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
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...
Pokes in the Pros: Week 5
From the desk of UW AD: It’s too soon to say whether or not Monday night was a changing of the AFC guards. However, Andrew Wingard and Jacksonville made a strong case that it could be. The Jaguars rallied two different times – the last of which was with under two minutes to play – to knock off three-time defending AFC champion, Kansas City, 31-28. The victory moves Jacksonville to 4-1, which is tied atop the AFC with two other teams, Buffalo and Indianapolis, which also have former Wyoming Cowboys on the roster. Speaking to the Jaguars’ former Cowboy, he put forth another stout game, boasting seven tackles and one quarterback hit. That gives Wingard 29 tackles, one interception, two passes defended, one fumble recovery and one...
Pokes in the Pros: Week 4
From the desk of UW Athletics Two former University of Wyoming Cowboys squared off against one another Sunday during Week 4 of the NFL season. Whether it was Josh Allen evading Carl Granderson or Granderson chasing down Allen, the two did their best at their respective positions to help their team. In the end, it was Allen and Buffalo who prevailed to improve to 4-0 on the season, while New Orleans dropped to 0-4 on the year. Allen finished 16-for-22 for 209 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding 45 yards on seven carries and one score on the ground. Granderson piled up five tackles, one sack of Allen, two tackles for loss and one quarterback hit. For the season, Allen is 85-for-121 for 964 yards with seven...
Pokes in the Pros: Week 3
From Bud Denega, UW Athletics LARAMIE, Wyoming (9/23/25) – The Jacksonville Jaguars had a surprisingly poor 2024-25 season. That’s not been the narrative thus far in 2025-26. The Jaguars have already amassed half the wins, two, that they had a season ago, and Andrew Wingard has certainly contributed to that. The former University of Wyoming Cowboy has accumulated 17 tackles and logged one interception for 2-1 Jacksonville. Just this past week, Wingard made six tackles in a 17-10 victory over Houston. Wingard and the Jaguars will look to keep up their winning ways in Week 4 at San Francisco. Below is a list of all the former Wyoming Cowboys and how they did in Week 3. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills Allen enjoyed an efficient day in the...
Pokes in the Pros: Week 2
Release from UW Athletics: LARAMIE, Wyoming (9/16/25) – The team may not be all that great, but Carl Granderson is doing everything in his power to make New Orleans viable. The former University of Wyoming Cowboy is tied for the league lead in sacks with 3.5 following another week where he was consistently in the opponent’s backfield. Granderson boasted seven tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss and three quarterback hits in the Saints’ 26-21 loss to San Francisco. For the season, Granderson owns 13 tackles, 3.5 sacks, four tackles for loss, two passes defended and four quarterback hits for 0-2 New Orleans. The Saints travel to Seattle in Week 3. Below is a list of all the former Wyoming student-athletes and how they did in Week...
Pokes in the Pros: Week 1
From UW AD: LARAMIE, Wyoming (9/9/25) – The National Football League’s season got off to an emphatic start this week, and a former University of Wyoming Cowboy was at the epicenter of it. Josh Allen thrilled fans, the ones that stuck around at least, with a come-from-behind, 41-40, victory over Baltimore on Sunday night. Allen rallied the Bills back from a 40-25 deficit with a tremendous and record-breaking fourth quarter. He became the first quarterback in league history to throw for north of 250 yards and account for two scores in a single quarter. In total, Allen was 33-for-46 for 394 yards with two touchdowns. He also rushed for a pair of scores and 30 yards in his first game as the reining Most Valuable Player. The Bills travel to...
