We all know Josh Allen’s story. JUCO. 1,000 emails. No interest. People can throw dirt all they want, but this is a moment people in Wyoming will talk about for decades. He changed a city, and perhaps an entire state. (Via MW Network)

Christian Carroll caps a memorable night in Laradise.
Christian Carroll. 10-4 win over Cole Mirasola. Guy has found his home at UW. Beats Taye Ghadiali a week ago. Now adds Mirasola to his hit list. PSU wins the dual, 40-7.

Official attendance: 4,686 CRUSHED that attendance record.
Calm before the chaos. UW’s home wrestling dual attendance record is 2,566. UW hopes it crushes that as the Cowboys battle four-time defending national champs No. 1 Penn State. Set for 6 p.m.

In this metrics world, P4 teams aren’t coming to Laramie for hoops (and haven’t since 2019). According to Wicks, most don’t even pick up the phone. (BYU bought out twice) “The idea that somebody is going to come play us here that is a marquee opponent is honestly asinine.”
"I mean, crap, I think back when they won the 1943 national championship, they were taking trains over to the East Coast because nobody would come to the Mountain West.” This isn't a new issue for Cowboys hoops. Still a struggle in the modern era. https://t.co/MMKJa93odj

Sundance Wicks just went on a six-minute rant about the longtime issue of Power Fours unwilling to play at UW. “I will rent out Rib and Chop for that team. I will feed their staff New York strips and all the old fashioneds they want. I promise you, they still wouldn’t come.”

Imagine if the Falcons would have kicked two extra points in the fourth quarter: (Analytics have ruined the NFL)

Curious what the bowl ties will look like with the MW/PAC-12 next year.
LA Bowl is ending after Saturday’s game b/w Washington & Boise State, sources told @On3sports. Created in 2020, LA Bowl matched Mountain West champ vs. Pac-12 team. LA Bowl joins Bahamas Bowl as latest bowls to be canceled https://t.co/jvSsR5bveP
