Re: "No single person invented the jump shot"

Technically, that is true. However, as has been stated by people such as Bobby Knight and Jud Heathcote what Kenny Sailors did was different from others at the time - and HIS was the prototypical modern jump shot. So, while no single person invented the jump shot, Sailors' version of the jump shot w...

Re: Shyatt Leaving

Maddog told me point blank that Shyatt was exhausted and left on his own accord. He also said he thought Shyatt was going to do this last year after the NCAAs but stayed on. Nothing seems nefarious to me.

Re: Fire Bohl

I think that there will be times in the coming years when we all are yelling "goddammit" in the 4th quarter during games. This style seems to be what the coaches want as well.

Re: Fire Bohl

So what do you suggest on the FG drive? It was methodical, it burned up clock, and it was effective. However, the fact that our kicker is lucky to hit somewhere behind the goal posts to either side means that it was a negative. Sure, the game went conservative. In part that is exactly what the coach...

Re: Fire Bohl

Did you watch the post game at all? Even reading between the lines Coffman seemed to imtimate that losing Gentry was big.

I mean this with all respect, and not Talledega Nights-wise, but do you think this did not have an impact on the play calling after this?

Just stop feeding the troll A troll says something like "Wyoming relied on their passing game, you idiot" rather than trying to argue something. I saw what I saw and I am arguing that. If you will note, I have been here (though not posting) for a while. Jesus, trying to run off newer post...

Wait what?

I am sure the later 4th quarter was the whole 2nd half to you, but up until Gentry was injured I did see passing...

Oh, I know, you saw the last couple of drives and base the entire 2nd half off of that, right?

Re: Fire Bohl

Yes it's silly. It had nothing to do with crunch time and trust. Vigen wanted to run the clock out and chose to run three plays then punt and rely on the defense. They could have continued passing just like they had been all game. Gentry didn't even have a reception until late in the second quarter...

Re: Fire Bohl

Lol all they had was the run? Maulhardt and Hollister must be chopped liver. I think Maulhardt had more yards than gentry. Claiming all we had left was the run went gentry went out is silly. Silly? It is about who is trusted in crunch time. It is obvious that other than Maulhardt (and to a lesser e...

Re: Fire Bohl

Jesus, Wyoming kept them honest with the pass until Gentry went out...and then the team was left with only the run...and people bitch. It would be nice to be able to trust the freshmen WR in this situation, but I for one am glad that the team was built on a strength and was able to hold on. The inju...

Re: Time to raise tuition

No. There is a Constitutional mandate to keep tuition as near free as possible, and it absolutely should stay in place. In fact, tuition should probably be lowered to comply. Indeed. Way back when I was one of Phil Robert's GA's and I remember him talking about this in his Wyoming History class. A ...

Hell, I turn 50 in four months and I don't think it is bad. Plus it reminded me to hate CSU. No song like that can be bad.

It is better than auto-tuned sugar pop.

Re: Curious: how'd you earn your WYO fan card?

I don't post here much, but here is my spiel. Came to Wyoming with my family when I was 9. Next year was the Fiesta Bowl - a ten year old was hooked. At 12 the family moved to Gillete and the migration to Laramie at 18 was natural for me. 1984-85, 85-86 lived in McIntyre Hall 2nd floor with some of ...

Re: Pokes and Chokes: Saluting the Military

O line didn't allow a sack. Backs picked up the blitzes perfectly except one play the back got caught looking and Kolby was hit after the throw. Now the Oline cant block 9 on the run every down successfully so you gotta throw consistantly which was the problem until the final drive. That being said...

Re: Pokes and Chokes: Saluting the Military

That's Defense for you. A team surprises you with something you don't expect, it takes a few drives to figures it out and change your D gameplan. WYO did great, I thought in that regard. After the initial couple of drives WYO did far better on the defense. However, up until the final drive there wa...

Re: Too many "body bag" games?

Is scheduling two "body bag" games in one season, one too many? To me playing either Oregon or Michigan State in one year would be OK, but BOTH? This is nuts. Look, let's be real here. The potential for big blowouts of the Pokes are great in each game. I'm sick and tired of seeing the boy...
