Talking about Sheep Week
It's all about beating the sheep this week for the Wyoming Cowboys.
Sorry, it's all about beat the Colorado State University Rams for the Wyoming Cowboys.
For you actual sheep that surf the web, I apologize.
Wyoming turned its attention to Colorado State for Friday's game about the time that Cowboys head coach Dave Christensen walked out of the locker room Saturday after the 45-10 loss to TCU.
With the way things went in the second half for Wyoming, maybe sooner than that.
While the UW coaches and players didn't say it publicly, the CSU game has at least been what most UW fans have been pointing to since the Cowboys knocked off San Diego State the previous week.
One more win and the Cowboys are in a bowl game. Yes, six wins just make them bowl eligible, but with the Mountain West Conference affiliated with five bowls, a win over the Rams would give Wyoming fifth place outright in the league.
Of course, a win over TCU last Saturday would have given the Cowboys that sixth win, but let's be realistic: the Horned Frogs are the 4th-ranked team in the country and possibly better than that. A Wyoming upset would have monumental and in many minds, very, very, very unlikely.
Beating a down CSU team that has dropped seven straight games is more likely.
Every UW player and coach interviewed this week by the local media will talk about how it is important for the Cowboys to win in order to get to a bowl game. They'll talk about it until they turn green.
Whoops, bad choice of color.
They'll talk about with brown and gold in their veins. That sounds better.
