If only it had something about how Sanders is gone and how he feels about Raymond, so we get his current perspective

^i completely agree. that seems really stupid that at this high of a level, you're making the practice and drills up as you go along. There are ways to make practice fun but be highly productive and efficient.

Because it's not raised independently, it's raised and officially given to UNO athletics, but used specifically for wrestling. I don't have any desire to go looking for the documents because that would just be a waste of my time, seeing as how it won't change or effect the situation in anyway. They can't just ignore the costs since they were funded in a different way, which is why it's on the cost of operation sheet. If you have the desire go ahead and look for a fundraising report and let us know what is says

From an initial interview with Coach Denney. Here I guess it comes down to who you trust and believe. I've known Sensei Denney since I was 8 and I know the kind of person he is. Granted, I haven't known Trev most of my life, but he seems to be dealing with this situation in a less than truthful manner. I do find it amusing that you're using The Gateway for as a source of info. Do you really think the a student paper would be allowed to print something contrary to what the admins are telling us? I find it amusing that you call Mike Denney "Sensei." Alright, well if you don't believe UNO's student paper to be a credible source of information, then how about the University of Nebraska's General Operating Budget for 2009-2010? GOB pdf If you look on page 393, UNO wrestling's total budget for '09-'10 was $217,248... Maybe Denney-san just misread where the comma went. Yes you're correct that's what they spend. what you don't understand is that the wrestling team provides the money for all but 21,000 of that through fundraising. It doesn't matter if their operating cost was $5,000,000 because the school only provides $21,000 from it's beginning of the year budget then team makes the rest of it through fundraising. You've just shown a sheet showing how much they raise which is around 190k. the school still has to report that money on the costs even if the team off sets it.

I have a class taught by coach Denney, and no the wrestling budget is $21,000 which is actually $1000 less than when he arrived in 1978. They fund raise all of their budget basically. Nebraska wrestling actually runs on about $400,000 a year. So the team would basically have double their fundraising and they would be fine giving them a budget of about 250-300,000.

UNO should just cut their losses, keep wrestling stay D2 still cut football because it's a money drain. But invest the money from football into the on-campus hockey arena. Play to your strengths, UNO will never be a profitable athletic program at ANY level, there's just no support or desire to see UNO flourish by the community, that's fine, nobody's forced to like multiple teams. But nurture the success you have and allow yourself to build on it instead of trying to emulate other programs. UNO is known as a wrestling and hockey school, and you just dropped half of your national exposure, Good luck

It's crazy a lot of the time i forget that he came here as a RB and is still pretty new to CB. That just says even more about his intelligence and athleticism to be a top 2 player at a position he's only been doing for a few years. Sky's the limit with him

That's what I'm always telling my wife! That sucks if you're always having to tell her. haha jk

On the other hand, if a prior coach did something and that prior coach was an abject failure, perhaps his techniques should be viewed with some degree of skepticism. I appreciate the benefit of having someone in the box, but does it have to be our OC/QB coach? Can't we put, say, Fisher in the box and have him call down to Beck? I can think of several OCs (or HCs with play-calling responsibilities) who are not in the box. Lane Kiffin comes to mind. Chip Kelly as well. Chris Ault. And I believe Gus Malzahn also hangs out on the sideline. Point being, one can call plays from the sideline without too much trouble. And for the OCs who are in the booth, do those teams have a separate QB coach or co-OC who can provide face-to-face coaching with the QB on the sideline? While i'd say the problems on offense last year have much less to do with him being in the box, than it had to do with his ability to adjust and teach the system. That's like saying "look watson wore white shoes last year and our offense sucked so this year Beck better only wear black shoes." Get over it, Beck will do what he feels will get the best results, and if there is some sort of lacking, i'm sure he'd be willing to make the necessary adjustments to get it fixed
