WT Football

[WT_TKW]

So with all these AMAZING "who cares sports" accomplishments, why is football such a sh!t show?

I say the admin doesn't like football.

Maybe they caught a wedgie or got poled in high school by the football team's waterboy?? But, whatever it is, football is not important to them.

And you can uptalk every other sport you wish, BUT you and I know that football is god in Texas. What other sport has a "Friday Night Lights" in Texas? NONE!

If a university wins a football Natty, every other sport could be last place and nobody cares.

Exactly. Does NW Missouri have a great softball team? I don't know or care. How about Pittsburg State's basketball team? I don't know or care. How about Ferris' soccer team? I don't know or care, but I do know those schools traditionally have excellent football teams.

We used to as well.

Forgot to mention Cross Country

The men’s race will feature nine-time defending champion West Texas A&M as the Buffs hope to become just the second men’s program in conference history to win 10 consecutive titles. WT ranked 27th nationally, is led by returning all-conference runners Innocent Murwanashyaka, Jay Hall, and Gustavo Posada. The Buffs have one team win in 2022, opening the season with a victory at the Big Country Festival.

Eastern New Mexico (2011, 2012) and Texas A&M-Kingsville (1984, 1986) are the other teams with LSC men’s cross-country titles.

WT’s Murwanashyaka enters the meet in the pursuit of a second straight individual championship after besting the field in 2021 with a time of 25:16.51. The senior was the third Buff to claim top honors in the past five seasons.

The men’s event also features three other returning all-conference runners, including DBU’s Jeb Williamson, Oklahoma Christian’s Colten Brown, and St. Edward’s Dylan Sequeira.

On the women’s side, DBU looks for a third consecutive title after claiming last year’s championship by a narrow three-point margin over WT. The Patriots, currently ranked No. 8 in NCAA Division II, are led by five returning all-conference performers Madison Brown, Rylee Cristan, KayCee Keller, Jenna Thorman, and Marissa Insinna. DBU has won a pair of meets in 2022, including the Orville Rogers Cross Country Open and the DBU Old Glory Gallop.

The Lady Buffs also head into the championships nationally ranked, landing at No. 26 in the most recent poll. WT is looking for its first conference title on the women’s side since 2013 and is aided by returning all-conference performers Eleonora Curtabbi, Betty Bajika, and reigning individual champion Florance Uwajeneza.

Looks like to me the AD knows what he's doing.

At WT? Women's (fill in the blank).

Everywhere else, FOOTBALL.

Oh, yeah that's it. The one WT has sucked at for 9 seasons.

...with sports you evidently don't care about. I don't care about basketball either, but I do follow softball.

Pops, what's that sport that's #1? Is it track and field, soccer, or ...?

how are the other WT teams doing? haven't kept up.

They open the season against #1 N. West Missouri
WBB - #1 LSC preseason, and #6 in the nation.
They open the season against #4 Fort Hays

I have been to a few men's practices. This will be a typical Tom Brown team. Good shooters and a very strong team defense.
We will be 8-9 players deep. Expectations are high for a deep run.

I have been to several women's practices and attended a preseason game against the University of New Mexico in ABQU. (lost by 8)
This team is much improved over last year's team that went to the Elite Eight. Wt is 10 deep and 12 players will see extended playing time.
We have a roster of 16. We return 4 of last year's starters plus the starting 2 guard that had a season-ending knee injury one week before
the season started. The team will play tough man-to-man defense. Expectations are very high.

Have been to one fall Soft Ball game against a Juco. The softball appears to be improved, pitching will be better.
A few of the returning players are in new positions. One of the incoming freshmen is the South Dakota payer of the year. She is the real deal.

You can see them all play on the LSC network. Worth your time and money.

Wendler sure has some snazzy hair!!!

Is it a prerequisite for WTAMU presidents to have the "Charles Stanley" hair style??

No. Pat was somewhere between Hughes and McBroom.

This picture comes from a forum on Facebook. While I don't agree with the term "stooge" I don't think these guys are very popular with the majority of fans and/or alumni. I would like to see them all go, and give WT a fresh start. The new admin can hire a junior recruiter to visit Quitaque, Booker, Claude, etc., hopefully to recruit students. The better recruiters can try to make Amarillo students, including some good athletes, not laugh at the thought of going to WT,

I would be surprised if Hughes had a job lined up, unless it's a coordinator job, and let's face it our defense has been pretty spotty this year.

We'll see. It won't be long.

[ASUPops]

Since the General and I attended ASU at the same time, I guess I can say that.

Well, you are HARDLY an old fart!

[WT_TKW]

Here's a list of growing universities. It's no surprise WT is not on it, but a familiar name is.
