Hell there's been recruits in there along with tons of freshman.
Really? Seriously? UW students under the age of 21 are "going to the bar"? Recruits and freshman too?

You should contact the NCAA. This is an outrage.
Lack of institutional control!
Next thing we will hear is that their is premarital the deed going on.............
Wait wait wait, so you have been saying they are 21 the whole time, then I point out that the recruits and freshman are also there, and you give me the "no-poop" argument? Then why have you been arguing that they are 21 the whole time if you know they aren't?
I know it goes on every where, but if the way Wyo gets recruits to join the team is by taking them to the Buck when they are 17 year old seniors in high school, that shows a lot right there.
That shouldn't be the type of kids we are going after.
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

Hang on a second - are you saying that UNDERAGE UW football players - that played earlier in the day, were in the Buck Saturday night?
If so, that is very much different - I misunderstood. My bad.
I can't say for sure if there were underage players at the buck after the game, because I haven't been to the Buck in a very long time.
But every time I have been there I have seen numerous underage football players.
Kind of sucks when you wait so long for your 21st b-day, go to a bar, and when you walk in, kids younger than you are in there acting like they own the place already.
If I were to bet on whether there were 18-20 year old Wyo football players at the Buck saturday night, I would bet heavily on yes.

I think it is in everyone's best interest to stop posting on this thread. We don't want to be the cause of anything. Just like any university, college kids will be college kids. Like I said earlier, if you are upset with kids being out at the bars or laughing on the sidelines, blame the coaching staff. They set the rules and create that type of atmosphere that allows for this to go on.

First off, I DID NOT say it was a "good idea" in my post. Where did you get that from? Second, they are 21, and they are responsible for their own actions (and lack of actions). DC, Burman, Shyatt, etal are not the player Da Da's...these are big boys, making big boy decisions.
Further, We didn't have a player killed stumbling out of a bar. Unless you consider "stumbling out of a bar" as: Climbing a 10 foot fence, and then trying to jump from one moving train to another moving train, hammered. And there is more to that story as well.
So if it's not a good idea, does that mean it's a bad idea?
With that and the Martinez incident last year, I can't believe it's not a team rule. I get what you're saying about them being old enough to make their own decisions, but kids of that age do tend to make dumb decisions. I would at least like to see a rule that prohibits being in the bars during the season. Aren't they in training?

Sounds like college kids having fun. They are students trying to have a good time. I am sure they didn't like getting their a$$ handed to them but they are still students.
The fact remains fans will always reflect back on the game but the players have lives outside of football.

So you think after x pages that stuffing our collective heads in the sand is going to make this thread disappear?
College kids will be college kids, true. Scholarship football MEN need to act accordingly.

Few men could stand that kind of battering without bleeding from the nose, and most became nauseated as well. Ol' Steamboat put some of the toughest into the hospital for repairs."

I have no problem with a player who's of age going to a bar on his free time. He's an adult, afterall. I think the galling aspect of this is the lack of sensitivity on the part of the football players to the feeling of their fans. Showing up at the Buck to have a good time after your most hated rival handed you your ass is not the best public relations move in the world. It shows a real lack of respect to the fans. Look, I can understand wanting to drown your sorrows after that debaucle, but in this case the players should have done it out of the public eye. In my humble opinion.
