Re: I will eat my shorts if we lose to Weber St

I'm hoping UW scores first. If Weber St. puts some points on the board first and anything negative on offense occurs (turnover, 3 and out), there will be an immediate feeling of "here we go again". If the Pokes score first, we win 27-10. If Weber St. scores first and we don't answer immed...

Re: Which former UW QB would be best for this offense?

Wyoming hasn't had a QB with Benjamin's athleticism in a long, long time, perhaps even never. I can't remember a particularly mobile QB in my lifetime.

Re: MWC Predictions (You call it)

BJ did take over for Alex Smith in 2005 I believe, but he was injured and out for the 2006 season, when I think Ratcliff then took over for 1 year before BJ came back.

Re: Benjamin's job to lose

Redshirt is only burned if he enters a game and is not determined until the end of the season, so I think they should stick it out with Benjamin and Sween this year. Only bring ACS if both Sween and Benjamin suffer season long injuries.

Re: QB "breaking" news

What are the rules in football for redshirting? Does it have to be done before the season starts? Can a player have so many minutes played, then redshirted, like in basketball? If he steps onto the field for one play he's burned his redshirt... you may be thinking of a medical redshirt where a play...

Re: Somethings fishy. Benjamin 6 turnovers, Sween 0.

Knowing a couple people, they have all told me that there is little confidence anymore in the locker room for Sween. Too many times he has been fragile in the spotlight and fell apart. This was before the start of fall camp, so maybe their opinions are changing now, but before fall camp, the guys I ...

Re: South bleachers

I liked them as well. I always thought they should build a more permanent seating structure in the south endzone... I would love to see a permanent seating structure in the south endzone, but until we have the year-in, year-out demand for more seats nothing is coming. Hopefully it will though, beca...

Very, very basic metal bleachers, like a high school game. I cant find a pic but if I do I'll post it. But they will only be about 10 yards away from the field, assuming they're set up the way they used to be.

Re: South bleachers

The knothole was great, I think they should leave those bleachers up permanently like they used to be. And they are probably closer to the field than any other end zone bleachers you UT fans have been in before, although I'm sure they're not the most comfortable ones in the world either.

Re: Long Term Expectations

I think we'd have to sell out the War for a good 6-7 years in a row to get anyone to believe we have a big enough demand for extra seats for the long term, and that could only happen if we got REALLY good within the next 3 years. I really would like to see a capacity of at least 40K though I believe...

The history of UW football is a positive one.. things haven't always been this bad, and they won't stay this bad for much longer. The team was real dominant in th...

Long Term Expectations

Hello all, I am new to the board, born and raised in Wyoming but currently going to grad school out in southern California. I am wondering what everyone's long term goals/expectations are for football at UW. I dont know that we will ever reach the level of year in year out competing for a MWC crown ...
