Not me.

I'm in my prime.

Nobody said you were retired...

Did I miss something?

Tombstone.

Doc Holliday.

From the script.

When was the last time Alabama switched up their color scheme? USC? LSU? Texas? Oklahoma? They don't have problems getting players to come with their old-school uniforms.

Once you start tinkering with uniforms, its obvious your program is desperate. Gotta change things up so we can get better. Ask Christiansen how the uniform changes worked out for him during his time in Laramie.

Desperate? Someone should tell Oregon, Okie Lite, Baylor, Mich. State, Boise State, heck even Michigan has been changing it up.

I don't think desperate is the word. I think the phrase is "you don't have the football tradition that USC, TX, Bama, etc." have.

I will guarantee that game day attendance and atmosphere would be better for a winning team in pink uniforms than a losing team in "traditional" uniforms.

You're such a great fan Doc.
When was it that you decided to be a Cowboy fan again? 2 years ago? Or was it a whole 3?

I see you would like to engage me again in a duel?

I shall pass on the opportunity my good man.

However, for clarification purposes again, my fandom of Cowboys Football began to percolate back in the year of 2002, sir.

This will be the final time I shall address thee in regard to this specific issue.

See you in the press box this upcoming season.

I'm sorry...no you won't.

This thread was making its way along so swimmingly well...until, well, you can read the thread to see where it turned crooked.

I refuse to indulge my good men, I just refuse.

I simply will not do it.

Don't ask me again.

Now do you see what youth can go and do every now and again?

I forgive the boy, I ask you to forgive him as well.

By the way, that is a hellacious natural rack, if I may say so myself?

did we keep the contract with Nike or are we back to New Balance? I think it's good to go back to the uni's of the late 80s and early 90's when we mattered as a football team....I'm ok with it as long as we get to alter the helmet on occassion as well. Brown and Gold all the way!!!!! we still have the best logo on the helmet in the country hands down!!! put the stripe back down the middle on the helmet!!!!

Tue Apr 08, 2014 9:01 am

please let us be Nike.......they make the best gear and the kids like it.

Tue Apr 08, 2014 9:15 am

Everyone is donning Nike in the videos.

Tue Apr 08, 2014 9:39 am

Switching from Nike would be a terrible move. They, Under Armour, and Adidas are the premier equipment providers in the country. If you're not with one of them it screams small time program.

I don't think it would scream small time program as much as cheap ass program.
I am pretty sure there are non-BCS D1 teams, FCS, D2, Juco, and even high school teams with Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas.

But, yeah if we went back to New Balance, something bad would be happening.

Like I said, know who you are. Oregon has Nike in their backyard, so thats how they are staying true to who they are. Last I checked, there is no Nike headquarters around Laramie.

Have you ever been to Laramie? And if you haven't that's fine. I hope you're able to make it to some games, experience how great Laramie and Wyoming fans can be and at least be a Cowboy fan for awhile... maybe Bohl will even right the ship and you'll be swayed from being a Craig Bohl fan to a University of Wyoming fan.

This really did make me laugh, thanks for that. Good stuff. I keep rereading it and cracking up.

I think that's the first time I have ever been called a "Wyominian".

No I haven't been to Laramie. And while I originally came here because Bohl took the job, I'm already starting to see myself as more than just a Bohl fan.

And sorry, I misspoke on accident, calling the locals Wyominians. Will I ever hear the end of it?

Tue Apr 08, 2014 11:50 am

I don't think it was a dig. No one besides Oregon gets that level of involvement from Nike , same with Maryland and Under Armour. Traditionalist, ultra conservative people generally yes. Clean cut less so, but what he's saying is embrace tradition and be old school like the population generally wants which is what Bohl is doing.

Nope. Just like WYO1016 will never be able to live down that despite being a big Cowboys fan, and depsite getting it painted this summer, his little camper/motor home is sheep colored.

And like how I'll never be able to live down my name being considered profanity on NCAA Football 2013...
