BCS and Utah

I know Utah is dead to us, but you have to appreciate their President standing by the fact that the BCS is not fair. Prolly doesn't hurt that Sen. Hatch is still their Senator... Other than the quote from the President, this article fairly clearly lays out the difference between the haves and the ha...

Re: Defense was crap

My dad and the other sitting around us were going nuts...and I think you are right, it was Anderson. He probably could have stopped him at the 6 yard line, at least, if only by pushing him out of bounds, as he was right along the sideline. I imagine this play will be one of those that are discussed ...

Re: Defense was crap

WILDCATS - I give great credit to WSU, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. I think that offense could score on most FBS teams. They were balanced and very disciplined. The offensive pace was great and we looked off kilter all night. I, frankly, think that WSU makes a little better showin...

Defense was crap

Any offense that produces 35 points is pulling its weight. I loved the up-tempo pace (but really, what good is it if the opposition's defense can rest while our swiss cheese defense allows what we saw last night). Sure, it would have been nice to have more, but frankly, you shouldn't need more than ...

Re: MW stitched onto the field

THAT LOOKS AWFUL...and yes, I am yelling. Wrong color green around it, matched with purple and grey next to brown and gold...yuck.

If we win, all will be forgiven.

Re: So I was in Fort Collins today...

Oh, I don't disagree. My inlaws are excited to come as are some friends of ours from Lincoln...it is just those that cast the air of indifference and/or loathing toward having to come to lowly Wyoming for a game that drive me nuts. I knew they were arrogant - given their history, they sort of can be...

So I was in Fort Collins today...

And what did my wonderful ears behold...my four year old telling me how much he "hates the stinky sheep." As we passed CSU's campus driving up College - every time he saw their logo, he repeated it. As we passed a girl in the grocery store with a CSU t-shirt, he repeated it. 'Tis good to b...

Re: UW still has golf teams?

As I was driving to work the other day, I heard Settle mention the last place finish of the men's team and thought the same thing. Is it a membership requirement for the MWC that we have a certain number of varsity teams? Is it a requirement of the NCAA for D1 status (or whatever they call it now)? ...

Shyatt may do ok...but he sure as hell doesn't excite me. I won't be buying season tickets as a result of him being hired. What is wrong with going outside of the UW comfort zone? Can we only handle retreads? Where is the new blood? Maybe the first choices said "no," if so, I guess Larry i...

Re: Public Records Request

Having been the subject of a records request or two, I would suggest that while there might be some clerical staff that can help print off the emails, texts, etc. - the actual holder (maker/receiver) of the record has to do at least some of the initial work to find the information - as the clerical ...

Re: Public Records Request

Don't be surprised to get a denial...based on the personnel exemption to the Public Records law. On the other hand, they might send you what they have, which is probably not much - especially after the Bill Ayers saga. My guess is that little to no email or other correspondence is being sent around.

Re: Sports by Brooks, via Wyonation

He has been wrong every time and claims credibility from the fact that he purports to be the one who "broke" the news on Heath's firing. Turns out, there were quite a few folks that knew of that news well ahead of Brooksie. If you read his blog, he seems to be half hack artist and half &qu...

Re: I wish we would hear something on the coaching search

I say that I am not worried yet because it is still early. People are reading a lot into the mid-season firing of Schroyer and suggesting we should have had someone signed, sealed and delivered by now. Certainly, if we were going to hire BCG or Kent, that would have been possible. With nearly every ...

I wish we would hear something on the coaching search

With the other coaching openings across the country, I am not concerned yet...but am getting there. I fear that Miller from Arizona might go to NC State, meaning that Arizona is open again. They very well could go after Dunlap. I don't see Taylor coming here...he either stays at ODU or goes someplac...

Re: Ernie Kent????

My concern is that Kent is not an X's and O's guy - granted, most of my info comes from message boards, but it was also hinted at in the press following the surprise extension he received and leading up to and following his firing from Oregon. Count me as one of those that is flat sick and tired of ...
