People hear “Wyoming” and picture the Tetons. In reality that’s a small slice of a state that is treeless, windy and oftentimes bleak. Only one city has +50,000 people. If you don’t arrive there already having made your millions, it’s a hard place to scratch out a life. People make their money in mining, drilling and agriculture. Wal-Mart is the biggest employer in the state... The second largest is the University of Wyoming. It’s damn near impossible to recruit football players there, but the school brings pride to a lot of people. Spend time traveling across the whole of Wyoming and you’ll find it’s a hard place not to pull for… Watching this tonight made me happy, and reminded me why college football is great. They’re trying to price the Wyomings out of college football. Don’t forget there are people who live and die with teams like the Cowboys with just as much passion as fans of the big brands
@GrahamCoffeyDC Wyoming is awesome…..I’m a Georgia native nut it’s a beautiful and unique place….I enjoyed the Cowboys win as well…..I try to catch many of their games late night after the Dawgs
@GrahamCoffeyDC I haven’t been to the Windy River Range yet but it’s on my list
@GrahamCoffeyDC Their QB is nice. That throw he made right into the blitz for the winning TD is a big time throw
@GrahamCoffeyDC What you call bleak many others call heavenly. Also, while you are trying to make it seem like WalMart being the largest employer is some kind of dunk on State, it happens to be the largest employer in 22 States, including every state that houses an SEC school.
@GrahamCoffeyDC Wait. Tech lost to Wyoming? Yikes!
@GrahamCoffeyDC Dad’s side of the fam is from Cheyenne and dad was a die hard. I still remember the brutal loss to the Hawkeyes in 1987 in the Holiday bowl (in person) and how awful the Iowa fans were. I’ll always have a fond place for the Pokes in my heart. Great piece Graham!
