taste in my mouth after having to play in the play in game last year and losing to an 0-16 team. If that makes me a crappy fan, fine.

Re: Can this team keep from being sub .500 in MWC play?

Well, I can be pretty negative. However, Let's see how they play after this long break. We still have the best point guard in the conference. Also, we have some shooters. I think at home, we might shoot some teams out of the gym. However, we need to rebound better. Waddell needs to stay in the game....

Re: I couldn't delete that abomination from my DVR fast enough

We didn't lose by 20, or even 30. That's a 50 pointer. It reminds me of when Joby took us into Cincinati and we lost 51-101. Bottom line: this guy can't coach or recruit. We don't have 1 guy in the 3,4, or 5 position who can rebound or play defense. Interior passing is nonexistant. No boxing out and...

Re: Three Possible Interviews Done?

I would be disappointed if they hired Gilmore. Nebraska is a shell of its former self. They have not had a winning tradition in many years. I don't see what he brings to the table. I hope TB interviews Gary Barnett. He has had major success at Northwestern and CU. Look at CU since he left. Hawkins t...

Re: Barnett & Smith are my number 1 choices...

I like Barnett also. He performed a miracle at Northwestern before coming to CU. Neuheusal recruits a female kicker for publicity and Barnett gets stuck with her. Well, Barnett said a few things he shouldn't have but he was stuck with a situation that no college football coach should have to deal wi...

Re: Time to clean house and that includes the DC

Stutzreim is a redshirt freshman. If he leaves, he will have to sit out another year. IMO, we will not miss him. Maybe he can follow Joe back to Northern Colorado. We need a proven assistant at the D1 level imo. No more lower division coaches. If UW can spend 35 million to improve the stadium, then ...

Time to clean house and that includes the DC

Two years in a row and 3 out of 4 where CSU has killed us with long pass plays. I have nothing against Breske but I don't think he should be considered for the HC. Whoever the new coach is, he has to perform a recruiting miracle. We have to get a D1 caliber qb in here. Stutzreim missed so many open ...

Re: The day after.... 12 Oct 2008

I'm not one to defend Joe's coaching, but someone explain to me why he should be recruiting. How can he look a recruit in the eye and and tell him he's going to be the coach next year. I mean, who's going to come to Wyo. without meeting the coach or coaches who he's going to play for? I think CSU we...

Re: Talent Level

Great post! When asked who the better coach was, himself or Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer replied, "When I had the better players, I was the better coach. When Jimmy had the better players, he was the better coach". No coach could win with this group. I think a different coach might get a l...

Re: I am damn near in tears...

McPeachy, I have a slightly different take. I think we have no talent. The recruiting is the worst I've ever seen in my 30 years as a poke fan. We have no receiver talent and very little running back talent to go with no qb talent whatsoever. I watch us play and I think I'm watching a D2 school. Whi...

You're excused. It's hard to get too peppy about this group. I was just checking into a few preseason BB publications. We are picked either 7th or 8th in the MWC this year. I think its time to find a new hobby.

Re: Anybody remember Al Kincaid?

I think he ran the wishbone. The reason it rings a bell is that Erickson came in and took Scott Runyon ( a wishbone qb) and turned him into a passing machine.

Why is anyone surprised?

I have made a small fortune betting against our boys this year. I don't believe coaching is the problem. Glen did win a bowl game with Vic's guys. The problem is the recruiting. We have the slowest team I've ever seen. I won't reiterate the obvious. We've seen it for a year and 1/2. Here's how I see...
