Cowduck said:I've seen it several places - NDSU message boards, other schools' message boards, in the press. And it's all in the context of the "WYOMING ISN'T A BETTER JOB THAN NDSU" nonsense. It's ridiculous. If there's anything we've done right at Wyoming over the last decade its dramatically improve this aspect of the athletic program.

I think when it comes right down to it, NDSU fans think Wyoming is a place where coaches go to die. I think moreso they would have thought, myself included, that if Bohl left he would have left for a BCS school.
People are coming around though and starting to understand, the fanbase is just crushed that we lost our best head coach.
The thing with Bohl (at least at NDSU), and hopefully you will soon see, Bisonnation just didn't lose the best coach they have ever had, they lost a coach that has significant integrity and loyalty to his players, and the players would take a bullet for him.
Fanbase just grieving. In the end they don't know anything about Wyoming and just throwing out baseless and terrible opinions.

Compare our facilities to anyone in the MWC. War Memorial's capacity notwithstanding I think you'll find that they stack up very favorably. We were told five years ago that Christensen could win at Wyoming in large part because of the facilities.
The hilarious thing is that the IPF might end up not particularly useful except as a recruiting tool. As I understand it Bohl held the majority of his practices outdoors at Fargo despite having the Fargodome available to toughen his guys up.
"Yes, prospective recruit, that is an indoor practice facility that measures up to just about any in the country. You will rarely set foot in it because practicing in that environment doesn't put hair on your chest. Practicing in 20 degree weather with a couple of inches of snow on the ground does. But we have it as a luxury item."
Yes, I've heard they practice outside. With the size of Wyoming's program you'd think that they wouldn't have bumpy seasons. I'm not cutting on UW's program I'm just kinda baffled at what is going on and has been going on there.Cowduck said:NLGrizFan said:My guess is that if they were better Wyoming would be in better shape than what it is.

NLGrizFan said:I see. Well if thats the case I really hope Montana keeps declining the invites to move up. Its kinda nice being on top or in the running every single season. Plus I don't understand how the bowl system works.
