A stadium that holds 35k and MIGHT get 10k on a good day. Those rendering are hilarious. The only time that place will ever be remotely close to that full is when the play us in the Fort.LanderPoke wrote:It's comical that they think a new stadium that holds 35k will get them into a P5 conference. Most P5 stadiums hold 50k+.
Actually, Burman should look to CSU as an example of how to lead a project. They are scaling some areas back in order to add a feature and still stay within budget.ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote:I thought Burman was th only one who had to change plans after they're agreed upon due to budget concerns...
I dislike CSU as much as the next person, but I can't knock their initiative here....con and Mortenson are expected to enter into construction contracts with the same "guaranteed maximum price"

How have they surpassed us? Have they put a shovel in the ground yet? I don't see that...

No matter how you slice it, CSU has surpassed us athletically. I think Schroyer (forgot to add a here as a knock to Burman) I mean Shyatt and Bohl can remedy that on a smaller budget....at least I hope so.
Before Burman started, we actually had a bigger budget than them. Their athletic budget now surpasses ours. Their on field success has been better as has bball. I think Shy will turn this around with time, but so far, CSU has surpassed us.ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote:How have they surpassed us? Have they put a shovel in the ground yet? I don't see that...

It costs more to go to school at CSU. Part of the reason for the larger budget. They have beat us two years in a row in football after losing 4 straight. We swept them in men's basketball....so how are they better here?ragtimejoe1 wrote:Before Burman started, we actually had a bigger budget than them. Their athletic budget now surpasses ours.

Burman has been here for about 10 years. In that time, and records only, whose athletic success would you rather have: CSU's or WYO's?JimmyDimes wrote: Our facilities are much better....much better. Just don't see how they have surpassed us.
Go Pokes!!
To answer your question, I would rather be in Brown and Gold shoes than sheep shoes all day every day. They have had 2 years of decent football in the last decade (which is going to end this year) and we have made them our bitch in basketball the last couple years. Again, how have they surpassed us?ragtimejoe1 wrote:Burman has been here for about 10 years.

I would swap them records and budgets but nothing else. If our bball continues the upward trajectory, then we catch them because of the excellent job done by coach Shy. I believe Bohl will be successful, but hands down, they've surpassed us in football so far. In somewhat recent history, we've only equaled or surpassed 10 wins 3 times: 96, 88, 87. They did it just last year (also in 94,97, 00, 02).ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote:To answer your question, I would rather be in Brown and Gold shoes than sheep shoes all day every day.

You really think anyone would rather play in their gymnasium over our arena? You think anyone would rather play in their poop stadium than ours? Our training facilities are superior to theirs too. I fail to see how were lagging behind CSU...
Tough call, as we both have done our share of sucking since the formation of the MWC. I care not to look it up, but how many MWC championships does each school have? I would guess the Lammies would have the edge, but maybe only because of Sonny and the VB program they have built. Of course, those are still MWC championships though.ragtimejoe1 wrote:I would swap them records and budgets but nothing else.

I hate the sheep, but, IMO, their on field performance has been better lately. However, during years when both teams sucked, we didn't suck as bad as they did.
