![]() The Laramie Football Ledger |
| Off Season 2024 |
| In a surprising twist that has sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, the Wyoming Cowboys have made a bold move by hiring David Andrews, the highly successful head coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, to lead their program. Andrews, who orchestrated three consecutive Grey Cup championships in the CFL, takes the reins from Craig Bohl, who recently retired. The decision to bypass defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel, the presumed heir apparent, in favor of Andrews marks a dramatic shift for the Cowboys. Andrews brings a no-nonsense approach to Laramie, emphasizing hard-nosed football, local recruiting, and smart play. Known for his philosophy of building from the trenches, Andrews believes in winning the line of scrimmage and leveraging that foundation to control the game. “We aren't going to be running a lot of trick plays or complicated RPOs,” Andrews explained. “Line up against your man, beat him one-on-one, and do it for 60 minutes.” Wyoming fans have every reason to be excited. Andrews' track record speaks for itself, and his commitment to old-school football values aligns perfectly with the Cowboys' ethos. He sees the Mountain West region as an underappreciated talent pipeline and aims to make Wyoming the top choice for local recruits. "Every kid from Bosman to Roswell should have our program in mind when they think college," Andrews said. As the Cowboys prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on how quickly Andrews can implement his system and elevate Wyoming football to new heights. His promise to maintain the gritty, tough brand of football that fans have come to love is a reassurance that the program is in good hands. "Our expectation is no less than being at the championship game for the Mountain West Conference," Andrews declared. The anticipation in Laramie is palpable, with the fanbase eagerly awaiting the dawn of a new, gritty era under Coach Andrews' leadership. |

PAC-12 Scores in Overtime: New TV Deal Secures Conference’s Future
In a move that can only be described as miraculous, the PAC-12 Conference has managed to secure a last-minute TV deal, preserving its storied legacy and ensuring its survival in the ever-competitive landscape of college athletics. As the clock ticked down, with speculation and rumors swirling about potential defections and conference realignments, PAC-12 Commissioner George Kliavkoff pulled off a buzzer-beater that left fans and stakeholders alike in sheer jubilation.
The new TV contract, rumored to be worth upwards of $500 million annually, was inked with a major broadcasting conglomerate, solidifying the PAC-12’s status as a premier athletic conference. The deal encompasses traditional television rights as well as extensive digital streaming options, catering to the modern viewer's demands and ensuring a broad reach for the conference’s marquee events.
A United Front
For weeks, the PAC-12 had been teetering on the brink, with whispers of schools exploring options elsewhere. But in a show of unprecedented solidarity, the conference’s member institutions stood together, recognizing the value of their collective history and the potential of their future. The new TV deal not only secures financial stability but also enhances the brand visibility of the PAC-12, ensuring its teams remain competitive on the national stage.
“This is a monumental day for the PAC-12,” said Commissioner Kliavkoff in a press conference announcing the deal. “Our commitment to excellence, both on and off the field, remains unwavering. This partnership allows us to continue showcasing the incredible talent and rich traditions that define the PAC-12.”
The Impact on Member Schools
The financial windfall from the TV deal is expected to bolster athletic programs across the conference, providing necessary resources for facilities, recruitment, and overall program development. Schools like USC, Oregon, and Washington, which had been at the center of realignment rumors, can now refocus on their athletic and academic missions without the looming threat of conference instability.
Coaches and athletic directors expressed their relief and optimism following the announcement. “This deal is a game-changer,” said Washington State Athletic Director Pat Chun. “It ensures that we can continue to compete at the highest level while providing our student-athletes with the best possible experience.”
Looking Ahead
With the new TV deal in place, the PAC-12 is poised to enter a new era of prosperity. The conference has plans to innovate its sports coverage, leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance fan engagement and bring PAC-12 sports to a global audience. This strategic move not only cements the PAC-12’s place in the current collegiate athletic hierarchy but also sets the stage for future growth and success.
In the end, the PAC-12’s last-minute save wasn’t just about securing a TV deal; it was about preserving a legacy, championing the spirit of competition, and uniting a conference that has always prided itself on innovation and excellence. As the dust settles and the new season approaches, one thing is clear: the PAC-12 is here to stay.Comment

Re: Wyoming Cowboys Dynasty: Fronteer Football (NCAA 25)

As the 2024 Mountain West Conference season approaches, excitement and anticipation are at an all-time high. Boise State remains the team to beat, boasting a roster filled with depth and talent that promises another strong season. The Broncos' offensive firepower and stout defense make them early favorites to top the standings.
Fresno State and Air Force are poised to challenge Boise State. Fresno State's high-octane offense, led by a veteran quarterback, and Air Force's disciplined, run-heavy attack will make both teams formidable opponents. San Diego State, known for its defensive prowess, and Utah State, with its playmaking abilities, are also expected to be competitive.
The wildcard in the conference is Wyoming. Under the leadership of new head coach David Andrews, the Cowboys are generating a lot of buzz. Andrews, coming off a successful tenure in the CFL, has brought a hard-nosed, physical style of play to Laramie. His emphasis on winning the line of scrimmage and playing smart, fundamental football has rejuvenated the program. Junior quarterback Evan Svoboda will be crucial in leading the offense, while the defense, anchored by senior standouts, aims to be one of the toughest in the conference.
If Andrews' strategies pay off, Wyoming could surprise many and become a serious contender for the Mountain West title. Andrews' approach of recruiting locally and focusing on building a strong, cohesive team could be the key to a breakout season for the Cowboys.
Predicted Standings:
Boise State
Fresno State
Air Force
San Diego State
Wyoming
Utah State
Nevada
UNLV
Colorado State
New Mexico
San Jose State
Hawaii
Boise State is expected to lead the pack, with Fresno State and Air Force close behind. Wyoming, with its potential under Coach Andrews, could finish in the upper half of the standings, making for an exciting and unpredictable season.Comment

Thoughts on the text side? Too small? I'm not sure I love the roster tables either I think maybe simplifying them? Removing the brown background?Comment
