Will Nike make Cowboys look like a winner?

New Wyoming head football coach Dave Christensen is bringing in a new sense of respectability in the recruiting process.

Wyoming athletics director Tom Burman has built quite a football schedule that includes hosting Texas in the second game of the season and traveling to Colorado the next week.

Now, the Cowboys will be dressed in new Nike uniforms. See full story, picture.

Better recruiting, better schedule, better uniforms. Like they say, "at least it is a start."

It's hard to find any fault with the way things are progressing for the Cowboys. Of course, they haven't played a game for Christensen, so the end result of winning and losing remains to be seen.

How about this: "To be the best, you have to play the best." Playing Texas certainly qualifies.

With the slicker look, will we be saying, "at least we look good."

I like the new unis, though. I especially like the fact that we have different uniform combinations for different situations.

At home, the regular combination will be a brown jersey with gold pants. For special home games, the Cowboys will also have the option of wearing a brown jersey with white pants. On the road, when UW plays on artificial turf, it will wear white jerseys and white pants. When playing on natural grass on the road, the combination will be white jerseys and gold pants.

I have no idea why, but I'll buy it.

Wait a minute; what about the all-yellow uniforms? Oh yeah, not real good memories. Box those puppies up.

That leads me to wonder; what do you do with the old uniforms? How about a big garage sale? I've got a few old T-shirts to get rid of as well.
