Potato Bowl: Wyoming vs. CMU

When I see Wyoming's football team, I always think of Jeff Bower's flirtation with them.

Supposedly Bower accepted the job there way back when he was an up-and-coming young coach. Then he flew back to Hattiesburg, told the staff "we're going to Wyoming, guys!", and their reaction was basically "Oui? You learnin' French, Jeff?"

Could be one of those Phil Collins / drowning man stories, I guess. Always thought it rang true, though.

He was never going. It was his rookie play for more money. Just like when he “interviewed” with UGA.

In support of what you posted, I doubt he'd have won many games there. His success here came in some very fertile recruiting grounds. Trying to make it happen in CFL country would have been an uphill climb.
