I hope Dave Christensen, the newly hired coach is ready for tough schedule his first year out.

 

I hope he can get things turned around. I know WU was looking at Ted Gilmore, the recievers coach from Nebraska. Was glad when Wyoming didn't take him, but I think they made a better choice anyway.

 

Anybody care to share what they know about Christensen? All I know is that he was the offensive coordinator for Mizzou...

 

Afternoon Scott. Well, I don't know too much, but after watching them play all season, their offense looks pretty damn good, so maybe that's a good sign! Couldn't tell you what kind of recruiter he is though.

 

If we can end up with an offense that is half as good as Mizzou's with a defense that doesn't have to play three quarters of the game I think we could easily be a top twenty five team. When you have an offense that has 3500 yards all season and averages 12.7 points per game it makes it hard for a good defense look bad. The -22 turnover margin has got to be the first issue addressed.

 

I agree w/ you Miles... I can understand why the coordinator for Mizzou's offense would be a hot candidate. Our offense has flat out sucked the last coupla years. Hopefully he can make a difference in that regard. I just hope he doesn't screw up the defense while he's at it. I am a huge fan of defensive football and I have been proud of how well Wyoming has played in that regard.

Will be fun to watch!

 

I also agree with you Scott. A really good defense is fun to watch. That is why I enjoy watching USC play so much.

 

I see Nebraska announced that they'll be playing in Laramie in 2011, then Wyoming will come to Lincoln the following two seasons.

 

Sorry but this one just doesn't sound right

 

Hehe... good one Dave!

'Pokes in Lincoln! Cool... I look forward to those games!

 

Hey you Cowboy fans, do any of you go to the spring game there? I'm assuming they have a spring game, right??

 

Pat, they do have a spring game on April 25th. I have never gone but this year might be the year to attend.
Did a little searching and found this:

I go to Nebraska's every year. For the last four or five years, they've actually had 60-70,000 people at the game, this year, they say they'll sell it out, 85,000 people for a spring game!

I miss the days of ony have 25-30,000 show up, you could sit wherever you wanted, and it was easy to get in and out. But, this way it's more like a real game!

 

Pat, I really hope there is some excitement around Laramie this spring. A new big time, proven coach should stir some things up in Laramie. I think I might head over on the 25th see what we look like.

 

Yeah, might as well Miles, since that's the only football you'll be seeing til August!
