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.

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.

The former Wyoming assistant coach saw his team slump at the end of this season, losing their final four games of the season to finish 2-6 in Mountain West Conference play and 4-8 overall. Despite a 65-69 overall record, Long led the Lobos to five bowl games.
