    These are nervous days in and around the University of Wyoming football program. The Cowboys did a remarkable job – aided, in part, by a forgiving schedule down the stretch – to climb out of a 2-6 hole. They won their final four games and finished the regular season at 6-6. In a normal year, that would be enough to earn the Cowboys a bowl invitation somewhere. But this season has been anything but normal for UW. So of course there are 81 bowl-eligible teams for 78 spots after this past wee...
