Larry Shyatt's post game comment

[DocHolliday]

I was struck by a comment that Larry Shyatt made following last night's glorious come-back win at Nevada.

Following the game while being interviewed by Dave & Kevin, Shyatt, when talking about how special a group this year's team is said: "I keep telling people about this group...and if they can't see it yet they're missing something special. If they can't see it by now I don't know what to tell them...maybe I'll go and buy them Kentucky season tickets."

I found this a bit odd considering the euphoria surrounding last night's great win.

I'm probably alone on this one...or am I?

I would be annoyed if I was him as well. So many fair weather fans commenting on the interwebs. I haven't checked the game thread yet but I GUARANTEE it goes from "we should give up. Every player is terrible" to "We are the best team ever"

Kentucky season tickets would be pretty sweet...

Blame twitter for putting negative fans, the ease of talking shit on social media, and instant long distance communication in the coaches ear. People should do jail time for some of the shit they say on the web.

I love Coach Shy ... but I think he needs to ignore the twitter feeds (perhaps relayed to him via his son) and lay off the Wyoming fans a bit. It has been a long dry spell but the fans are beginning to show up. We had close to 8000 against a team that hadn't defeated a D1 team and on the heels of two nasty, nasty losses without Nance. For most of us close to the program, there is much love and appreciation for the character of the young men making up this team.

Agree whole heartedly. We pay his salary. If were not stoked with being blown out by Air Force and embarrassed by SDSU that's our right. Focus more on th court and less about us off the court. I have always hated when he says shit like this

I enjoy his comments criticizing fans for not filling up seats. this team deserves a sell out and unfortunately I don't think they're gonna get one, shame on us.

I have nothing to be ashamed of. Through migraines and blizzards I haven't missed a home game

Only missed one game myself. My wife was getting an epidural as Nance won the opening tip lol. Let me rephrase, shame on the empty seats

I think if theres a reason to miss a game, the springing forth of a new cowboy fan is as good as there is. It would be awesome to see the AA standing room only again but frankly the team has to be more consistent, more consistently....if that makes sense. For 4 straight years, the second we look like we're turning the corner we stink up the joint for a stretch. Injuries, suspensions, whatever. We have to put those aside and take care of business. There isn't a team in America who doesn't face drama and struggles. Do that and the fans will come.

Agreed. I've got a feeling that the guys in the pipeline are going to have a season where they sell-out the AA for a bunch of games.

Oh really. Who does?

 

[Cowboy Junky]

He's got every right to call out the fans. At the start of this season we were averaging about 5000 fans for a team that had 20 win seasons in back to back years and only had those seasons derailed by the loss of our best player.

If what he says is bothering you it's probably because you're one of the people that needs to be bothered by it:

1. One of the people bitching on twitter/gowyogo/wyonation.
2. One of the people that rarely goes to games....

Etc.

I like what he's saying. It's getting the fan base to realize that they are equally responsible for supporting this team: either through positive encouragement or putting their ass in an empty basketball seat.

I can read just fine, good enough to see threads on top of threads with negative crap about a team that's 21-6 and leaves their heart on the court every night for brown and gold.

It's one thing to bitch about Schroyer's mess. It's another to bitch about Larry Shyatt and the guys on this team. If you haven't noticed the difference between the two, I'm not going to explain it to you.

Maybe you should listen to your mother: if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything.

Haha ok. I guess I didn't realize that criticizing the worst two game stretch I have ever seen from a cowboy team means I can't tell the difference between now and 5 years ago. Right. Frankly what we saw those two games was far worse than anything we saw under Schroyer. Get off your soap box. We're one bad loss away from a 3rd straight CBI invite. Shyatt wants the benefit of the doubt? Get us to a tournament that matters, and there's only one

The athletic budget comes from subsidies and internal fund raising. I pay taxes which the state then funnels into a subsidy to the university athletic department so I have that part covered and I am football and basketball season ticket holder. Last time I checked, season ticket sales and donations are both internal fund raising efforts by the university. Remind me again how fans don't pay his salary?

Larry Shyatt's post game comments bother people because he holds the spotlight on the people that are calling out his team. I think there's honor in that. He does it because he doesn't like to hear people insulting his players.

I agree with it. If you don't want your negativity spotlighted for all to see, than don't post it on a permanent message board where anyone can read it. Share it with your old grumpy neighbor that doesn't want kids to walk on his lawn.

You're obviously know more than Shyatt does about basketball. All you have to do is look back at the AFA game thread and read how Larry Shyatt doesn't run an "actual offense". If you want to be a message board expert, be man enough to stand up and take the kick back when you sling insults at him or his kids.

I think they should let Larry come to your job and leave notes around the office about how shitty you're doing, ways you can improve, and other anonomous insults for you and your co-workers to read.

So the only way to be a true fan is to blindly accept the results on the field/court and never voice your opinion of them? Isn't that the point of websites like this... For fans to voice their concerns? If I have the gall to comment on a game I'm an Internet warrior? Are you serious right now? During the Air Force game was there one single thing to praise? And don't act like those of us critical of shyatt and the Cowboys aren't the fist to drink the coolaid and rabidly pump sunshine. We're high on this team when they play good. When they don't were not. I was under the impression that was being a fan... Is there a fan on here who liked the way we played agains AF SDSU?

And hey in the real world, if I stunk up my office the way the Cowboys stunk up the court those games Shyatt wouldn't need to come rub it in because my boss and coworkers would beat him to it. It's called life.
