Dino pretending to be a Wyo fan..

[Subcanis]

Dino, I get that you want to see a much better product out there. We all do. Our defense is embarrassing, no doubt.
But what I don't get, is why you won't cheer for Wyo to go to, and win a bowl?
If you are a fan, you should be cheering for Wyo to win as much as possible.
Yes the defense is atrocious, but if we get the W, why not enjoy it?

I want changes made and want the team to be much better next season, yeah, but I still hope the team wins out this season.

You just perfectly expressed the difference between someone who expects excellence and someone who's just happy with what they get.

What? Because I cheer for Wyo to win that is being happy with what I get? Okay.....

No, because you pump up dubious victories while trying to denigrate people who want to curb sophomoric, facile enthusiasm and face reality so we can identify our issues and address them in order to achieve an acceptable level of play.

While I agree, you used a lot of big words that the target audience won't comprehend.

Is the target audience not college-educated?

Debatable.

I'm beginning to worry our deficits may extend well beyond athletics...

My statics prof was the dean of the engineering school. He had a rope in compression on his final, and he was fine with it. Have you ever tried to push anything with a rope?

Haha good God man. I've said this before, all I want is Wyoming to win a bowl game this season. You just want Wyoming to lose.
And you want to curb the enthusiasm so we can identify our issues and address them? Lol what are we the fucking coaches now? You think it really matters what some fans say on the internet?? Haha holy shit really?
Bottom line is I cheer for Wyoming to win. And you think your constant bitching about the program, using lame ass movie quotes, and insulting real fans who cheer makes a difference in Wyoming Cowboy football. This forum was intended to provide a place for Wyoming fans to talk football, not for you to think your whining, shit-talking, forced misery, high horse riding/chest thumping and overall false sense of superiority actually have any impact on Wyoming Cowboy football.
"Identify and address our issues".... what a joke. You're on a message board dude! Not the coaching staff.

Ever wonder why there is a culture of complacency and a lackadaisical attitude toward accountability for performance (as cited by Sternberg's commissioned report) so entrenched at UW Athletics?

Believe me, I have far, far more years and effort invested in this program than you ever will.

Oh you have more years invested than I do? Please tell me how that makes you a fan one more time. And by the way, thump that chest some more, I actually might start cheering for Wyo to lose so I can act like I'm the great know-all like you!

Tell you what, kid- when you've had the same season tickets for over thirty years, get back to me. I'll never get those thirty years back, and you'll likely never surpass my investment. Unless you can somehow match that or make me whole, I'd say that in terms of measurable commitment to UW Athletics, you're in, not just mine, but a lot of people's shadows around here, with little chance of getting any sunlight soon.

Can't argue with you there. Guess I'm just hoping if I give enough rope...

Beav... I've tried, I really have. But I can't wait until you go back home and annoy you're beloved OSU fans with you're unfounded optimism.

On the other hand, I believe the Beavers may actually, at some point, live up to your expectations.

Go back home? To Evanston? I'm from Wyoming genius.

Many of the responses to this thread and others re-affirm my faith in the astute Wyoming fan and general football fan.

Kudos to many of you who recognize the over the top hyperbole being employed by some here with a win today over a previously and still winless football team --- and doing so by the skin of their teeth.

The notes about how this pom-pom waving over such a trivial football game today reflects the poisoned culture of sub mediocrity is right on the mark - and I applaud those who see through the charade.

Win or lose today - this is a shipwrecked football program that is in dire need of a total and complete fumigation from top to bottom.

These silly words about a bowl game show a total lack of awareness by some -- I fear these are the same kinds of people who unfortunately have been a part of the problem in Laramie -- instead of part of the solution.

Their manufactured enthusiasm over such a game like this afternoon's aids and abets the system that has been status quo for far too long.

If a win over a winless opponent at the end of a more than dreary season is enough to get people as excited as I've seen through reading some posts here -- then why should the 'good-enoughers' in Laramie seek major changes?

They look at this stuff with the birthday parties being thrown by some here and say to themselves; 'See? All they want is a nice and exciting win once in a while. And as long as we get to 5 wins each year with a chance for a 6th in our final game with the possibility of bowl eligibility...that's good enough for our fans".

Excuse my french my friends: But I say BULLSHIT to that.

It may be enough for some brown & gold cheerleaders here - but it is far from good enough for me, and obviously, based upon some great posts I've read tonight, it's not good enough for others besides myself.

I'd rather tear this house down completely and finish 2--10 next season --> if it meant that we were headed by an administration and a coaching staff that was competent, had vision, was effective recruiting athletes, had clear championship aspirations, and can produce sustained football success.

Anything else, such as silly short term gratification based upon an irrelevant victory earlier today, and believing that that victory can even temporarily band-aid the infectious disease that continues to spread at The War, is someone who has zero credibility, and more than that hasn't a clue about how to actually build something of tangible quality.

Wyoming Football is dead right now and it needs a resurrection - and the current people involved are not those to be entrusted with the task.

Today's BIG win doesn't move the needle forward in that vain even one degree.

You may question my fandom all you wish to you simple-minded little pissant - however - I know where my heart and rooting interests lie, and it's always with the Pokes.

Because I am such a passionate fan I want more.

I demand more.

And so should you.

More than wanting and demanding more, how about possessing some discernment along the way, and realizing that a 'bowl game' is, at this juncture, MEANINGLESS to the short AND long term growth of this football program.

When Wyoming football is headed up by the professional and maturation like qualities of a Larry Shyatt type individual, I'll be more than enamored with the direction of what goes on on the floor of War Memorial Stadium.

The Pokes have given up TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE POINTS (255) in their LAST FIVE (5) GAMES.

That's an average of over FIFTY ONE (51) points per game over that span.

Grow up.

How you or anyone else can look themselves in the mirror or take themselves seriously when referencing 'bowl game' in the same sentence as the current incarnation of Wyoming Football is out of touch -- and helpless I'm afraid.

Wyonavian keep thumping that shit man! You're older than me I get it, that automatically makes you SUPER fan. You have season tickets, good for you, you should have the ultimate authority over everyone! Fuck, why haven't we made you the AD yet? Oh wait I know....because your opinion doesn't fucking matter. And in the real world, movie quotes and being a pretentious ass don't accomplish ANYTHING. Well of course, unless you're an actor. But you're not. You're just some guy who thinks he has the ultimate authority on anything who football related, and how misinformed you really are.

What else would you like to tell me? How many dollars you have paid to cowboy Joe club?

 

[BeaverPoke]

Dino, who exactly are you talking about? Who said they are happy with 5 wins?
And part of the problem in Laramie? Man shove that shit up your New York ass.
You know so much about the Wyoming way, the U of W, and Laramie don't you?

And why haven't you answered my question? Why won't you cheer for Wyoming to win if you're such a fan?

Oh and one more thing, thank God you posted those stats about our defense, no one on here had any idea Wyoming has a shit defense.

PS: Mad props. Not many would willingly claim Evanston.

I think you'd be pretty shocked to know whose ears I can bend, and whose faces I can blanch.

Like it or not, guy, there is a strata of supporters in all college sports programs. It's why some people get on-court seating, low seats on the fifty, nice parking spaces, and free liquor at away games. These people have, one way or another, earned their place in that strata.

If you want to go around knocking what such people say who have invested so much in this program- invested because of their nearly unconditional (especially being Wyoming fans) love for UW, if you want to knock their reticent enthusiasm over a rather hollow and somewhat lucky win whilst not ignoring the sad state of affairs their beloved team has fallen into, that's fine. But spare me the working class hero indignity of your wounded ego when the differences are pointed out, basically at your own insistence.

My deal with OS is they have a program that I've always wanted to do. And in the past couple years realized I could actually do it. SHOULD have already transferred there but had some other issues come up, and that's why I'm still here.
