Wyoming Fans Wait for Fall with Guarded Optimism
May 1, 2009

31 reads

I am a Senior in Marketing at the University of Wyoming. I was born and raised in Rawlins, Wyoming so I am a diehard Cowboys fan. I originally intended on going on to law school after i receive my Bachelor's in hopes of becoming a sports agent.

However, I've recently done some soul searching, and I just don't think I want to live off the talent of others. Not to mention, I'm not exactly thrilled with the prospect of going through 3 more years of school.

I do love writing and sports so I figured blogging on the Mountain West Conference would be a great hobby. It's an awesome way to express myself and blow off some steam. Trust me, as a Pokes fan there is plenty of steam.

Steve Nash, Chase Utley, Reggie Bush, and Phil Mickelson

When the 49ers finally beat the Cowboys in the '94 NFC Championship (I realize they always did in the 80's, but I grew up in the 90's).
Most Memorable Game Attended

1998 MLB All-Star game at Coors Field in Denver. I actually have a Kevin Costner home-run ball from the celebrity game.
