Wyoming Baseball

[jbeiermann]

I have done some research on old school UW baseball...Will UW ever get baseball back and a dome?
Would be sweet for something like that in the cold weather area. Would be a huge recruit advantage also!!

How many of you actually went to a game and saw any of these play as Pokes?

(not going to list all the MiLB guys but about 30, and first 7 are only 7 to play in MLB)

UW having d1 baseball would make me the happiest dude in the world.

Until they got curb stomped on a regular basis and our other sports suffered financially as a result.

Title IX. We'd need to have a women's sport with the same number of scholarships, or we'd have to cut mens scholarships elsewhere.

Supoosedly uw sos was one if the best every year and they made the cws. I think d1 baseball in wyoming would thrive with a dome!

I will lobby against the $60 million, or whatever, it would take to make you happy.

Instead, let's get out of the golf business, and into D-1 hockey.

See....your unrealistic fantasy is no good. My unrealistic fantasy is perfect.

Hockey would be sweet also. There was no attendance for baseball because all games were way west and when at home weather was laramie sorting weather!

Oh sorry, I didn't realize you saw the future that well, what's tomorrow's lottery numbers?

It's like someone predicting that Pumpkin futures are going to plummet after Halloween...is it a certainty? Technically no, but odds are it's gonna happen.

Could we be competitive occasionally? Sure, but I don't think we would ever be better than the occasional top half of the conference finish, and conference championships? Forget it.

Not predicting the future, just stating the painfully obvious...Wyoming is not, despite what people in the state think, a baseball state/school.

And this coming from someone that loves baseball.

If you built it, they will come

Baseball is still my favorite sport - that said - I'd love to see Wyoming play hockey and become a member of The National Collegiate Hockey Conference. Hire George Gwozdecky to lead the effort and build a powerhouse program.

If I had Boone T. Pickens or Phil Knight money, Wyo would have baseball, and hockey, and be well funded for both.

I wish they would bring baseball back, there is nothing in the spring and adding baseball would be awesome.

It's a lot more feasible to build a domed baseball stadium than it is to build a domed golf course. Alpine ski team makes sense too.
