Volunteer position. Wow two douche bags on the same bench. They deserve each other.

So this is our listed rb group. Of the group only three had any stats from last year. -
Waylee - 899 yards for season. Average 82 yards per game. 5 td's. ( Stats from his playing time at Northern Illinois.)
McNeeley - 356 yards for season. Average 40 yards per game. 1 td.
James - 346 yards for season. Average 43 yards per game. 0 td's.

With Waylee hurt & out at least first two to three games minimum,. Who has the ability and best chances to step up and be
the next Mr. Running Back given the limited game experience and over all age of the group?

Thanks,

Las Vegas, Nev. (July 19, 2022) -- The Mountain West Conference released on Wednesday its 2023 Preseason Predicted Order of Finish and Preseason All-Conference Team as selected by Mountain West media members. Wyoming was picked to finish sixth in the 12-team Mountain West Conference and five Cowboys were named to the Preseason MW First Team led by junior linebacker Easton Gibbs, who was named the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. The announcement kicked off 2023 Mountain West Football Media Days being held at the Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev.



Joining Gibbs on the MW First Team were: junior defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole, graduate offensive tackle Frank Crum, junior defensive end DeVonne Harris and junior place-kicker John Hoyland. Wyoming’s five selections were the most of any team, followed by four selections each for Air Force, Colorado State and San Diego State.



Gibbs and Hoyland were First Team All-MW selections at the conclusion of the 2022 season in voting by MW head coaches and media. Harris was a ‘22 Honorable Mention All-Mountain West honoree.



Gibbs becomes the first MW Preseason Defensive Player of the Year since former Cowboy safety Andrew Wingard was the preseason selection prior to both the 2017 and 2018 seasons. The most recent Cowboy to earn any of the Preseason Player of the Year honors was former place-kicker Cooper Rothe, who was named the Preseason Special Teams Player of the Year prior to the 2019 season.



Wednesday’s Mountain West Media Day schedule will feature two football student-athletes from each Mountain West school being interviewed by MW television partners CBS Sports Network, FOX Sports and the Mountain West Network, as well as media members from around the conference. On Thursday, all 12 head coaches from each Mountain West school will take center stage.



Wyoming is being represented by head coach Craig Bohl, junior linebacker Gibbs and graduate quarterback Andrew Peasley.

I recently suffered through a shopping event with the family and briefly saw through a sports bar window highlights of the 1984 Holiday Bowl where BYU beat Michigan and that led to BYU’s national championship. That led me to review Wyoming’s season that year and I was struck at the similarity of recent results:

Wyoming went 2-2 in OOC losing both away contests at bigger schools (Huskers and Beavers) while winning both home games against lesser opponents (both South Dakota schools). Had some good wins in beating rival CSU and beating AFA and Utah. Lost some frustrating ones....a close one on the island (three points) and lost by three at then #5 BYU. Looked like they would finish with seven wins but instead fell to a winless UTEP team the last game of the season and finished 6-6. With a little luck and not tanking the last game against a hapless opponent, it could have been a nine win season........

Had a stud future NFL talent in Novacek who struggled to prove his true worth in Kincaid’s run heavy offense (that averaged about 18 passes a game) but who did manage to set an NCAA single season average per reception (22.6 yards) his senior year (1984).

Such a typical Wyoming season.

Former Cowboy basketball player, Kenny Smith's daughter plays for the US soccer team. She scored the first goal for the women's team in the WC today and was involved in all 3 of the US goals. She was named player of the match. Sophia grew up in Windsor, attending Fossil Ridge. Played soccer at Stanford, winning a national championship while there. I thought you would like to know of the Wyo connection and the success of a young athlete just a few miles south of us.

Jeff does a good job of adding to our sources of information.

It was stated in one of the articles by Cody that Bohl released a depth chart in LV. Could someone share that with us here?

Due to knee injury. He had meniscus repair surgery but perhaps there is problems with the healing. A reason they signed the JUCO RB.

Slow around here waiting for Poke football. So I will bring up a topic for the board. I was flipping the channels around and watched about 2 and one half minutes of WNBA All star game. Game was unwatchable but beside the point there is an interesting rule with a 4 point shot. Women could score a 4 pointer if they jacked a shot up from one of two small circles between the three point line and half court. I think it is a bad idea and only encourages even more poor shooting and seems like a desperate plea to get people to tune in to the WNBA. This rule is for the All star game in the WNBA only but would not be even a little surprised if they added it to the regular season as a rule. Do you like the rule? Anyone think it could be added to NBA and eventually NCAA?
And that got me thinking, thanks largely to Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese in the NCAA, Women's college hoops is on the rise. But will we watch any women's hoops long term? I hope the WNBA becomes a better product or even Clark and Reese wont be able to save it. It is just hard to watch and I try with the Cowgirls but still find myself struggling. I am told by Cowgirl fans it is a better brand of basketball than the men's game. Cowgirls have more success than the Cowboys but still its difficult. Is women's hoops on the rise? Will you get season tickets to the Cowgirls? Or will this NCAA surge crash and burn once Clark is lost in the WNBA?

Maldonado and Jeffries Continue NBA Summer League Action in Las Vegas​

LARAMIE, Wyo. (July 12,2023) –Former Cowboys Hunter Maldonado and Drake Jeffries continue NBA Summer League Tournament action this week in Las Vegas.

2023 Wyoming Football MediaGuide


Las Vegas, Nev. (July 18, 2023) -- The Wyoming Cowboys will join the other Mountain West Conference football programs this week to preview the 2023 college football season at Mountain West Media Days at the Circa Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. Representing the University of Wyoming at the event will be head coach Craig Bohl, junior linebacker Easton Gibbs and graduate quarterback Andrew Peasley.



The event will run Wednesday and Thursday, July 19-20 with conference and national media conducting interviews with the head coaches and two student-athletes from all 12 MW football programs. The student-athlete interviews will take place on Wednesday, followed by coaches' interviews on Thursday.



Craig Bohl Looks to Continue Wyoming's Success in His 10th Season as Head Coach

Bohl will enter his 10th season leading the University of Wyoming Football program in 2023 and with his 10th season will become the longest tenured head football coach in school history. He was previously tied with former Cowboy head coaches John Corbett (1915-23) and Lloyd Eaton (1962-70), who each served nine seasons as head coach of the Cowboys.



The 2023 season will be Bohl’s 21st as a head coach at the collegiate level. During the past nine seasons under the direction of Bohl, Wyoming Football has enjoyed a level of excellence that has never been reached in the rich history of Cowboy Football.



Bohl and his coaching staff became the first Wyoming Football staff to lead UW to three straight bowl victories -- the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl and the 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.



He and his staff are the only football staff in Wyoming history to lead five different teams to bowl appearances. Wyoming’s 2022 appearance in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl marked the fifth time in seven seasons (2016, ‘17, ‘19, ‘21 and ‘22) that Bohl guided the Cowboys to a bowl bid. The Cowboys earned bowl eligibility a sixth time in the 2018 season.



In terms of success, the Cowboys have become regular contenders in the race for the Mountain West Conference title. The Pokes concluded the 2022 season in second place in the Mountain Division. UW also finished second in its division in 2017. In 2016, Wyoming won the Mountain Division and hosted the 2016 Mountain West Championship Game by virtue of being the highest ranked team in the conference at the time of the championship game. UW has enjoyed five winning seasons in the seven seasons since 2016, winning eight games in 2016, ‘17 and ‘19 and recording seven wins in 2021 and ‘22.



Easton Gibbs and Andrew Peasley Return to Lead the Cowboys in 2023

Junior middle linebacker Gibbs was named First Team All-Mountain West in 2022 as a sophomore in voting by Mountain West head coaches and media. He has been named to the 2023 Preseason First Team All-MW Team by both Athlon Sports and Phil Steele. Gibbs ranked No. 3 in the conference and 22nd nationally in tackles for the 2022 season, at 9.3 tackles per game. He recorded the first 100-tackle season of his career, with 121. He became only the 61st Cowboy in the 126-year history of Cowboy Football to record 100 tackles in a single season. In 2022, he became the third Wyoming linebacker to earn First Team All-Mountain West honors in the last four consecutive seasons, following Logan Wilson (2019) and Chad Muma (2020 and ‘21).



Peasley earned Honorable Mention All-Mountain West Conference in 2022 in voting by Mountain West head coaches and media. In his first season as Wyoming’s starting QB in '22 after transferring from Utah State, Peasley earned the immediate respect from his teammates by being voted a team captain. He went on to lead Wyoming to a 7-6 record and a berth in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl.



Peasley threw for 1,574 yards and 10 touchdowns in 12 games, missing the Colorado State game due to injury. He also showed his versatility by rushing for 339 yards and two more TDs. He was Wyoming’s team leader in total offense, with 1,913 total yards. His cool, calm demeanor enabled the Cowboys to record come-from-behind victories in four different games with him under center.



Place-kicker John Hoyland Racking Up Preseason Honors

One of Wyoming’s most highly-decorated players returning this season is junior place-kicker John Hoyland, who has been recognized as one of the top returning place-kickers in the nation in 2023. Hoyland has been named to Athlon Sports 2023 Preseason Second Team All-America squad, and he also was selected by Phil Steele as a Third Team 2023 Preseason All-American.



A year ago, Hoyland was selected the 2022 First Team All-Mountain West place-kicker in voting by MW head coaches and media. He was also a 2022 Semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award. This preseason, he has also been selected as the 2023 First Team Preseason All-Mountain West Conference place-kicker by both Athlon Sports and Phil Steele.



In 2022, Hoyland led the MW and ranked No. 7 in the nation in field goals made (1.69 per game), was No. 2 in the MW and No. 18 in the FBS in field-goal percentage (88.0 percent) and made 22 of 25 field goal attempts on the season. His 22 made field goals set a new Wyoming single-season school record, breaking the record of former Cowboy All-America kickers Cory Wedel, who made 20 field goals in 1996, and J.D. Wallum, who made 20 in 2001. He also made four field goals of over 50 yards in the 2022 season -- 51 yards, 53, 53 and 55. His 55-yarder was tied for the fifth longest in the FBS last season and was the longest in the Mountain West in ‘22.



Cowboys Return 17 Starters and 48 Letterwinners From 2022

A year ago, the Wyoming Cowboys entered the 2022 college football season as the fourth youngest team in the country. But given that, the Cowboys went on to record a 7-6 record, finish second in the Mountain West Conference Mountain Division and earn a spot in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl. Along the way the ‘22 Pokes defeated rivals Air Force, Colorado State, Hawai’i, New Mexico, Utah State and American Athletic Conference member Tulsa.

As Wyoming approaches the 2023 season, the outlook is much different than it was a year ago. A total of 17 of 24 starters return this season, with 10 of 11 starters returning on defense, a group of five starters on offense plus starting place-kicker Hoyland and starting punter Clayton Stewart.

Those 17 returning starters are among 48 returning letterwinners -- 22 on offense, 22 on defense and four on special teams.

The Pokes will not be shy of leadership either. While team captains for the 2023 season will not be voted on until fall camp, all four team captains return from last year in linebacker Gibbs and nose tackle Cole Godbout on defense and quarterback Peasley and tight end Treyton Welch on offense.



Preseason All-Conference Honors for Several Cowboys From Athlon and Phil Steele

A number of Cowboys have been named to 2023 Preseason All-Mountain West teams by Athlon Sports and Phil Steele.

Athlon Sports selected 13 Wyoming Cowboys to its 2023 Preseason All-Mountain West Teams earlier this summer. Six Wyoming Cowboys were named to Athlon’s Preseason First Team. Those six include: place-kicker Hoyland, graduate offensive tackle Frank Crum and junior running back Harrison Waylee, who transferred to Wyoming in January from Northern Illinois, on offense. Junior defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole, middle linebacker Gibbs and graduate nose tackle Godbout represent the Cowboy defense on the First Team.

Three Cowboys are on Athlon’s All-Mountain West Second Team, including junior defensive end DeVonne Harris, junior offensive center Nofoafia Tulafono and graduate tight end Welch.



Sophomore defensive end Braden Siders is the only Wyoming Cowboy on the Third Team, while three Cowboys are on the Fourth Team. Those three are junior free safety Wyett Ekeler, graduate punter Stewart and junior linebacker Shae Suiaunoa.



The 2023 Phil Steele Preseason All-Conference teams were announced earlier this summer and 10 Wyoming Cowboys were named to the Preseason All-Mountain West Teams. Among those 10 were place-kicker Hoyland, who was named First Team All-Mountain West. He was joined on Phil Steele's Mountain West First Team by defensive tackle Bertagnole, offensive tackle Crum, middle linebacker Gibbs and defensive end Harris.



Wyoming had two players named to Phil Steele’s All-Mountain West Second Team. Junior running back Dawaiian McNeely and tight end Welch were the Second Team selections.



Two other Cowboys were named Third Team. Those two were sophomore defensive end Sabastian Harsh and linebacker Suiaunoa. Nose tackle Godbout was the lone Poke named to the Fourth Team.

and requests a one month extension. Why would the MWC grant that? Is this even notice? Kinda like being half pregnant.
