Out where the deer and the antelope play

It would be nice if we would be back on the rise again.

Sports Illustrated - 10/25/1976

The best thing about the University of Wyoming's experiencing another renaissance in football—once again slamming favored opponents, once again scratching back to the top of the tough, talented and too often neglected Western Athletic Conference after seven years in the valley of the shadow—is that it allows an opportunity to clear up some misconceptions. Coach Fred Akers, for one, admits he believed Wyoming to be no more than three blocks from the Canadian border when he was asked up from Texas to take the head coaching job two years ago. Blizzards in July is what Wyoming meant to Akers. And a predominantly Eskimo population.

We had 1 good year in the 70s, and got destroyed by Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl that year.

From the article - "Furthermore, coaches were reluctant to coach. Team discipline went to pot. "Two-Fifty Night" at the Buckhorn, a Laramie hangout where a fellow could quaff all the beer he wanted on a Wednesday for $2.50, drew a swarm of football players. "Before Coach Akers and his staff took over, we were the Buckhorn's best customers," says McClain. "I'd see the seniors going and I'd say, 'What the heck, I'm not playing, I'll go, too.' You'd have a hard time finding a player at the Buckhorn during the season now.""

So funny how history repeats itself.

It really is. I wouldn't mind the buck repeating the $2.50 all you can drink though! Do you guys remember when you could drink for a buck at the ranger - all you could drink, until you had to piss?

You don't see much of that anymore. Drinkin with Lincoln. Drink for free till you piss. etc.
