Hating the off season, I thought it would be interesting to share some of the more useless information that is stored in my brain, about Wyoming Cowboy football & history.
Question: Prior to the 1975 season, who was the QB out of Los Angeles that Wyoming was recruiting, but later stopped recruiting (as the coach decided to go a different direction), that went on to have successful college and NFL careers? Ah, what might have been.

Not Talboom, but close to that era. He was one cool dude. In his first two years he was also on the swimming team. I noticed an obituary about him - he died late last year. He is in the Cowboy Hall of Fame.

If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

The interesting part of this stat is that none of the three were captains as seniors.

He came to Wyoming in 1952 as a halfback before becoming the school’s first throwing quarterback. He led the Cowboys in passing three years and in total offense and scoring for two years.zappinpoke wrote:Joe Mastrogiovanni?Adv8RU12 wrote:What Cowboy honorable mention All-American athlete played halfback, QB, punted, kicked field goals, played safety on the football team and also lettered in baseball?
He also was a punter and placekicker, and played on defense. He was twice selected to the All-Skyline first-team and once a second-team selection, Mastrogiovanni led the nation in rushing the first eight weeks of the 1955 season, before finishing second nationally and earning honorable mention All-American honors from AP and UPI.
The Cowboys were 19-11-1 from 1953-55. A gifted athlete, Mastrogiovanni also competed for the Wyoming swimming team and was a letterman on the 1955 Cowboy baseball team as a catcher.
Talk about doing it all, At that time it's actually really quite impressive he was able to pull all of that off.
