7220sports.com Most-Read Stories of 2024

LARAMIE -- Time sure does fly.

We wrapped up our sixth season of Wyoming football coverage on this website in November. 7220sports.com was just a far-fetched idea -- one former colleagues in Michigan and Pittsburgh called "insane" -- until the summer of 2019.

I understand the pessimism on their part, too. They have never been here.

The Cowboys, outside of a certain gunslinger in Buffalo, aren't widely known to most. You can also throw in a population hovering just under 600,000. Those factors will earn you a doubt or two.

Again, they have never been here.

This operation has been widely successful because of you, the fans. That's why I knew this little venture would work. I used to be one. Those of you who know me personally, can throw a "rabid" in front of that statement.

While that has admittedly changed -- it has to in order to do this job correctly, in my opinion -- I am still a native son, first and foremost. I smile when you do. I grieve when you do. I cherish the moments, big and small, just like you do.

That is captured in the list I am about to share below. I am always curious what my most-read stories of the year are. It not only helps me determine what works and what doesn't, it also tells a story of its own.

Apparently you like postgame columns? "Tuck's Takes" shows up frequently. Of course, you love the breaking news, but also the feature stories about the players that wear your colors. I love telling those tales. Glad you enjoy reading them.

I decided today to leave out the "Rants and Raves" posts. Those are always a crowd favorite. That's not writing, though. That's compiled griping.

This inventory hits on all the emotions. That's the one element I attempt to bring to the surface each time I sit in front of this computer.
