Interesting. I wonder who their next coach is going to be.
Are these guys being serious about Big12? Or at least auditioning for the Big12 in terms of money commitment? Either way they are leaving us behind.

Stop it with the big XII stuff. What makes them worthy of the Big XII?BeaverPoke said:

It doesn't matter if I think they are going to the Big12. It matters if the people who fund their program think they can make it to the Big12.
They are the ones going to build a new stadium. They are the ones who just had a great season. They have a chance to make on hell of a hire here right now to maintain their success.
It might be laughable, but I remember people on here saying "The idea of CSU getting a new stadium is laughable".
My point is, they are going places, and we aren't. It might not be the Big12, it might be the top of the MWC. Either way, we are being left behind.
Argue the semantics all you want- CSU is ahead of us, and leaving us behind quickly.

So if we have one 10-win season are we Big XII material?

If we won 10 games our coach would sure as shit be SEC material, actually probably NFL material.

Really? Wyoming has already responded. The proposed $20 million high altitude athletic training center, the two -phase renovation of the AA, and other projects show Wyoming isn't standing still. If anything, the sheep are trying to catch up with Wyoming. A brand new stadium with no one there is still an empty stadium.
Do the Ewes have a shot at the Big 12? Maybe, only because they've got potential eyeballs and TV sets, something Wyoming won't have, thankfully, for years to come.
In stead of worrying about the sheep's new stadium, which is still not fully funded, BTW, the state of Wyoming should concentrate on getting the Pokes to the top of the MWC.

You are exactly right.

It's such a double-edged sword. I want to see our athletics go big time, but I hate people and big cities! The only reason CSU would ever get an invite to the Big XII would be because of the TV revenue which I never see that happening.

The thing I admire about them, though, is that they have stated they are goaling for the B12. At least they have an ambitious vision. I'm sure they know it's the longest of shots, but at least they think big and are taking the necessary steps that they've determined are part of the process. Conference championships would be part of the norm if you're building towards the P5. We have decent facilities, sure, but I know we lack vision and drive. I've read too many times that the athletic department's goals are to finish in the top half of the league on a regular basis with possible contention for a championship every few years. Apparently we can wait more than 12 years before getting serious. Yay sixth place ribbons for all of us!

This is exactly my point.
Too many Wyo fans want to pick apart irrelevant things and not look at the big picture.
Who cares if CSU isn't dreaming too big and come up short of their goal? Are us Wyo fans going to point and laugh at CSU for not making it to the Big12 in 5 years, meanwhile they have X amount of 10 win seasons, X amount of Big Dance appearances, and X MWC titles and Top 25 rankings?
While we sit here getting a new coach again in 4 years and saying "THIS TIME IT WILL BE DIFFERENT!"
CSU is doing so much more than we are.
Laugh at their dream, but at least they have one. We are the pathetic guy who lives with his mom at 30, making fun of the kids who didn't accomplish everything they wanted, and make fun of them for dreaming big.

No, actually they aren't...no matter how many times you say it.
Though I suppose there's no harm in you calling the UW Trustees to see if they want to build another on campus football stadium. Who knows, they might think two would be nice.

What we should really do is thank Tony Frank for driving CSU's construction debt to near $1 billion (yes, billion) and further increasing tuition and student loan debt on his students!
Great job, goatee boy! :tickedoff:
In the meantime, at good ol' UW:

Indeed. That $250+ million dollar stadium is going to do great the five or six times they use it a year.
Awesome!
