Wyoming Cowboys

The Wyoming Cowboys represent the University of Wyoming, competing in the Mountain West Conference from War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, one of the highest-elevation FBS venues. The Cowboys embody the spirit of the American West—tough, independent, and proud—with a program that has produced NFL talent and memorable upsets. Wyoming has cultivated a physical, run-first identity that thrives in the high altitude. The program competes in the Mountain West with the Bronze Boot rivalry against Colorado State. Cowboy fans pack War Memorial Stadium and brave the elements in one of college football's most challenging environments. Wyoming represents the Equality State with pride.

Wyoming football began in 1893, and the program achieved its greatest success under Lloyd Eaton and later Joe Tiller. The 1967 team went 10-1 and appeared in the Sugar Bowl. Josh Allen developed at Wyoming before becoming an NFL star. The Cowboys have produced numerous NFL players including Brian Hill and Marcus Epps. The Bronze Boot rivalry with Colorado State has been played since 1968. Wyoming's identity as a program that thrives in adversity—high altitude, harsh weather, remote location—has defined the Cowboys. The program represents one of America's least populous states on the national stage.
