A Wyoming Cowboy Christmas Wishlist

Dear Santa,
How are you doing? I am well. Are the reindeer ready for the big trip?
I know Christmas is getting very close but I wanted to make sure that you got this Christmas wishlist. I'm writing this list on behalf of Wyoming Cowboy fans everywhere. We've dealt with a lot of ups and downs this year but you will most definitely see our names on the good list. Don't confuse us with those naughty Rammies please.
I hope this list isn't asking for too much but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. Not everything needs to be delivered on Christmas Day. Feel free to spread these out over the course of 2012.
- A conference championship in football or basketball. Or both if you are feeling extra generous. It has been so long since we've celebrated a title and this seems like the perfect time. Those back to back 10 win basketball seasons almost put us over the edge.
- Please have The Mtn. get rid of Todd Christensen and his awful mustache. At the very least make it so that he never broadcasts another Wyoming game. Nothing like the depressing preachings of Eeyore to ruin a good battle on the gridiron.
- Post season play for the Cowboy basketball team. I know we discussed a championship earlier but a post season tournament would be a nice consolation gift if you can't deliver our first request. If the NCAA tournament is too much then an NIT berth would satisfy us as well. Don't go cheap and give us a CBI game. We've been fooled by that trick once and it's not happening again.

Hey everyone. SB Nation would very much like to hear your opinions
and feedback on the user experience on this site. We are always
trying to improve user experiences, navigation and brand integrations
and your feedback is valuable in this process. All responses will be
kept confidential and the entire process will only take a few
minutes. Also, as incentive to participate, for the 3 SB Nation sites
with the highest percentage of completed surveys, SB Nation will make
a $500 donation to the charity of our choice, in our name. Do it for
the kids...
To take the survey, click here:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MWM6363
Since Cowboy Altitude is a smaller site that means that everyone who completes a survey is a big percentage towards us being a top three site. If we do win I'll post a poll where the readers can choose the Wyoming charity that receives the $500 award.

August 31st is not only college football eve it is also our birthday. That means that Cowboy Altitude has now been apart of the SB Nation family for one whole year now. During that time we've covered tragic stories, firings, hirings, tracked airplanes and even covered a few wins.
This blog did exist prior to joining SB Nation but it wasn't that great. If you still don't think this site is any good then don't hold your breath for it to get any better. Those of you that do read the site and don't hate it we appreciate you.
There is enough cake so that all four of my readers can enjoy a huge slice of cake. Tell one of your buddies to read the site and I'll send them an apple pie since we are out of cake. If anyone else wants some cake or apple pie send me a check for $30 to cover the cost of baking and shipping.
