All I saw was SlowHand relaying information. He had nothing to say about reasons or wasn't making any type of statement about it. Over the years SlowHand has been right much more than he has been wrong, he has shown hw usually knows what he is talking about.PotatoCreekPete wrote:Deluding yourself a great deal Slow Hand.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of our 6'4" quarterbacks

Hmmm, I didn't see it that way. I thought I was just relaying some info that had not yet broke to the general public. You are correct in the fact that I didn't dive into the reasons why they have left......just that they have left. How is that unlike every press release that says "Player X is no longer on the team?" I think I just saw one for Trent Sewell. Difference is mine was two days earlier.PotatoCreekPete wrote:Deluding yourself a great deal Slow Hand. I put no spin on anything.

I realize that there are many that are thriving in this system. I applaud them. I am sure there is an underlining meaning in here somewhere...........I just can't figure it out. True to a few on here though I am sure help is on its way.

"Ask Uce if he thinks it is hard." Your "so close" you don't even know the guys name! It is Uso..... you are more a source of humor than anything else! Deluding yourself in front of others while not even realizing that you are doing it is truly funny and thanks for the laugh at your expense.

Not a matter of callin' it, more a matter of need and common sense. With a dearth of bodies at both LB and TE, it seems to me a 6'-4" TE would be more desirable than a 6'-4" LB. I doubt it was a rash or impulsive decision. The kid is obviously a good athlete and, with a little seasonin', could be very productive.joshvanklomp wrote:Larawie called it. Austin Fort to TE.

If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.
Just a feeling I have. He wants a chance to compete for the QB spot and in Wyoming he has lost that opportunity.BeaverPoke wrote:Why?Slow Hand wrote:I bet he is gone in the fall!Larawie wrote:Not a matter of callin' it, more a matter of need and common sense.

Hope he likes D2 ball then...
How do you know he only wants to compete at the QB spot? Maybe he just wants to compete. His chances to get on the field earlier are much better now. He stays, takes the move to heart, works hard and gets some valuable playin' time. Sure, some of it will be mop-up, but a lot better than standin' around like a third (4th?) -wheel with his hat on backward carryin' a clipboard. There's my bet.

It is just a gut feeling on my part....but yeah what the hell I am interested. What are you thinking?Larawie wrote:How do you know he only wants to compete at the QB spot?

Seems to me with only 4 TE's, a number of multiple TE plays in the book, and a more mobile QB than last year, the kid will stay and play. Maybe not a lot-there's a learnin' curve-but he'll be visible. It is, imo, a GREAT opportunity. I mean, c'mon, you're a D-I player in your home state, with a nice ride, or a D-II kid takin' questionable $$ at Black Hills or SD School of Mines?Slow Hand wrote:It is just a gut feeling on my part....but yeah what the hell I am interested.

I am just going on a few of the comments he has made. He might be a little disgruntled and perhaps he will come around and decide to stay. His thought process is that he would transfer sit a year and compete for a spot at another school. IDK....it seems illogical to me as well. I think the move caught him off guard a little.
Probably not unlike Nzeocha bein' moved to LB. But if the kid's athletic enough, and there's no indication he isn't, then I think he'll embrace the opportunity. Obviously jmo, but I tend to zero in on position and personnel changes and how they work out. Hopefully for these two mentioned, they're positive. Lookin' forward to the Spring Game.Slow Hand wrote:I am just going on a few of the comments he has made. He might be a little disgruntled and perhaps he will come around and decide to stay.
