For the younger generation Poke fans

[CowboyNV]

I watched this one on TV as well....my first year in college so I didn't have the funds to make the trip. I know all the younger fans get sick of hearing about "those were the days," but man, Wyoming was relevant in those days. People actually feared playing the Cowboys. I sincerely hope Coach Bohl can lead us back to being Cowboy Tough once again.

I get it, you guys want us to be back to that level. It's your alma matter, you want it to be at the top, it makes sense.
But the fact that, that is ALL we have is what bothers me. It's not so much about "the old folks talking about the 80s" but more like...I don't want to hear about it because it is depressing to think that is ALL we have.

It just sucks that the highlights of Wyo football since I have been ALIVE are:
1. 2004 Vegas Bowl victory
2. 2009 NM Bowl victory
3. 10 win season resulting in no bowl game.
4. 1993 Copper Bowl loss
5. 2011 NM Bowl loss
That is 0 conference titles, 4 bowl games, and 2 bowl wins.

At that rate, I will be 33 the next time Wyo wins a bowl game.

I do feel bad for you BP. There was a time when being a Wyoming Cowboy meant something. We will get back there someday. I just hope it is before I turn 83 :thumb:

I just turned 40 yesterday and I just hope I see Wyoming wins a outright conference title in football before I'm dead from old age!!!!! Last time was when I was 14 in 1988!!!!!

Happy b-day Wyokie. And hey, at least Wyo has won one.
Of course, I was a kid watching Marcus Bailey win a couple, so I got that going for me

We also won the 1987 WAC title. We should've beaten Iowa in that Holiday Bowl. DAMNED INT for a TD killed us.

I like those Wyoming jerseys. Hopefully we'll ditch the new age "Duck Wing"(go ahead and tell me again how they aren't Duck Wings) stupidity for something old school that embraces our history and tradition.

I'd love to see these uniform adopted as throwbacks for homecoming.

Not to be picky, but we're talking the 60s.

Welcome to the life of being a Cowboys fan. It's a tough row to hoe, and the reason our attendance kind of sucks.
