I say every coach needs five years, that fifth year guarantees that all the players on the team are that coaches recruits.
Give Dave time if he sticks around and he gets decent recruits we could have a decent team in a couple of years.
But I may still rip coach a new one on Poke Pride as he made some real stupid calls Saturday
against the Lobos.
I agree. But I'm afraid DC is headed towards the Joe Glenn path if doesn't fire Marty English and Arroyo. He needs to come to the realization these guys are not going to produce a championship. They aren't D-I quality.
My friends, you don't want to question my dedication and commitment as a fan of UW. But, since you did, here you go. I've been going to Cowboy games since I was three. When i was old enough to go to Laramie on my own I was at every football game, most, but not all basketball games and occasionally took in a women's basketball game and or wrestling match. Heck, I even went to volleyball games. Shoot, since Wendling played for them (and if you never caught it before, I played with Wendling in HS at Rock Springs) I got to go and hang out with the football team, even go and workout with the football team. I was right next to the camera when they took that video of Wendling jumping the 66" hurdle. At the age of 16 i was driving to road games from Rock Springs. SLC, Provo, Ft Collins, Colo sprgs, even Lawrence KS a few years back (01 I believe, too bad we lost). Since I've lived in Kansas, I haven't had the privilege to go to every home game. Reasons? One: I don't make that much money (farming) Two: I'm usually working (baling/coaching football) Three: Family expenses (Did I mention not making much money?). But guess where I am every saturday afternoon? Since we don't have The MTN I'm on the computer watching espn's gamecast or UW's gametracker, and then i'm back to work. My wife would tell you the same thing in a pretty annoyed voice, because I block her and the kid out to watch. Why? Because that is "My Time." That's the time where it's just me and my Cowboys! And , uhh, just so you know when we lose, I'm not one that goes postal, and starts cussing at the tv or computer or even radio. And I don't throw things. I don't take it out on my family either, as I've seen a few drunk "So called UW fans" do. I simply hang my head in disappointment, just like I do when my boys don't execute their plays right and we lose a winnable game. (Haven't done that much. 9-1 this year! Yeah!!!)
Now, when i finally get to go to the game, nothing has stopped me. Virginia in Laramie. I worked from 2 am to 11 pm all day friday, only to get home grab my wife and my bags and head through the night 10 hours to Laramie, where I stayed up all morning, went to the game, yelled loudly at the game. Stood all game long (where I had countless people telling me to sit! What the hell is that?!) So I felt obliged to speak my mind and tell them that since i had not slept since thursday night and drove all night to come to the game, that I wasn't about to sit! With the renewed energy I felt after a great Cowboy win, I was still wired enough to go out that night with friends and family and party till 2 am sunday morning. I then went to the hotel slept from about 3am to 6 am, got up, packed, and my wife and i were on the road 10 hours to home.
Virginia, UNM and UNLV I attended in 07. Ohio, Bowling Green and Utah in 08. UNLV, UNM in 09 and this year, SUU, Boise and AFA.All of them, hardly any sleep. Always rushing from work to get to the game, and then rushing right back to get to work. I'm a proud member of CJC and have been donating since I started (granted, I'm not wealthy...So, no. It's not a lot) The only reason I'm not a ticket holder is because my farming doesn't allow me to have every game off.
But do I represent where I live! Friday, my Cowboy football car window flag goes up, it doesn't come down till Monday.(Every week, doesn't matter if the Cowboys have a bye or not) Every Saturday me and my family are out and about in our Wyoming jersey's (Game day color's baby!) We even have a pic of all three of us out in our uni's.
Call it what you wish, but I think I can call myself a true Cowboy fan. Can you live up to that? I'm not asking anyone here to be like me. I'm just telling all the complainers to step off!
