Sticking to a schedule

And you thought your schedule was busy at this time of the year.

Here's a look at what Wyoming head football coach Dave Christensen has going for him between his new job with the Cowboys and the end of his offensive coordinator gig with Missouri. Christensen is also coaching with the Tigers through its Alamo Bowl game Dec. 29 against Northwestern.

“I am going to head out (Tuesday) morning recruiting and I’ll recruit until Thursday for Wyoming," Christensen said at the Monday news conference in the War Room at the Rochelle Athletic Center. "I'll fly back to Columbia and we’ll practice Friday and Saturday for the bowl game. I’ll fly back here on Sunday, we’ll have a staff meeting Sunday night. We’ll recruit Monday through Thursday again. I’ll go back to Missouri and practice Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and the 23rd we’ll travel to San Antonio and coach the bowl game there on the 29th. I might rest for a day and we'll get back here after the first of the year. We’ll meet for two days and go out recruiting. Then, the national convention comes and we’ll skip that this year and come back and work here. We’ll get out and recruit some more."

Now that's what I call being detail oriented.

Mr. Thompson goes to Washington

No, this is not a remake of Jimmy Stewart's 1939 classic movie, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington." Mr. Thompson is Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson, who spent Thursday and Friday pleading his case that the current BCS football playoff system ... well, kind of sucks. The only problem is Congress is not in session. Evidently, they are on the President Obama World Tour drumming up support for the porkulus bill ... uh, I mean stimulus bill that was signed earlier in the week. Thompson is spreading the word to people who will spread the word to Congress when their travel expenses run out and they have to return to Washington. You have to give Thompson an A for effort. At least he is trying to get something done. Unfortunately, he's probably barking up the wrong tree. Putting the BCS in the hands of Congress is like having your alcoholic friend watch a six-pack of Bud Lite for you that you are anxiously looking forward to at the end of the day. I'd...

More "I hate Brett Favre" ranting

I probably should see somebody about this, but I can't stop dumping on Brett Favre . Well, this seems to be normal for most Packers' fans these days. I caught a blog by Green Bay Press-Gazette assistant online editor Jeff Ash that I found amusing. Ash blog I kind of fell off my ESPN and NFL Network boycott last night and this morning. I admit, I did check out both networks. Well, at least until the latest Favre love-fest . Of course, it was just a warm-up for tonight's Vikings-Chiefs preseason game. More loving to come.

Thanks for the memories

As I put my watch up to my ear, I expect to hear click, click, click, as each second moves forward. Kind of like my current days as a sportswriter ... click, click, click. For some reason, though, the watch is silent as it continues time. Again, kind of like my current days of operating Wyoming Sports.org. Yikes, cliche' overload here. The simple fact is my sports website is probably on its last leg. I say probably because in two weeks I will begin a new job as news copy editor/designer for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle in Cheyenne. Not only will I not have the time to cover local sporting events in Laramie, I can see my new employers likely not wanting me to compete against the WTE's fine sports staff. It makes perfect sense and I totally understand. When the position opened a while back, with my wife's blessing and encouragement, I decided to apply for the job. Friday night I was offered the position and I accepted. I do admit it will be a little strange not being a sportswr...
