Re: 2014/2015 Recruiting Thread

Looks like we have offers out to at least 5 players with NDSU offers: OL Trenton Mooney, TE Ben Ellefson (who has verbaled to NDSU), RB Demaris Purifoy, LB Aaron Mercadel, and DB Kevin Jackson. Inevitable with this coaching staff. Most of these players do have other FBS offers as well.

Re: Last Night

Yea, that's a great idea about giving tickets to schools ... you'd think someone in UW athletics would be on that ... they could do more to promote UW bball.

Re: Last Night

Women anywhere and everywhere deal with this: "I've never felt unsafe leaving the AA after a game but that doesn't mean 2 girls who have to walk back to Campus Habitat or Bison Run or The Grove never felt unsafe." I've been to a number of different venues, and Wyoming's is safter than most...

Re: Last Night

I agree with YankPokes point about the students not in the lower court bleacher section not getting into the game. Too bad they have that wall separating the floor from above. If it were continuous, I do think it would promote more involvement amongst the students at the game. As to game day experie...

Re: Last Night

Also interesting is the fact that Shyatt is pushing a redshirt on Washington so he can work on his academics but the kid shows in uniform up last night ... some resistance on the part of Washington? Also, Shyatt says more minutes will be available next year ... I'm not so sure. I don't see us puttin...

Re: Last Night

Two things stand out about the pathetic crowds we've been getting. First, and most annoying, is the fact that the prime seats--lower level, middle of the court--have been consistently empty. There were many empty seats in those locations even when we put 9000 in for CU. I'm guessing, and it's a gues...

Re: Game Day : New Mexico St. @ Wyoming ....

so we actually turned the ball over on about 5-6 plays; take into account the fact that we also scored about 2-3 times countering the press, I don't think it was overall too bad. And I have to say that although sometimes I wonder about Grabau it was sure nice having the steady senior handle that pre...

Re: Game Day : New Mexico St. @ Wyoming ....

We definitely played subs less but they contributed to this win--we got good minutes from Herndon and Jason. And I don't think most teams can press as effectively as NMSU--and we actually, for the most part, handled it pretty well. I know I have my brown and gold glasses on, and I'd like to see a re...

Larry Nance

I've been a season ticket holder for men's bball for a while and have a number of favorite players: Davis, Bailey, Ewing. But Larry Nance is my all-time favorite player. An obvious talent but it's all the immeasureables that make him the ultimate teammate. In addition to being a great ambassador for...

Re: Advice for a visiting USU fan

I'd recommend heading into the historic area of downtown Laramie the night before the game, grab some food at Crowbar (sledgehammer pizza highly recommended), or Altitude, or Born in a Barn, grab some drinks afterwards at the Alibi or Front Street Tavern, stay around til 11pm or so and chat with Wyo...

Re: Florida Atlantic Predictions

I think our offense will be able to run the ball effectively, pass off the option effectively, and sustain drives. I am expecting 24-31 points on O. I think our D will stop the run; my only concern is the pass. Our cover guys are vulnerable to athletic, fast receivers. We need to bring pressure and ...

Eric, if your goal is to make it to the NBA, your best shot into developing into the best player you can be is right here in Laramie Wyoming playing for Papa Shy.

Re: Austin Conway interview with Mike Vorel,

Huge get for us. Think this kid could help us land some other talent--who wouldn't want to play with a smart, athletic point guard who has his head on his shoulders. With the 2014 class, and this start on on the 2015 class, feeling pretty optimistic: Shyatt with talent, that has got to have a few MW...

Burman is an able AD, with a passion for UW sports and an understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities afforded at UW. In short, he's in a tough situation--but at each decision moment, he has made calls that at the time looked pretty damn good. The didn't all work out. That's the reality...

Re: Who said "I think we would've beat them with or without

Nah, I agree, I don't want someone being such a homer that there is no perspective. And I agree Gags is true fan and a good writer. But sometimes, at least it seems to me, he leans more pessimistic than realistic. Empirically, that's of course true--although admittedly hard to blame Gags for not pro...

Who said "I think we would've beat them with or without Nanc

In the post-CSU game interview, Shyatt mentioned that he wouldn't mention names but to the CSU player? coach? who said they'd have beaten us with or without Nance, "well we beat you without Nance. That's a fact." Paraphrasing liberally here. But does anyone know who on the CSU side said th...
