Wyoming vs CBU Report

Wyoming vs CBU Report

After the NDI duals Wyoming had to turn around and head out to Riverside, CA to face an up and coming Cal Baptist (CBU) team. I really thought Wyoming had a shot at shutting out them out but we saw some inconstancies and guys unable to close out matches. Wyoming would pull away late with a 28-12 victory with murders row (84-HWT) scoring 16 points all in the first period. The Good Sefton Douglass continues to wrestle well; he gave up a takedown on his own shot but immediately turned into Cooper Shore and secure the pin. His confidence must be growing. Luke Willochel made his debut at 133 against a ranked wrestler. He was up 15-3 but just kind of stopped and escaped with a 17-13 win. It was his debut so a good experience for Luke...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 11

Pokes in the Pros: Week 11

From the desk of the UW AD Frank Crum didn’t play much Sunday for Denver. But the 12 snaps in which he did participate, he made his impact felt. The former University of Wyoming offensive lineman blocked an extra point in the second half of a game versus Kansas City. It changed the complexion of a contest that the Broncos ended up winning, 22-19, to take commanding control of the division. The Laramie native has seen more and more snaps over the past few weeks. Sunday was Crum’s fifth game since being activated, and all have been Bronco wins. In total this season, Crum has played 47 snaps, 34 on special teams and 13 on offense for 9-2 Denver. The Broncos are idle in Week 12. Below is a list of all the former University of Wyoming...

Wrestling Round-Up National Duals

Wrestling Round-Up National Duals

What a way to kick-off the season with facing off against two Top 10 teams at National Duals in Tulsa. Ohio State ended up winning the tournament and was the first team Wyoming faced; the boys wrestled well in some matches but in other matches they wrestled tight. Sefton Douglass gave McCrone everything he could handle at 125 and thought he was going to win that match. Eddie Neitenbach was robbed of a SV opportunity (I will discuss it a little later). Virginia Tech was the next dual. Wyoming had an opportunity to win this dual but needed a MD, or greater victory from Novak or Caroll to do it. They would fall short, but I think it highlights how close this team is to breaking through while still early in the season. The VT match count...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 10

From the desk of the UW AD The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the playoff hunt, and it’s in no small part due to the play of Andrew Wingard. The former University of Wyoming safety has bounced back from an injury-plagued 2024-25 and has started every game this year for 5-4 Jacksonville. In Sunday’s 36-29 loss at Houston, Wingard matched a season-high with nine tackles with one pass defended. For the season, he’s made 54 tackles, one interception, four passes defended, one fumble recovery and one quarterback hit. Below is a list of all the former University of Wyoming Cowboys and how they did in Week 10. Carl Granderson, New Orleans Saints Granderson contributed in the Saints’ 17-7 victory at Carolina. He recorded one tackle. For the...

BS on Basketball: The First Three Games

BS on Basketball: The First Three Games

The first three games of the season are in the books. After my report on the last exhibition game, I wanted to watch a few games before bringing any more insights. So far this has turned out to be exactly the type of schedule this team needed. They've been punched in the mouth a few times, had their struggles, and managed to win all 3 games. RP40 is working - Sunny has brought up his RP40 philosophy for this team at every turn since this roster was put together. In a nutshell, it means that they've playing with relentless pressure for 40 minutes. As we've seen in the first 3 games, it's working. Teams are being run out of the gym in Laramie, and I couldn't be happier to see it. Let's look specifically at the Fullerton and Austin Peay...

Wyoming Wrestling Kicks Off their Season!

Wyoming Wrestling Kicks Off their Season!

Hey Wyoming Wrestling Fans! Sorry for the delay in writing the blog this week. For this blog I will focus on the Joey Novak match and the controversy as well as the WWCC dual; though I must admit I did not catch a lot of it due to streaming issues at the gym. Joey Novak For the second year in a row, Wyoming has sent a wrestler to the NWCA All-Star classic. Novak is a returning AA (5th place) and faced off against Stephen Little from Ark-Little Rock. Little bested Novak his FR year, however Novak, got his revenge last March. One thing I noticed last year after his first lost at NCAA was that Novak seemed not to be the aggressor, but his magical run in the consolation brackets he controlled the pressure, and guys could not keep up. I...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 9

Pokes in the Pros: Week 9

From the desk of the UW AD Josh Allen is rewriting a good portion of the Buffalo Bills’ record books. The former University of Wyoming quarterback owns a number of different franchise high marks, and he set another one Sunday in a 28-21 victory over Kansas City. Allen tore up the Chiefs – who entered Sunday with the league’s second-best defense – through the air, going 23-for-26 for 273 yards and one score. The 88.5 percent completion percentage is the best ever in Bills’ history. Allen also did a little on the ground, carrying it six times covering 19 yards with two touchdowns. For the season, Allen is 157-for-223 for 1,833 yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. He’s ran it 55 times totaling 280 yards with an additional...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 8

From the desk of the UW AD It appears as though the bye week occurred at a fortuitous time for Buffalo and former University of Wyoming quarterback, Josh Allen. The Bills, who had lost two in a row, throttled a hot Carolina team, 40-9, in Charlotte. Allen had one of his more mundane stat lines, but he didn’t need to be at his best for the pieces around him to thrive. He finished 12-for-19 for 163 yards with one touchdown, while rushing it a season-low three times totaling seven yards with two scores. For the season, Allen is 134-for-197 for 1,560 yards and 12 touchdowns with five interceptions. He’s added 261 yards on 49 carries with five scores for 5-2 Buffalo. The Bills host Kansas City in Week 9. Below is a list of all the former...

BS on Basketball - College of Idaho

BS on Basketball - College of Idaho

The new look Cowboys had their home debut on Saturday, beating the reigning NAIA champion College of Idaho 111-63. There are plenty of articles recapping the game (see one from 7220 Sports here), so I'm not going to put out another one. Rather, I'll give you my thoughts on what I saw from the team. Please note that this was an exhibition game against an NAIA team, but there are still some good takeaways from this game. Naz Meyer is for real - Welcome to Laradise #2! It was immediately apparent that Naz is going to be a problem for other teams throughout the season. 16 seconds into the game he drained a 3, then followed that up with drawing a foul on the next possession on a fast break and sinking both free throws. The freshman ended...

History of the Border War

History of the Border War

The Border War is an annual game between the Colorado State Rams and the Wyoming Cowboys. The history of the Border War started in 1899 when the Cowboys traveled to Fort Collins, CO to take on the Rams. The Cowboys lost that first contest 12-0, but this would be the first of many games played between the two schools. Laramie and Fort Collins are only 66 miles a part down highway 287. The game is longest continuous rivalry West of the Mississippi, and has been played over the course of three centuries. In 1968 the two schools decided to give the game a traveling trophy, a trophy that is called the Bronze Boot. The Bronze Boot is a size 8 jump boot worn by Colorado State alum Dan Romero Sr., a Vietnam War veteran. The idea of the bronze...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 7

Pokes in the Pros: Week 7

From the desk of the UW AD Logan Wilson was in the news this week, but it wasn’t in the most flattering way. The former University of Wyoming linebacker was told his snaps would be reduced, making way for a rookie to play more. Wilson didn’t pout or make a scene, he just prepared like he always has and helped his understudy. And wouldn’t you know it, Wilson still produced at a high level in the Bengals’ 33-31 victory over Pittsburgh. He made four tackles and defended a pass. For the season, Wilson possesses 41 tackles, has defended four passes and owns a fumble recovery for 3-4 Cincinnati. Below is a list of all the former Wyoming Cowboys and how they did in Week 7. Frank Crum, Denver Broncos Crum was active and played for the first...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 6

From the desk of UW AD Before the season began, Chad Muma was looking for a new home. Jacksonville – the team that drafted him – had cut him, and the former University of Wyoming linebacker was wondering where his NFL journey would continue. Indianapolis signed the four-year veteran and after Week 1 inactive status, Muma has earned playing time and contributed. He made a tackle in the Colts’ 31-27 come-from-behind victory over Arizona on Sunday, giving him a tackle in four of the last five games while playing on special teams and getting reps at linebacker. The surprising 5-1 Colts travel to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Below is a list of all the former Wyoming Cowboys and how they performed in Week 6. Andrew Wingard...
