Wyoming Cowboys Football: A Mother’s Day Tribute

LARAMIE -- No one rides for the brand like mom.

Especially these ones listed below. All of their sons play or coach football at the University of Wyoming.

These special ladies come from all over the globe, literally.

Defensive end Eltoum Murgus, for instance, was born nearly 7,800 miles away in Sudan, a country located in northeast Africa. That makes Ocean Springs, Mississippi seam like a hop, skip and a jump. That's where new punter Bart Edmiston Jr. is from.

In this Mother's Day Tribute, California, Arizona, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Nevada, Illinois, Ohio and Wyoming are represented.

So, on this day, we ask you to scroll through some photos. Some taken as recently as last week at the annual spring game in Laramie. Others, a blast from the past.

If we didn't get a picture from you, please feel free to throw one right in the comments. Heck, whether you are a player or not, let's give mom her due.

* 2022 Wyoming Tribute to Mom

(On a personal note, I want to thank the mom's that helped raise me: My mother Kathy O'Brien Brent, grandma Nellie O'Brien and aunt Kari O'Brien. With a little help from my grandpa Vernon O'Brien the first 12 years, these three have always been there for me. I definitely wouldn't be covering my home-state university if it wasn't for their unbelievable patience and love. 

Has anyone else had to have an intervention because they go to too many Pokes games?)
