  1. There's a reason why they give out free Budweiser in Laramie. It's because no one will buy one and have the rest of the Wyoming fans watch them carry a Budweiser.
  2. I found some information on what they might do with the old dorms... http://www.uwbrandingiron.com/2022/02/10/uw-plans-to-demolish-dorms-and-renovate-several-buildings/#:~:text=University of Wyoming Master Plan,and the Washakie Dining Center.
  3. I found a link that has some more photos of the new dorm project. https://www.jedunn.com/projects/university-of-wyoming-student-housing/
  4. I don't know. That's a great question. The 2 new dorms are being built on 15th, in the student union east parking lot and the lot next to it. I'm not sure if they're going to knock the old ones down, continue to use some of them or repurpose them for something else. I want to say the new swimming pool is going to be located over by where the dorms are currently at.
  5. My wife has a sister that I would love to move to Fresno. She's kind of roundish, shes not a doctor, and she has an odor that matches her whiney personality, but she's the nicest girl you'll ever meet. ;)
  6. Agreed. They don't need to be luxurious. They do need to be more than one room with bunk beds in it and a disgusting public shower room at the end of the hall. The plan for the new dorms has communal living spaces, shared kitchens, private rooms, and a shower situation that isn't out of a bad prison movie. They don't need to be the Taj Majal, but they do need to be better than what we currently have on campus, especially with the requirement that all freshmen live in dorms. That bunk bed experience is about as 1950 as it gets.
  7. My wife or my daughter, because my daughter is 5 and either way: we don't need anyone to mow our lawn or pick up our trash. We already have someone for that.
  8. That's what it's going to look like and the other one they're going to build is just as nice. While my wife was getting her pharmacy degree at UW, I was actually involved in the part of the building process for the dorms(destroying old buildings), re-routing main power for the campus. It's not going to change. They'll just sell more bonds if they have to. When I went on a recruiting trip to Laradise in the early 90's, I didn't want to live in those old dorms either. I joined the Navy instead and ended up in barracks exactly like the dorms in Laramie. The dorms are way overdue. At least my daughter will get to enjoy the fruits of our labor for the last 30 years.
  9. Agreed. This is likely the most necessary and transformative facility that we've built since the facilities campaign started. Kids today don't want to live in WW2 army barracks, which is what all the dorms on campus today are. They want living space, kitchens..... If you're going to require all freshmen to live in the dorms for the first year, you better have nice dorms. We don't. I think the dorms have a chance to significantly improve enrollment. They're going to look great as well.
  10. They're raising funds for 2 projects at the same time. They're building a brand new regulation swimming pool as well as renovating the west side of the War.
  11. As predictable as a Boise grad driving a truck, the lead skinhead has arrived to make up lies about what somebody said about Mathew Sheppard: the male prostitute that owed over 5000 dollars in meth debt when he was murdered by meth dealers. I'm out.
  12. Don't get jealous that Wyoming has spent 1.5 billion on facilities since 2002. It's the main reason why Wyoming is getting better while Boise is starting to play like a junior college focused on truck driving. Here's a look at the new dorms since your intellectually superior roll model from back in the day has moved on(Cowboy Junky?). After dropping 1.3 billion in cash since 2002 on facilities and having zero debt to show for it, you'll understand that 300 million in dorms is getting paid for with bonds. This should be good news for Boise fans, because someone is going to have to drive all the building materials to our campus, likely on an 18 wheeler.
  13. Maybe Wyoming's A.D. knows what year it was built but also knows that SJSU isn't going to be involved with the MWC + Pac 2. It could be they leaked the future of SJSU athletics into the west side renovation to invigorate the fan base and increase donations.
  14. Do you skinheads still lace up the Doc Martins with red shoe laces to go stomp out some minorities or is that too obvious now? Back woods cultist.
