From the Director's Chair. . .
"Like every other Cowboy football fan, we can't wait to start the 2011 season on Saturday. At the same time we ask for your patience, especially in our Ford Stadium and Summit View parking lots, while we work through the logistics."
"We are excited about our fall sports. Soccer earned a big victory at Colorado on the weekend, and the volleyball team won its UniWyo Wyoming Invite. With the opening of football, and cross country (Friday) seasons this weekend, all of our fall offerings will be underway. We wish all of our student-athletes and coaches the very best."
Downtown Kickoff Set for Saturday. . .
A lot of Laramie folks have worked very hard to make the first annual Downtown Kickoff a success. The event is set for Saturday between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., on Grand Avenue between First and Second Streets. The Laramie Main Street project is sponsoring the event as a welcome to all Wyoming fans coming for the Weber State game.
There will be food, music (bands from the Snowy Range Music Festival), tons of prizes to be raffled and a huge UW athletics presence. The Voice of the Cowboys Dave Walsh will be the emcee, and Wyoming coaches, student-athletes, the cheer squad, the UW band and Pistol Pete himself will be there.
Raffle tickets are $5 each or five for $20 dollars. Drawings for the raffle will take place at 2:30 p.m. on the corner of Second and Grand. Purchasers need not be present to win. Laramie Main Street will announce the winners at 3 p.m. on Saturday.
It should be quite an event, and a great start to the opening of the Cowboy football season.
Hall of Fame. . .
The 19th annual University of Wyoming Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame is this Friday at the UW Convention Center at the Hilton Garden Inn. The event starts at 6 p.m.
As usual it's another terrific class including volleyball coaching great Mike English, NCAA track champion Wesley Maiyo, the school's first wrestling All-American Dr. Robert Mason, track great Shauna Smith, swimming Olympian Scott Usher, quarterback great Jim Walden and that unforgettable Sweet 16 basketball team from 1986-87.
Tickets are available at the athletic department's main office (766-2292).
Tailgate Park. . .
One of the great traditions of a Cowboy football weekend is Tailgate Park, south of War Memorial Stadium. For the Weber State game, the park area will open at 4:30 p.m. and continue through 6:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

Another tradition on a Wyoming football Saturday is the Cowboy Walk.

The Pokes will leave the Hilton Hotel and walk along the south end of the lot. They will enter War Memorial Stadium at Gate 3, and walk across Jonah Field to the Rochelle Athletic Center. Western Thunder and the Spirit Squads will lead the team from the hotel.
