Re: What could have been

Saw where a kid (grew up in Iowa) went to Alabama, was offered $100k to transfer to Iowa, took the money and transferred back to Bama. This whole thing is out of control Beating a dead horse here, but these NIL collectives and the people donating to them are enabling this insanity. I'd love to see ...

Re: How to End NIL?

I don't think the "athletes as employee" model does us any favors either. All that will do is allow the big budgeted guys to pay more directly to athletes .... will have the same effect as NIL does currently. I think having some group consisting of the NCAA, Conferences and congress enforc...

You beat this Fresneck team 10 times out of 10. They are garbage.

Re: Coach Sawvel benches 305

Who knows what will happen in the next 5+ years....but for the non BSU MWC teams...I would say that if you squint real hard, it's been somewhat competitively level. If the theory is that the only thing that matters is program investment...then nobody in the MWC is on Boise's level. @Oredigger, I lo...

Re: Coach Sawvel benches 305

Rivals has a database of that information going back about 20 years. I don’t recall Wyoming ever being recognized with a recruiting class that was in the top half of the conference. Since we can't elevate, perhaps we'll be fortunate enough on the next round of realignment to be placed with peers in...

Re: Coach Sawvel benches 305

With our NIL payments, we have zero chance of signing the ‘best recruiting class.’ Wyoming will have to rely on the Craig Bohl development model. I’d argue high school recruiting rankings have become relatively meaningless with the portal though. Keeping your good players is probably more important...

Re: Fresno - twice in a row

This is my fear. ... If we show up and don't play terrible, we will beat them easily again. ..... I don't think this years basketball team can take that if for granted.....I've seen some head scratchers at the conference tournament. I Remember the 2017 team starting a tournament game down 25 to 0.

Re: Linder got tossed.

Spot on. Rice is the worst. For those of you who went to the game Saturday, hopefully you watched as I did, when Leon started working the refs on the very first Donkie call. That guy is a master at MWC ref manipulation. He was even "warned" to chill on several occasions but never got the ...

Re: Craig Bohl's Legacy

I have never put much stock in comparing coaches at UW. So I try not to do it. I do put a lot of stock in an individual coach's record. As the old adage says, you are what your record says you are. Bohl has a career 61-60 record. He was and always will be a mediocre coach to me. Great coaches win c...

Re: What do you guys think of Burman?

I am not one who has strong feelings about Burman but I've examined that lately. It seems like most people view him as mediocre with a small contingent that think he's bad and an even smaller contingent that view him positively. One of the criticisms of him is the fact that Wyoming's athletic progra...
