Re: This is not sustainable...

We did not let BYU, Utah or TCU go, too funny. There is not a damn thing we could have done to stop a move to a p5 even giving them the entire TV package. Nebraska moved for academic prestige as did CU. Big 12 teams make more money then CU does now from Big 12 versus PAC TV deals They are not makin...

I agree BUT it was done to keep Boise in the MW cos without them, bye-bye MW!
Without that deal we would be making less then we are now from TV to be sure.

Re: This is not sustainable...

While I don't necessarily agree with how the numbers were presented in that article, it is worth noting that Boise was averaging 645k viewers per game vs our 643k viewers per game. We have a really large / and a very quiet fan base out there. I don't know why our administration doesn't try to sell ...

in a 30 -40 million dollar athletic budget $800,000 is not a huge difference.

Re: How many scholarships available?

Given the small senior class I suspect we are pretty close to the 85 total we are allowed and a full 25 class might just get us there. just a thought based on additions and departures. Haven't seen any real numbers We signed 45 in the last two years (not including late transfers) and with 25 this ye...

Re: Rice, UTEP being mentioned as MWC discusses expansion

The "off season" for Wyoming football fans, appears to officially be here. Hawaii was a way worse addition than SJSU IMO. I hate playing that game, may as well play on the moon. I'm going to disagree with you. Hawaii not only makes a great away trip! Which is a great excuse for a vacation...

Re: Sounds like...

I was looked at to play college baseball before I blew out my shoulder. When that door closed you know what I d...

Re: Conference expansion

Does anyone know if the playoff money is divided among G5 based on team number or just divided among the conferences with no regard for the number of teams? (obviously the conference that represents in the NY6 gets more money). If it just gets divided no matter the number of teams, it might be bett...

Re: The argument to end the drop to FCS argument

The only people I've ever had a discussion with concerning Wyoming dropping to FCS are mostly originally from Montana or South Dakota, which makes me think that it's part of a jealousy thing. They hate that our poor little state is playing against the big boys and even experiencing a few bowl games...

Re: This makes me sick...

Nope, I didn't write it, but I don't have to tell you I agree with it 100%. It's long overdue we move down to where we can compete. I know you all disagree. I have facts on my side. You have history and hope. So, keep thumping your chests about how good the football program was in the 60s, 70s and ...

With Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas in the tank I don't think

the saudais think the US is flooding the world with oil. We are the ones who have greatly increased producttion while they remained flat for production. us has flooded its own natural gas market which in turn crushed coal prices.

small time to only play teams in your region. ole miss and virginia came to laramie to play in a new region and get their name out there. plus there are east coast wyo fans who rarely if ever get a chance to see the pokes. this is a good opponent and a good judge of where we are. it will be great t...

Re: Wyoming football: An early look at Appalachian State

I don't mind App State the opponent, but I bet Bohl would rather not deal with these mid-season road games across the country. Did it last year with UH, and now App State. At NDSU, Bohl and the Bison were the Florida of the FCS: they rarely travel long distances to play anyone. Everything is within...
