This will be snarky, and I'm sure some of you will jump on my case, but my four football seaon tickets have been in my family since 1974, and I think I have the right to complain. We've paid Bohl millions over seven seasons for 38 wins, and the Ticket Office can't afford to send us tickets. What else can I say?

Agree...similar to the basketball tickets thread in the basketball forum - this very topic was discussed. I would gladly pay extra to have a ticket book personally. The athletic budget is tough this year, so I get it, but I don't like it either.

It's like this for football,too? lame
Montana is all digital ticketing now.
I didn't say that Craig Bohl was responsible for the decision to not mail out season tickets. I am saying that we flushed a bunch of cash to pay an arrogant coach for a losing program, and everything else gets the leftovers. But, then again, we're just a bunch of Little League coaches who don't know squat. Seven seasons and Bohl's record is 38 and 44. Is that worth millions?
I dont think its an either/or. If we let go of Craig Bohl and hired a cheap coach, it wouldn't effect the ticket policy.
It might be cost saving from Covid or an attempt to limit exposure.
That arrogant coach made us enough money to afford to print tickets. In fact, he put more asses in the seats at War Memorial than Devaney, Roach, Tiller, Dye, or Eaton did. He set the average attendance record in 2019.
He might be arrogant but he's right. There are a lot of little league coaches on this board. I would bet 98 percent of this board never coached a day of football, yet most of them have advice for a guy with 3 national championship rings on his night stand.
The reason why you can't get printed tickets has nothing to do with Craig Bohl though. This thread tries to make it seem like its his fault.

Craig Bohl got the AD to find a new pizza sponsor. I think he's got some say in things.

Actually, I think most people were just dogging the offense and how completely dysfunctional it is. Most people were pointing to Vigen saying that bottom 10-20 in CFB for offense 6 out 7 years is not acceptable. Bohl took it overboard and blamed fans for being little league coaches.
Ironically, in Bohl's closing press conferences the last 2 seasons, he pretty much regurgitates what all the "little league coaches" were saying.
Vigen and the offense were/are (until proven otherwise) terrible and it don't take an NFL coach to see that. It does, however, take an NFL coach to fix the QB mechanics Vigen failed to develop.

I can't say that I blame him for being loyal to his assistants. Yeah, he probably stuck by Vigen too long. Still, it worked out in the end. Vigen got a head coaching opportunity and we got a new offensive coordinator. We also shifted the blame from Vigen squarely onto Craig Bohl. The next bad decision will fall on him. I think that's how he wanted it. He shouldered the responsibility for his poor offensive coordinator and was willing to take the risk of getting fired to help out his friend and return the loyalty that Vigen showed Bohl over the years. I think that kind of character is admirable. Did he handle the press and the Wyoming boosters as well as he should have? Probably not. It would have been easier just to say he was being loyal until Vigen found a good way out of Laramie then to insult the fan base by calling us little league coaches. I can't really say I blame him for that either. If I was the head coach and heard/read some of the comments from the message board coaches, and was constantly getting asked about it by the media I probably would have told people to fuck off and shut up: fire me if you want.
Bohl probably has earned a little leeway by getting us in our first conference championship game in history, and by giving us the best shot at a title that we've had since Paul Roach was the coach. He's earned a little leeway by maximizing our football budget by setting the single season attendance record.
We will see though. I wouldn't say he's on a hot seat, but it's definitely getting warmer. If he has another disappointing year this year he's probably gone.

Anything less than 8 wins will be disappointing to this fan, considering our OOC schedule, and how the MWC schedule is looking / shaping up. That said, he isn't in jeopardy of losing his position at UW this year...unless...he doesn't win a game. Or MAYBE has a similar repeat of the 2015 season when UW won the state of Nevada. Even then, I think he will be here for at least 3 more years - and will be afforded that time frame to win the MWC.
McPeachy said:
I think 8 wins is about right. I expect more with our cream puff ooc and our home conference schedule. We shouldn't lose in Laramie this year. With the returning production(2nd in the country) and a new oc I think a lot of Wyoming fans expect us to be in the hunt for the title. I know I do. If we have a 7-5 or worse season, or some bad losses that knock us out of the race early his seat is going to get hot.

I like Bohl; don't get me wrong. The POKES are a competent offense away from being pretty dang solid year in and year out.
The little league coach thing was off base for several reasons but mainly because the offense was putrid and he was calling out loyal fans for acknowledging how horrible the offense was. The fans were in the right. If he didn't like the questions, FIX THE OFFENSE.
I like him, but he was wrong on that.
ragtimejoe1 said:
Agreed. He shouldn't have insulted the boosters when it was obvious that Vigen was a big problem. He probably should have just been honest and told us he was being loyal to him until he found a good way to get him out of Laramie. Actually, that probably would have been a worse thing for him to say.

Little League Coach (or no coach at all): Hurls repetitive, disrespectful insults towards people he doesn't know.
*gets called a Little League coach by someone he doesn't know*
Little League Coach: How dare you insult me like that!?!?
If you're gonna give it, you're gonna have to learn to take it, whether you're right or not. Energy attracts like energy.
