WSU’s Dickert headed to WakeForest! What happened to coaching in the powerful Pac2 conference, hmmm!

The viewership #’s for the two FCS semifinal games were pretty impressive. Games were moved to ESPN and not ESPN2 as they were last year.
Maybe if the group of 5 have a playoff they could be pretty relevant to the networks.
Numbers were about 1.5 million.

I'm not sure if any of you have seen this. We all know it was happening. It's good to see college coaches speaking out about it.

Up Next

Wyoming will close out non-conference play on Sunday with a trip to Cal State Fullerton for a 3 p.m. MT start. ESPN+.

Could the Bills get some kind of a resemblance of a god dam defense. For Christ sakes Mahones would of maybe won half these Bills games if he was there starter. Josh had a defense he might of won at least 1 or 2 Super Bowls. You put Josh on the Chiefs team they’d be kicking some major ass this year.

.

I’m rooting for Unlv tuff task though at the the blue ocean.

What a joke program we are.

No Mickey's open in the Arena until conference play (sending the message that only those games matter).

Maybe a third or half of the concessions stands closed at every game so far.

Men's season ticket seats moved to accommodate a women's game earlier in the year.

And now we don't even send our hometown radio crew, which is how many of us grew up following Cowboy basketball, to away games.

And people wonder what role the AD has in casual fans not caring about basketball?

Taking into account the sport, UW funding, other funding, coaching, conference competition, national competition, recruiting ability, facilities, etc., what UW athletic team is continually the most disappointing? Let's rank the 3 main men's teams: football, basketball, and wrestling and the 3 main women's teams: basketball, volleyball, and soccer. This season alone we've been subjected to a 3-9 football season, a 4-6-9 (2-3-6 in conference) soccer team, volleyball at 17-13 (7-11 conference), a rebuilding men's basketball team, a 4-5 women's basketball team with the MW preseason player of the year, and a 2-2 (0-2 conference) wrestling team.

My ranking from most to least disappointing

1. Women's basketball - this program should be much better than where it is. Still living off that WNIT championship that was 17 years ago
2. Football - what haven't we said
3. Men's basketball - years of neglect by the AD; if men's basketball was a child, CPS would have been called.
4. Wrestling - a paper tiger
5. Volleyball - this program can't seem to get out of its own way. I remember when I was at UW, Mike English has this program rolling
6. Soccer - not a sport that has strong high school teams or support across the state or campus. Soccer is still a niche sport

For lots of reasons, it's time to flood the UW Athletics Department with the request to retire jersey number 17.

Just do it.

Go Pokes

As expected with the recent dismal performance, Wyoming is mo longer ranked as a team and the top wrestlers dropped.
