“Growing up, everybody told me, ‘You’re from Big Horn, such a small school... playing D1 football is a lot harder than you think.’ There were times I didn’t even know if it was a possibility,” Pelissier admitted.

“It seems logical to continue to play this game... That bronze boot, that tradition has value, and we shouldn’t throw that away due to egos.

I would wish they just make them a full member like they used to be in the wac

Notice who is NOT making the cut.. LMAO

Reading the AD's interview, looks like we're seeking "stability" instead of making the MWC as competitive as possible. We just now added another freeloader program to a conference of freeloaders. Another mouth to feed. Looking forward to UTEP winning the MWC in football in............or basketball in.......

We came within a whisker of being blown up entirely, we weathered the punches....and now we want to go back to being.....stable. So we're apparently looking at Harlequin...er, Tarleton State!

I have no answers, but wouldn't it be something if Gloria Nevarez had a sit down with the MWC AD's and did something radical, like propose each school meet an annual minimum of at least $65-70 million in spending on athletics, emphasizing football, as one component of a new, rebooting strategy to make us less poachable? Or propose they commit at least $20M to NIL?

That would be met with stone silence and likely a motion to have her fired, because the remaining schools in the room have combined for one MWC football ring in the past 10 years, and barely that in basketball, so shut up.

It seems nobody is intent on building the MWC and putting muscle on it--instead let's just hang on to it. Keeping things stable. A sure recipe for the vultures to return if there's anything left on the bone.

Burman said, "We are a unique entity, but we bring great value to the Mountain West Conference or any other conference out there. But you have to look a little deeper to find the value..." Anybody have a guess as to what he's talking about?

That's the flowery, platitude, avoiding specifics b.s.'ing . of the fans that ensures a .49 percent football and .48 percent hoops program over the last 10 years. The word value has been redefined...

UTEP vice president and director of athletics Jim Senter obviously talked with him...."I know the Miners will feel right at home with the other quality athletic programs in this great conference."

More value talk.....“I’m still excited about Wyoming football... We have a very good core, and we’re recruiting very well. Jay Sawvel is doing some extremely good things with this program. I think we’re going to be fine in football,” he said, adding that basketball and other Olympic sports are also seeing promising futures.

“There’s a lot of opportunity at the University of Wyoming,” Burman said.



One day--probably two years from now--Eli Wallach and 200 other banditos in college football will ride back for another raid, but there's no more Magnificent 7 to save us. Perhaps enough people will by then finally understand how "extremely good things" is actually defined in Laramie. In the meantime, we'll resume our seat at the hind teat, make room for UTEP, and hope UNLV, AFA and Nevada can keep us fed. Or maybe Tarleton St.

their success in securing $35 million in NIL funds.

That is significantly impressive

per Pete Thamel. Good pick up if they accept!!

Damn...

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Or in this case, get worse for the rest of us

Looks like Miners are a distinct possibility:

My Uncle Teense Willford.

No bigger Cowboy fan. He had our family season tickets that we have had since 1950.

Ragtime Cowboy Joe was sang by all at his services, and it was timed so the services ended early enough so that folks could get from Saratoga in time for the game in Laramie.

The Governor ordered the Wyoming flag flown at half mast on Saturday and about 500 folks attended his services. I am still heartbroken.

Please sing a verse of Cowboy Joe for my dear Uncle.

I have to admit that felt good to watch live. The family and I made from gillette and have to say this was the team we've been waiting for. Stadium atmosphere was awesome. Believe we saw multiple visits from recruits attending as well. Go pokes

So far good things happenings this Sunday 2 for 1 on the lottery tickets pokes won and the Broncos beat the jets
Now we need Josh to beat the Ravens and it will be a trifecta.

The best part of beating Air Force last night was watching Calhoun’s facial expressions and his constant whining and bitching and sending him home with a loss.

He is the worse……

WSU came in at 4-0 after a win over Washington.

Boise State's defense is impressive, but Jeanty is the real deal. He has over 200 yards rushing tonight against WSU.

It would be great to take Boise State out when they come to Laramie!

Great win Pokes,

Svoboda played well when team needed him to...

Sam Scott was a warrior....

Defense played with grit...

Onward and Upward...

Go Pokes.

Can we talk about the screen game? Is Svoboda late with throws, or is the blocking terrible? It’s atrocious and unfortunately a major part of this offense.

Defense has taken a lot of crap the last few weeks, and rightfully so, so let’s give some credit where due for the halftime adjusts he made tonight…..

nm

… In good times and the tough times!

God I hate AF!
Let’s send off the Pokes right today!

You know what to do!

Go Pokes!

Sold their souls to the devil for the PAC name. 😂
"All decisions involving Pac-12 Enterprises will require Oregon State and Washington State approval. Those schools also will hold approval power over decisions pertaining to future media deals and invitations to potential conference members."

Sounds like some shit Burman would agree to
