He's a pretty good journalist and I've enjoyed his coverage of the football team. He and Kevin Mckinney do some videos. He gets pretty good access to the team and I've enjoyed the stories he's written so far at gowyo.com. Looks like he might have stopped the Pokescast podcast and started One Wyoming podcast. I enjoyed his podcasts and he does a pretty good job getting them out regularly.

Probably not uncommon for small Market teams but WYO media is largely a regurgitation of athletic department talking points. Very little unbiased, hard hitting reporting which greatly helps accountability. One of the many things that facilitates mediocrity.

Totally. Linder would be feeling major heat from the media in most markets.

Or perhaps inquire why some may perceive that only some demographics get promoted with seemingly unilateral decisions.

I think there are obvious differences but also realize I'm on an island on this one. Maybe I'm wrong but we have differences in opinion. I think something stinks and everyone else thinks everything is awesome. We've hashed and rehashed so I'll leave it at that

Anybody think everything is awesome?...Anybody?

The answer is no. The hiring of Sawvel and the promotion of Aaron Bohl to DC always made me wonder if it was a package deal negotiated by Coach Bohl before he retired. Whether it was smart or not will depend on how well the team performs. I have to admit I like Sawvel so far but just because he has a good personality does not mean he was a good or the best choice.

Yeah.. good luck to Jay and all but there are right two groups of fans in regards to his hiring. thinking everything is fantastic is not an opinion held by anybody. Fans either hate it right now or they will come to hate it when the program declines over the next few years. In the event Wyoming actually gets better, both groups will love it.

You haven't accurately defined anyone's feelings toward this. I'm surprised you're still trying.
