Dear, Taven.
I hope you are well young man...and I hope your head is clear, because what I'm about to tell you makes more sense than anything you may have heard previously.
I understand that you have given a verbal commitment to The University Of Florida?
Nice school, nice weather, nice program that has won a lot of games.
But Taven, are you REALLY going to do this?
You are a WYOMING bred and WYOMING raised boy.
The bucking Bronc is in your blood and it is a part of your DNA, son.
Question: Did you watch last Saturday's game against Nebraska?
Did you not well up with pride as the only 4 year college in this great sanctuary we live in slugged their way against the mighty Corn for all 4 quarters...with the outcome in doubt right down to the very last play of the game?
For the life of me I cannot understand how you would ever not want to grow up wishing and wanting to proudly put on the BROWN & GOLD colors of WYOMING Football.
These are not just our WYOMING COWBOYS...they are YOUR WYOMING COWBOYS, probably much more so than most people, because you grew up here, you understand the meaning of; 'Cowboy Tough'.
Forget Florida.
WYOMING is in your blood.
This is YOUR state.
And that team that plays in Laramie is YOUR team, son.
You have an opportunity to make a mark, to set a standard, to help to build something special here, in your own backyard to boot!
You go to Florida you are nothing more than a link in a very long chain...and you could actually get lost in the process eventually as well.
You're a WYOMING kid, and you're WYOMING tough.
After you stop reading this well intended message I want you to go look at yourself in the mirror.
See that young man looking back at you?
That ain't no Gator looking back at you, Tavon.
Stop with the charade.
Who are you really kidding.
Look again at that guy in the mirror.
That's a COWBOY staring back at you.
Do the right thing.
Tell everyone you're staying here.
Tell them down in Gainesville that you tried really hard to think of yourself as something else...but in the end.
You cannot fool the man in the mirror.
Admit to them that that young man in the mirror is a Cowboy.
A WYOMING COWBOY.
See ya in Laramie next year.
And, thank you, son.
We're all proud of you.
