MWC football: Mizzou coordinator Christensen takes Wyoming job

This could be your guy to rescue you from the lower half of the MWC.

It doesn't matter if Pete Carrol or Urban Meyer took Wyoming's job, you can't win there. Laramie is the absolute worst place to play in america. They won't get players there...the top players will still prefer Utah, Boise, BYU, Oregon St etc.

Actually the worst place to play in America is Logan. Laramie looks like USC in comparison.

I sure hope he is able to bring back the old glory days of Tiller and so forth. It's been a long time since we have been consistantly strong. He's got my support.

Sounds like you've spent time in Laramie. You might have been there 2 years ago when your Utes got spanked.

Dude is leaving a BCS conference AND going to Wyoming?? What did he do to deserve such a punishment? Must be super desperate to get a head coaching job.

I've been to Laramie several times. Can anyone explain how Wyo has a stronger football program than SDSU?

Good luck to Coach Christensen; I hope he at least visited Laramie to see what he's getting into.

Laramie is like Wendover without the casinos; there's absolutely nothing there. It's amazing that any coach can get players to come there to play.

I can't imagine what a player like Tramaine Brown, from Anaheim, CA, thinks when he first steps off the bus after his 90-minute trip from Denver, the closest airport.

Wyoming should've put their only university in Cheyenne (at least it's a city) or Jackson (the only town in Wyoming that people actually travel from out of state to visit.

I'm not exactly sure why Christensen wants to come to Laramie, but this is got to be the absolute best thing to happen to Wyoming Football in my life time. Coach Christensen is the top assistant coach in the nation and has one of the best, if not the best, offenses around.

W-Y-O!!!!!!

Hopefully the pokes can get back in the thick of things in the MWC. This is a great hire!

You pessimists.

Laramie is not the worst place. Ever been to a game in Los Crusces, NM? UUUGGGHHHH!

Here is a top 10 list of good things about Laramie:

10. Student cheers with 4 letter words in them
9. Fennis Dembo
8. 7,220 feet!
7. Loyal fans. Trust me, their fans are loyal because they have to travel to get to the game.
6. The Osmonds did a Stadium of Fire there once. So there!
5. On game days, Laramie IS a city. In fact, it becomes one of the largest in the state!
4. Pass
3. Snow (some players actually like that)
2. Pass
1. It's not Provo, SLC, Ogden, or Logan.

Even in a thread about Wyoming someone can slip in a shot at Utah State... Amazing!!!

You must be kidding. I am no Aggie fan but Laramie > Logan? Have you spent your time in Laramie locked in a windowless room? Laramie is only better than maybe Rawlins. A complete hole. USU might not have great football but living in Logan is light years ahead of living in Laramie

... "stepping stone"? Christensen's coming to Laramie for precisely as long as it takes to give the 'Pokes a couple of 8-4 or 9-3 years. When better offers come rolling in, he'll be out of UW faster than you can say "REAL coaching geniuses don't STAY in Laramie." OK, maybe out a little FASTER.

Not surprised Christensen or anyone else didn't take the SDSU job. After the way Chuck Long got jerked around, good luck to ANYONE who gets hoodwinked into THAT job. The Aztecs don't need a new coach. They need a whole new administration.

Remember that coach who's wife left him because he took the job at Wyoming (it was the guy before Vic Koening)?
Man, I miss Vic Koening. I still remember his promise of bringing in amazing talent, the day he was hired.
I miss Cowboy Joe too. That guy was the best 1-8 coach in America.
If moving the Laramie splits up a marriage, you know thats a nice place.
Logan >>>> Laramie by a large margin.
As for the win two years ago, nice. Let's combine the scores from the last 10 Utah-Wyoming games. It's about 1000 for Utah to 32 for Wyoming.

Source of Truth can't even fill a top-ten list; number 4 and number 2 were passes. Maybe the tone was supposed to be sarcastic. I hope so. Having cheers that include four-letter words is not impressive or respectable. What about children who attend the games and hear that? Do you seriously want to have children learning such stuff?

Who wouldn�t want to be a coach of the MWC, for a stepping stone? Thanks to the weak PAC10/WAC and good performances by TCU/BYU/UTAH we look like a pretty appealing conference.

Good luck to him at Wyoming. It would be nice to see Wyoming in contention for a title again. The year Wyoming went down to the wire with BYU in the WAC Championship was epic! Hope to see games like that again with the Pokes or Wyoming! Good luck coach!

I was hoping that Ludwig would get the job.

Having been to Both Laramie & Logan, the better place is Logan.... only because Aggie Ice Cream is phenomenal.
