LARAMIE -- There was a lot more to talk about this week than what will likely be San Diego State's final game inside War Memorial Stadium.

Oh, we broke that down, too, but Cody Tucker and Jared Newland also took a look back at an impressive win over Air Force, the Cowboys first victory of the 2024 season, along with Mountain West expansion and Tom Burman's comments about conference realignment.

Wyoming's Director of Athletics was as open as he could be about the recent movement, including his thoughts on Utah State's departure, whether or not the Border War will survive this madness and his bluntness about the new-look Pac-12 never becoming a "Power-4" league.

Make sure to check out this week's 7220sports.com Kickoff Show right HERE. You can also listen to us on 1290 KOWB in Laramie during your tailgate. The show is scheduled to air from 11 to noon.

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert GagliardiJared NewlandRyan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
