These idiots that say NDSU has better facilities than UW

[JohnnySunshine]

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.

He did leave for a BCS school. Every FBS school is in the BCS.

He left for the MW. It's a ho hum football conference at the BCS level. Yes, I know it's much better than FCS. But it doesn't compare to the Powers. Bohl turned down talks with Minnestoa, and Kansas the first time. Fanbase just thought he was looking for something a little more appealing. Ain't no disrespect.

There's a perception that Wyoming will kill him as a coach as it has with every other one there since Tiller, and people don't want to see that. They think he's just walked into a lose lose situation for money.

I hope he turns Wyoming around next year.

Seems like the college football world is mis informed about the quality of our facilities and the upgrades that are continuing to be made. Should we just start posting a photo album?

Just start winning consistently, and people won't question as much. The facility argument is something that comes into play when teams don't win. Bohl is here to help.

Regards to what? Before 4 or 5 years ago, the BCS conferences were basically the Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, ACC, SEC, and Big East. That's where Bisonation thought Bohl would end up. That's all. He's at Wyoming. I'm excited to see what he can do with Wyoming.

My guess is that if they were better Wyoming would be in better shape than what it is. Just a rhought. But yes NDSU has amazing facilities. Thats probably why they've had so much success over the past 3 years. Not sure what was going on there in 2009, but they've made up for it.

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.

Bumpy seasons, and in our case bumpy eras happen to lots of bigger programs, look at Colorado and where their program has gone. It's the nature of the business and Wyoming has made some bad choices with head coaches over the past 12 or so years. Christensen looked like a great hire on paper but not all coordinators turn into great head coaches. Wyoming has the fan passion and money to compete with the likes of Boise State and other great mid majors.

We have the facilities in place but our expenditure in other areas (recruiting budget, assistant coach salaries, etc.) is lagging. They got improved in the deal with Bohl but it still isn't enough. That and a couple of poor hires will do it.

Every FBS conference has been a part of the BCS since the dissolution of the Bowl Alliance. The MWC came close to not signing last contract, but capitulated eleventh hour. You misspoke.

do yourselves a favor and ban lakes already, you won't miss him. Hayduke too, he's only here to troll NDSU folks.

when people say that NDSU has better facilities than UW you shouldn't take it as disparaging. NDSU is pretty well equipped.

BCS is a colloquialism used to identify teams whose conference champion automatically qualifies for a BCS game, so it's usage was correct. The BCS itself came up with a more PC definition a few years ago which is not in common usage.

You shouldn't be so quick.

UW is my grad school.

If you don't believe me, I really don't care.

No it wasn't correct. BCS is the series of games played in the post season. AQ and non-AQ are the colloquialisms used to denote automatic qualifying and non-automatic qualifying conferences and teams to the Bowl Championship Series. It's not my fault dude came on here using English wrong (i.e., not knowing what he was talking about). Also, I've looked through NDSU's facilities galleries online, and I don't see how they're better than UW's. That's all just opinion and conjecture until we find someone who's been through both extensively. You may have a better weight room or whatever, but top to bottom, basketball arena alone tops anything you have, and that's before its renovated. Your gym looks worse than Littleton High School's, let alone Northern Colorado's or Air Force's. Your track is a dump, ours is newly renovated. Where's your new indoor tennis facility? Where's your new indoor golf training center? Where are the luxury suites in your arena football hut?

 

[WYCowboy]

I don't know much about NDSU's facilities, but Christensen made the comment coming from Missouri that Wyoming's facilities were better than Missouri's and was a big factor in him coming here (which I wish had not happened).

Here is a tour of Wyoming's facilities but some of these have even been upgraded since two years ago when this was made.

[Dread_Pirate_Cowboy]

I watched NDSU's and Wyomings. Wow! I didn't even know Wyoming's facilities were that nice and I've been in those buildings. Sorry NoDak's, but not really any comparison.

The Fargo Dome is interesting though. Looks like a great facility but also kinda small and packed in (probably why its so loud too). Bet its a lot of fun on game day. Campbell County in northeast Wyoming has something like that in the works for high school but I think there's will only hold 15k instead of 19k.

 

[WYOBISONMAN]

I don't think there is much of an argument that overall WYO has better facilities. While the Fargodome is a great venue and incredibly loud, it is a huge limiter in the Bison looking to move up. Because of the way it is constructed it is not feasible to enlarge it.

Agree. The Fargodome is a great FCS venue; a little too small for the next level. It will be very interesting to see how D1 football shakes out the next couple years.

I don't see how they can stay FBS though

They go to the Sunbelt next season.
