The visions and branding has increased ten-fold since we switched back to brown and gold. Advertisement in the state of Wyoming is abysmal period - they are on par with every other school in the MWC in regards to ads. What do you want? Thank God he's worrying about the budget more than better newspaper and radio ads otherwise they'd be contemplating giving up football to cover deficits like Hawaii. Get real here people. If he gets the $4M from the gov - Wyo is in a diff ballgame.
You are right; he probably is good enough for Wyoming.

Now that it is established that Burman is great for WYO, riddle me this:

Take any member of the primate species and place them in the WYO AD job and tell me how much worse we could possibly be in revenue sports relative to Burman's track record????

Does this mean the MW officially plans to count close losses as wins too?

:lol: I would imagine so. I also think we will fight to have "difficulty in recruiting" included in the formula to decide who gets to go to the playoff. It is okay if you lose as long as it is hard to recruit to your school.

One more fun fact on the topic:

Men's bball attendance in 2005 was just over 7K and we ranked about 70-73 nationally. After nearly 8 years of Burman, attendance has dropped to just over 5K and we rank about 99th nationally.

Football is a little better because attendance has declined from 20K to 19K, so not too big of drop there.

Definitely symptoms of a thriving athletic department.

Check attendance around the country, down in every revenue sport after nearly years of AD ________. Nothing new here. :coffee:

When using 2005 as the benchmark it is. Both football and basketball were struggling. Any marginal improvement in the programs would reflect increased attendance.

At the end of 8 years or so, it went the other way.

So it is acceptable to lose 30 spots in average attendance? Talk about an apologist.

Too bad the MWC doesn't hand out participation ribbons!

For a state full of "cowboy tough" people, there sure seems to be a large majority willing to witness steam rise from poop as long as there is a bucking horse (in the right colors) emblazoned somewhere on it.

That's due to his hiring of Heath (different subject). Attendance has gone up w Larry.. You think people don't come to cold football games or would rather watch a hoops game on CBS Sports because Tom's the AD? That's your logic. Record ticket revenue in his tenure.. Not an apologist, just helping you crawl through the poop your minds are filled with.

If numbers are down everywhere that is okay for us to drop in tickets.
If we drop 30 spots, that is not okay.
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

Good ole boy committee on target again. Just like the hold hostage agreement w/ DC going into the Temple game. Get your clocks cleaned, poop in your mess kit strategy 101. I do like Shyatt and Bohl, however trending back to the end of Tiller and Rat Face we have done absolutely nothing to improve our performance in an ever weakening conference, and that is across the board. I guess the face of the program is women's soccer which actually had a shot at winning a conference crown, only losing that coach to the dope smokers just south and west of Cowboy country. That is the success Mr. TB has accomplished, nada. The empty trophy case photo goes a long way towards establishing Tommy boys legacy. I have nothing more to add. Pisses me off. :thumbdown:

I notice you didn't take the challenge. We are near bottom in everything in the MWC during Burman's tenure. How could it have been much worse? The Vegas bowl win prior to his arrival trumps any accomplishment during his time.

Wyo has not advanced in any meaningful way in 8 years and has actualky regressed in most. That is fact.

Here is my new mantra:

"He hired Bohl. All will be better. He hired Bohl. All will be better. He hired Bohl. All will be better."

Remind me of this when we win 5 games this year... :tickedoff:

Exactly, tired of excuses for the current administration. Always trying to poop us when the failures are so obvious.
