Crank it up
Late in Tuesday's Wyoming football practice, the sound system went off. Cranked loud, the music -- hard rock and rap -- was near concert levels.
The last time I heard music that loud was at a Cheap Trick concert. It took two days to get the ringing out of my ears.
Tuesday wasn't quite that bad, but it was surprising. I expected to see the Wyoming coaching staff freaking out, waving at the press box to stop. As it turned out, they had requested it like a teenager calling the radio station to play his favorite Top 40 hit.
The coaches wanted the Cowboys to deal with the noise level that they are going to have to deal with Saturday at Provo against BYU.
Wyoming sophomore quarterback Dax Crum said it was beneficial, especially after struggling with the noise early.
"The first few plays we were kind of discombobulated out there," Crum said. "Hopefully, I won't look like a chicken with my head cut off out there. I think I'll be all right."
Stewart getting closer
Wyoming freshman receiver/returner Brandon Stewart is back out on the practice field, without pads, looking to get back after a shoulder injury suffered in preseason practices. Stewart ran into a brick wall called Ward Dobbs.
Stewart was running pass plays with ease and could be able to go in a couple of weeks.
"(Trainer) Robb (Williams) likens his injury to a car wreck; he was t-boned," Wyoming coach Joe Glenn said. "He broke his shoulder. So, it's going to be another couple of weeks, I'm sure. But, just to see him out here running ... he's a player, he's a real good player."
No Nebraska
Talk and published reports in the Omaha World Herald had Wyoming and Nebraska close to inking a deal that would have the Cowboys and Huskers playing a four-game series. The first would be in Invesco Field in Denver, with one game in Laramie and two in Lincoln.
It's not going to happen, Glenn said.
"Tom (Burman) tried pretty hard," Glenn said. "They don't want to give up their home check, is the way I understood it. Recently, their football ops guy called me and wondered if we wanted to come to Lincoln two or three times. Texas is coming here and we'll go to Austin twice. We offered that deal to Nebraska and never heard back. They want to play at home and they don't want to come to the Rocky Mountains, even on a two for one deal. It doesn't look like we're going anywhere with that."
Glenn said Burman even tried the Invesco scenerio, but still had no luck.
