Re: WE SUCK

Well, I was wrong again. Not only did we not compete, but the 2 players that I thought would come up big played awful, Ewing and Ogirri. I'm a Brandon Ewing fan. But he has been downright pitiful in all of our road conference games this year. Tyson Johnson made chip shots look like 1/2 court shots i...

Whoops!

Well, I haven't watched byu much this year. Just a little here and there. I'm just getting my hopes up. I hate losing to them more than anyone else, even csu. Buckhole, it will be interesting to see what the line is. I would be interested to know which way you go.

Can we compete in provo?

I think so. But plaisted must be held under control. Let Waddell foul out but we have to get physical with him. I don't think this byu team is as good as advertised. Ewing and Ogirri should go wild against their guards. This is our chance to move into the upper tier.

Re: Next up - the mighty birds of Air Force

Well, I thought the defense really picked it up in the second half. Again, nothing from Waddell tonight. I think it's time to give Diakite a look and maybe start Thiam. If we get anything out of the 5 spot, we could be dangerous.

Re: Next up - the mighty birds of Air Force

Buckhole,

I laid the points as well. I also laid the 8 vs. csu and barely got a win. But this game should be very easy. I've seen air force and this is the worst air force team in many years. This is where Schroyer has to at least coach up to the other guy. On paper, this is a blowout.

Re: Pokes struggle with Ram

I was very disappointed with our defensive intensity. We didn't contest 3 pointers and we let Carr drive the lane anytime he wanted. Ewing had one of his worst games, imo. He shot horribly, dribbled around too much and got burned on defense several times in the second half. Also, nothing out of the ...

McPeachy, with all due respect....

As one who bets against the spread, I would expect Wyo. to be a double digit underdog at SDSU. That is not a tossup. The 3 games at home you have as tossups: UNLV, Utah,and NM, we will probably be small underdogs in everyone of those games. I don't believe we will win all 3 and we might even lose 2 ...

Yep, we snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory

better than anyone. Totally agree with you AG. That is not a very good TCU team. Its sad how far we've fallen. We have lost to TCU 3 straight and 4 of the last 5. We look destined to finish in the bottom of the league with CSU and Air force. I feel we have talent but we sure can't put it together fo...

I was at the game.....

I too was impressed with how this team has progressed. If this team had Justin Williams, it would be a sweet sixteen contender. With Ogirri, Afam, and Ewing, we have the best back court since Straight, Richardson, and Bailey. Johnson can play in the post with nearly anyone. However, we lost that gam...

Re: Can this team keep from being sub .500 in MWC play?

crappy teams make crappy fans. Not one single win against a decent team. If they beat SDS next week, I might start to believe. There's still a bitter taste in my mouth after having to play in the play in game last year and losing to an 0-16 team. If that makes me a crappy fan, fine.

Re: Can this team keep from being sub .500 in MWC play?

Well, I can be pretty negative. However, Let's see how they play after this long break. We still have the best point guard in the conference. Also, we have some shooters. I think at home, we might shoot some teams out of the gym. However, we need to rebound better. Waddell needs to stay in the game....

Re: I couldn't delete that abomination from my DVR fast enough

We didn't lose by 20, or even 30. That's a 50 pointer. It reminds me of when Joby took us into Cincinati and we lost 51-101. Bottom line: this guy can't coach or recruit. We don't have 1 guy in the 3,4, or 5 position who can rebound or play defense. Interior passing is nonexistant. No boxing out and...

Re: Three Possible Interviews Done?

I would be disappointed if they hired Gilmore. Nebraska is a shell of its former self. They have not had a winning tradition in many years. I don't see what he brings to the table. I hope TB interviews Gary Barnett. He has had major success at Northwestern and CU. Look at CU since he left. Hawkins t...

I like Barnett also. He performed a miracle at Northwestern before coming to CU. Neuheusal recruits a female kicker for publicity and Barnett gets stuck with her. Well, Barnett said a few things he shouldn't have but he was stuck with a situation that no college football coach should have to deal wi...

Re: Time to clean house and that includes the DC

Stutzreim is a redshirt freshman. If he leaves, he will have to sit out another year. IMO, we will not miss him. Maybe he can follow Joe back to Northern Colorado. We need a proven assistant at the D1 level imo. No more lower division coaches. If UW can spend 35 million to improve the stadium, then ...

Time to clean house and that includes the DC

Two years in a row and 3 out of 4 where CSU has killed us with long pass plays. I have nothing against Breske but I don't think he should be considered for the HC. Whoever the new coach is, he has to perform a recruiting miracle. We have to get a D1 caliber qb in here. Stutzreim missed so many open ...

I'm not one to defend Joe's coaching, but someone explain to me why he should be recruiting. How can he look a recruit in the eye and and tell him he's going to be the coach next year. I mean, who's going to come to Wyo. without meeting the coach or coaches who he's going to play for? I think CSU we...

Great post! When asked who the better coach was, himself or Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer replied, "When I had the better players, I was the better coach. When Jimmy had the better players, he was the better coach". No coach could win with this group. I think a different coach might get a l...
