McManamen on the short list for state player of the year

I said go cry on gowyogo because you said "you fucks are clueless". As I said I like Wadell, a lot. No doubt was he a big part of our team, but if we want to get even better, make the sweet16, elite8, final4, etc, etc, we need to be better. We need to be more consistent. We can not beat #11 UNLV then lose to Air Force. Wadell was great when he was on, but when he wasn't he was just, kind of there.

Adam Waddell is exactly what Wyoming needs more of. We need guys who will bleed brown and gold and do everything they can to help the team succeed. He has played injured most of his career, but you don't hear him bitch about it or make excuses. He comes out and plays hard with a smile on his face.

You fucks that are knocking him are completely off base....and completely clueless. Who cares what his stats were, he brought something else to this team...HEART.

man didn't mean to start stuff, but i agree Heart is wonderful and was glad he gave that, I love the fact that we went 21-12 this year, I was truly worried this program was going nowhere and fast. Heart is a great thing but it's something you can't teach it's just there, and yes I'd love for 5 "heart" guys to step out on the floor every game year in and year out, with Coach Shyatt he'll get the most outta what he has and that's what has me most optimistic. We'll be fine, we all know that, when was the last time in years have we talked about our BBall program this late in the off season??? been awhile!!!
My original post on here was only saying that Wyoming (the state) basketball was down from previous years, there truly wasn't a dominant team nor big man and I feel that McMannamen can step in and help out. but it takes 5 and a coach that wants to be there and we're getting there!!!

Also Wyoexpat... If you like or dislike Caliparri or Huggins they are still much better than what we were this past season. Not trying to start another argument but if heart was all that mattered in sports then hell Waddell and ChrisPro would both be first round draft picks. It just doesn't work that way.
Nance has plenty of heart and loves being in brown and gold. Also has more skill than Waddell. Just cuz the kid is from our state doesnt mean he is the type of playedr we need. We need more Larry Nance's IMO

You will not get any arguement from me on either of these points.

As for the Huggins and Calipari issue, my problem with them is that I do not think that their teams represent their respective schools well. They may win, but Barry Switzer's teams won at Oklahoma and diminished the image of the University as an academic institution in my mind. It is subjective, but I still do not think the most serious schools let those kinds of athletic programs continue unsupervised.

I still have a hard time accepting the idea that the University of Miami is actually a good college for normal students to attend. On the other hand, I have no trouble with that idea when it comes to Duke.
