Got this email today from CJC celebrating that there are now 4,000 members.



And then I remembered this from 2017, when the CJC celebrated having 5,000 members.



Seems pretty clear that Wyoming fans have been voting with their wallets.

Interesting...

Of course I hope for his success.

With that said, as best I can tell he's never been on a coaching staff that won an FBS-level conference title.

this is the first time in Wyo Football history that the Pokes have played in a bowl game, three years in a row.

Here is to a AZ bowl victory. Thanks coach!

To Coach Bohl’ press conference?

Thanking you in advance.

I have to admit, el conquistador pretty much ruined me for all others. The deep fried maranito stuffed with pork rinds and smothererd in green chile was unique, to die for and I have found none other like it anywhere in my travels. Su Casa does have decent green chile.

Anyway, when in Rome. What is the best Mexican restaurant in Tucson?

Thanks for your time, efforts and energy on behalf of U.W. Football Coach Bohl, may your retirement be all you wish it to be...

Congratulations on appointment as H.C. Coach Sawvel, good luck & may your time in the position be successful.

I don't know about you guys, but I can remember in the past when before and after Thanksgiving was typically a pretty quiet few days, eat some turkey and get stuffed ourselves!

Things have changed, my email accounts have exploded with adds. My phone would be chirping at me constantly (I turned off the chirping!), but it doesn't mean that everyone and that their cousin that has one of my email addresses has not been sending me, not once, not twice, but it seems like 6 to 8 times daily about what deals they have going right now. I have spent so much time erasing these messages it isn't funny. I thought this electronic age was supposed to cut down on our workload! Haw, if anything it has increased it, as those businesses have discovered the way to get their message in front of my eyes in a more insidious way, day after day!

Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Who you got? I'd like to see the Broncos get crushed.

Laramie, Wyo. (Dec. 3, 2023) – For the third consecutive season the Wyoming Cowboys will be playing in a bowl game, which is the first time that has happened in Wyoming school history. The Cowboys have accepted an invitation to the 2023 Bartstool Sports Arizona Bowl, marking the second consecutive year the Pokes will play in Tucson and the third time in the past five seasons. Wyoming will face the University of Toledo Rockets in this year’s Arizona Bowl.



The 2023 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl will kick off on Saturday, Dec. 30 at 2:30 p.m., Mountain Time in Tucson, Ariz. Wyoming will bring an 8-4 overall record and a 5-3 Mountain West Conference record into the game. Toledo finished its season with an 11-2 overall mark and an 8-0 record in the Mid-American Conference (MAC).



“We are excited about going back to Tucson and playing an excellent University of Toledo football team,” said University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman. “If this Cowboy team can get a ninth win, that would be a fantastic accomplishment.”



Ticket Information

Tickets to the 2023 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl will be available for purchase soon through the University of Wyoming Athletics Ticket Office. Fans may purchase tickets online at GoWyo.com/tickets, by calling (307) 766-7220 or by going to the UW Athletics Ticket Office on the west side of the Arena-Auditorium.



About the Matchup

On way to its 8-4 overall record and 5-3 mark in the Mountain West Conference, Wyoming defeated two Top 25 teams ranked this season in Texas Tech and Fresno State, posted a perfect 7-0 home record and set a new single-season home attendance record.



In addition to making its third consecutive bowl appearance for the first time in school history, the Cowboys are making their sixth bowl appearance in the last eight seasons (2016, ‘17, ‘19, ‘21, ‘22 and ‘23), which is also a school best. UW also won three consecutive bowl game appearances (2017, ‘19 and ‘21) during the time Craig Bohl has been head coach of the Cowboys.



Toledo finished the season with an 11-2 overall mark and were 8-0 in the MAC in the regular season to capture the MAC West Division title. The Rockets lost to Miami (Ohio) by a score of 23-14 in the MAC Championship Game on Saturday.



Wyoming and Toledo have played each other twice before, with the road team winning each game. Wyoming won 20-15 on Oct. 2, 2010, in Toledo, and Toledo won 34-31 on Sept. 8, 2012, in Laramie.



This will be the Cowboys’s third appearance in the Arizona Bowl. Wyoming defeated Georgia State, 38-17, in the 2019 Arizona Bowl and lost a thrilling 27-30 overtime game to Ohio in last year’s game.



Where to Watch and Listen

The 2023 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl will be telecast live nationally on the CW and on Barstool TV.

2023 Season A Memorable One

•Defeating two Top 25 ranked teams -- then No. 24 ranked Texas Tech (35-33 in double overtime) and then No. 24 ranked Fresno State (24-19).



•Battling eventual College Football Playoff No. 3 seed Texas to a 10-10 tie entering the fourth quarter in Austin,Texas.

•Achieving a perfect 7-0 home record, marking the first time in school history that the Cowboys won seven home games in a single season.



•Attracting a school single-season record 162,144 fans, breaking the previous home attendance record for a seven-game home schedule of 149,625.



•Retaining two rivalry trophies in victories over Colorado State and Hawai’i.

Wyoming’s Recent Bowl Success the Best in School History

Wyoming will be making its sixth bowl appearance in the past eight seasons under the direction of head coach Craig Bohl, which is the only time in school history that Wyoming has made that many bowl appearances in that span of time. The Cowboys have posted a 3-2 bowl record in its previous five bowl appearances under Bohl.



This year’s appearance will be Wyoming’s 19th bowl appearance in history. The Cowboys are 9-9 overall in bowl games.



Bohl and his coaching staff have set a new standard for Cowboy Football. A year ago in 2022, Bohl became the first head coach in Wyoming Football history to take five Cowboy teams to bowl games. He now extends that record to become the first Cowboy head coach to take six teams to bowl games.



Included in Wyoming’s bowl-game appearances during the Bohl era are the: 2016 Poinsettia Bowl, 2017 Potato Bowl, 2019 Arizona Bowl, 2021 Potato Bowl, 2022 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl and the 2023 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl. Prior to Bohl, UW Athletics Hall of Fame Coach Paul Roach had held the record, taking three Wyoming teams to bowl games (1987, ‘88 and ‘90).

Spencer Danielson was just named as their new HC.

Did I tell you that we would be hearing how thrilled UW is to go bowl, any bowl. Frankly I doubt that UW will win, because Bohl has never won 9 games in a season at UW. When Burman says it would be a fantastic accomplishment to get 9 wins, that is plain sports AD talk, because I will tell you what a true fantastic accomplishment is and that is to win the damn MWC! We were just sent to the least desirable bowl because we are bowl eligible. This BS about how it is so great to see Bohl take UW to another bowl game.....I dare say, if Bohl had been the coach at UW back in the 1980's he would not have been going to any bowl games most likely because the level of needing to get into one was so much higher then than it is now.

“We are excited about going back to Tucson and playing an excellent University of Toledo football team,” said University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman. “If this Cowboy team can get a ninth win, that would be a fantastic accomplishment.”

Do I need to remind people that we lost last year to a MAC school and if anything Toledo is better than Ohio was last year. Also, Wyoming has never won 9 games under Bohl and Toledo is 11-2 overall, with one of their only two losses is a 2 point loss to the Univ, of Illinois at the beginning of the season and the other is a season ending loss to Miami of Ohio in the championship game 14-23. One of their wins was against San Jose State in San Jose 21-17. Can UW win? Absolutely, do I feel confident against Toledo? No.
