They outspent the first three schools on the schedule of their coming football season — Wyoming, New Mexico and Mississippi — by nearly $18.5 million that year. Combined.
Three Colorado State football players that were charged with disorderly conduct after a street brawl have been expelled from the school. Coach McElwain says that Mike Orakpo, Nordly Capri and Colton Paulhaus will never play for the Rams again.
I'm late linking to this but on Tuesday night Jeremy Mauss of Mountain West Connection was kind enough to have me as a guest on his podcast.
We discussed several topics including: The loss of the Mtn, Wyoming spring football, CSU Ram troubles and the top teams in the Mountain West for 2012. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. I had to call in on my cellphone so it's not the greatest sound quality. Hope you like it.
If Lehigh or Norfolk State ruined your bracket then you now have a chance to redeem yourself. I created a second chance group so this time you can prove that you really are a genius.
It just deals with the Sweet 16 teams to make things easier.

There is plenty of white snow in and all around Arena-Auditorium. Now the Cowboys want make the inside covered in white this Saturday. It's the Cowboys Vs Cancer game and the school will be selling white t shirts to benefit cancer research.
I didn't realize that 1 in 2 men will get cancer during their lifetime. My father dealt with Leukemia three times and he is a survivor thanks to a new procedure that was developed at the University of Arizona hospital. Please do your part to help the Cowboys beat Boise State and for mankind to find a cure to this plague.
So the results were tabulated and apparantly my use of "reverse alphabetical" doesn't mesh well with other voters. All the votes are tabulated and the outliers are pointed out and shunned.
My ballot took home titles for: Mr. Bold (highest average error), Coulter/Kos Award (Highest Bias), and Highest Swing (Biggest Difference over previous ballot).
Sadly my effort was only able to net Wyoming a #33 overall ranking. Click on the link to see how it all breaks down.
I've never seen this before but Utah Valley actually puts their home basketball broadcast on Youtube. So if you have two hours to kill and want to watch the game again here is your chance. Or if you missed it earlier then you can check it out.
The last five minutes are very tense and worth rewatching. At the start of the video you can actually see their warehouse like arena being converted to a basketball court.
I love the one commercial for a restaurant that airs multiple times. It never tells you name of the eatery or where it is located. Genius marketing!
The Wyoming wrestling program has been impressive the last several years under coach Mark Branch. They may had their biggest moment under Branch last night by defeating the #9 Oklahoma Sooners.
This was the first ever victory for the Cowboys over the Sooners and happens just two days after the Pokes fell to Oklahoma State 24-17. This team certainly deserves more attention for the success they've had. If you're interested in covering Wyoming Wrestling for Cowboy Altitude please send me an email.
Video highlights of the dual are available here.
