Fixing this

[Yabadabadoo]

Rush Limbaugh is the most successful and most listened to talk radio show host in the world. If anyone admits to listening to him (I do on occasion) they would be in pretty decent company.

Liberalism is, after all, a mental disorder, with nothing substantive to show for it's agendas...ever.

I won't take the bait, Dino, but I'll happily trade you blow for blow mentally any day.

Signed,

One fiercely independent liberal.

You already took the bait.

Facts my friend, only facts, please.

I'm more than willing to go blow for blow with you on this - or any subject.

If you have any time, make sure to tell Harry Reid that WyoNation's board says hello.

Yay, look the democraps and republicons jumped in and are ruining a perfectly good discussion. Par for the course, I suppose.

But here's my prognostication about Burman: if Bohl succeeds, Burman will be here until he wants to leave. If Bohl fails, then Burman will be out.

:rofl:

If we had a president with any balls (I am looking at you Buchanan) - Burman doesn't make it past the Schroyer debacle. The fail in that, is still felt on game-days in the AA to this day. It could easily go down as the $5,000,000 mistake (at this point), that Mr. Ball-less just seemed to glance right over.

I am betting that the next UW president isn't going to just sit idly by, and allow UW athletics to "do more with less" - or "the same with the same" as it is more appropriately referred to these days. Regardless of what Bohl accomplishes in 2020. Burman won't have (and shouldn't have) that much time.

I hope this is sarcasm. It's deeper seated than just with the president, who we all know is a puppet for the board of trustees, which is where this entrenched attitude of "good enough is good enough, and do more with less" comes from.

There is a lot of truth in this statement. Many members of our State Legislature are guilty of this "entrenched attitude" also.

We had a President that was going to right the wrong and turn this ship around he just made too many waves and rustled to many feathers and unfortunately that is what every president from here out will have to deal with.

I'd venture to say any possible candidate for president that does any research will be swayed away from the school based on what the last one went through trying to implement change and that sucks.

Running off Sternberg, even if there were valid reasons, to the outside world reeks of cronyism and a self serving board of trustees. Any professional that would apply for the gig that had even the slightest bit of integrity would yank their application after doing a little due-diligence. I'm not a huge Burman fan, but you have to think with the administration in place that anyone in a leadership role at UW is severely hamstrung when it comes to decision making. The good old boy system is always about what's doing best for their interests, not what's best for UW as a whole. So long as UW projects this mindset and culture, and staff leave to get away from the culture and spread that message around, we will be stuck in this same situation. It is a sad state of affairs.

Au contraire, RTJ, please refrain from referring to me as a 'Republican', something I haven't been in just about 20 years.

For further reference you may refer to me as a staunch unapologetic and unbending social and fiscal 'conservative', well-well to the right, and as anti-Government as one may be.

But you're right, lets drop the political elements from this discussion (somebody stirred this pot by mentioning Rush Limbaugh) and I will refrain from further political discourse post-haste.

Lets go Pokes, lets get a win this weekend!

After that fiasco, I emailed each and every one of the UW Board of Trustees and suggested they all resign their seats. I gave my name, address, & phone number. None of them contacted me, but one of them is an attorney where I live and he has put me on his black list. I see him every once in a while and he puts on his smug attitude. I sure hope it doesn't rain while he is outside, he might drown.

LOL That is awesome. At least someone has the balls to stands up to those fools.

Sometimes I feel like I'm talking to walls.

Want to change it? Let's start an initiative that changes the BOT to ELECTED positions. There's no accountability from them. We can change that.

Elected persons that don't have to be from Wyoming. Wasn't there a point on the ballot that addressed this not too long ago?

Something needs to change for sure. Elected BOT is one way, but there sure are a lot of uneducated voters out there.

Yep. A proposed amendment to the State Constitution addressed that except it got rejected by the voters.

Dumb. Sorry to say, but I'm not sure there are enough qualified people that live in Wyoming. The type of people that we want on the BOT probably reside in big cities like Denver and have successful careers.
