SAN JOSE, Calif., -- After a 24-14 loss to San Jose State inside CEFCU Stadium Saturday afternoon, the Cowboys returned to the visiting locker room only to find personal items missing from their stalls.

Jewelry, shoes and electronics, including headphones and Airbuds were stolen, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.

"Yeah, it was especially brutal, especially after the loss," one source told 7220sports.com. "... When we got back, people's backpacks were open and stuff was scattered all around the locker room."

That same source said there were no locks or safes in the room.

"It was just backpacks on the ground," he continued. "People left shoes in the open, but it felt safe because they had a security guard standing outside the locker room."

This isn't the first instance of a visiting locker room being robbed in California during this calendar year.

Four Colorado players told police in Pasadena last October that a number of items were missing after a game against UCLA at the famed Rose Bowl.

"The items stolen were three “diamond-plated” necklaces with medallions bearing the players’ initials, a pair of headphones and miscellaneous football equipment, according to a police report," Katie Langford of the Denver Post wrote.

Theft is considered a felony in the state of California if the value reaches more than $950.

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 Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan 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.
