Just sent the following email to Prez Reeves:
Please listen to the fans!
General Reeves,
I am sending you this email out of a place of emotion, but also from a place of common sense. Wyoming sports used to be a pillar of collegiate sports on a national level. That small school that everyone....and I mean EVERYONE feared to play. From the days where the Dome of Doom was a guaranteed loss to perennial national powers like Utah in the late 90s early 2000s, to the fear opponents felt coming into the War, at altitude, against Wyoming tough teams of the 90s.
For the past 30 years, Wyoming athletics has taken the stance of mediocrity. "If we can do the minimum, we win" attitude. Wyoming has not won an outright title (regular season) since the 2001-2002 Basketball team. I was there when we took on a Utah team that was the favorite with Rick Majerus on the sideline. The AA was packed to capacity (before the "remodel") and was the last time I felt that much pride in my Alma Mater.
We have had our blips of success. We have had our share of "got close". But we are talking a quarter century of mediocrity.
I implore you to take a look at the history of Wyoming athletics and honestly evaluate our current AD and his performance over the past 20 years. It has been close to 25 years since Wyoming Athletics has had a significant presence in the world of Collegiate Athletics and I am but one voice that remains passionate about our University, but by no means the only voice.
Please, take a real look at the state of Athletics and do what needs to be done.
V/r,
Will Harman
