Cowboy basketball on the tube

Although basketball season is still down the road a bit, it's never too early to think basketball. UW finalized the men's basketball schedule on Wednesday, while the Mountain West Conference released the television schedule on Tuesday.

The Cowboys will be on the tube 16 times this season -- 15 in MWC play. The long non-conference viewing is Dec. 15 when the 'Pokes travel to Tennessee. The game tips off at 5 p.m. (MDT) on ESPN U.

The Wyoming men are scheduled to be televised in all but one league game -- the Jan. 27 home matchup with Utah.

Here's the UW men's basketball television schedule:
Dec. 15 -- Wyoming at Tennessee, 5 p.m. (ESPN U)
Jan. 6 -- CSU at Wyoming, 6 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Jan. 9 -- SDSU at Wyoming, 4 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Jan. 12 -- Wyoming at TCU, 5:30 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Jan. 16 -- New Mexico at Wyoming, 1:30 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Jan. 20 -- Wyoming at BYU, 6 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Jan. 30 --Wyoming at Air Force, 1:30 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Feb. 3 -- UNLV at Wyoming, 8 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Feb. 6 -- Wyoming at CSU, 7 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Feb. 10 -- Wyoming at SDSU, 8:30 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Feb. 13 -- TCU at Wyoming, 1:30 p.m. (The Mtn.)
Feb. 17 -- Wyoming at New Mexico, 7 p.m. (CBS College Sports)
Feb. 27 -- Wyoming at Utah, 4 p.m. (The Mtn.)
March 2 -- Air Force at Wyoming, 7:30 p.m. (The Mtn.)
March 6 -- Wyoming at UNLV, 2 p.m. (Versus).

Just a little note: Versus is still off of DIRECTV, so you might want to make other plans to watch the Cowboys on March 6.

Also, the Wyoming football game at Colorado on Saturday is on FOX College Sports. In the state of Wyoming, the telecast will be available through Bresnan Cable’s Sports Entertainment Package. For DIRECTV customers, it will be on Channel 617. It won’t be televised on FOX Sports Rocky Mountain.

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...
