University of Wyoming Football: The Wyoming Cowboy football team has been practicing for about 1 ½ weeks, and even though the first game is 3 weeks from today, the coaching staff is already trying to put some kind of game plan together.

The Pokes open up at Akron on Thursday, August 28th.

Head Coach Jay Sawvel says the plan may have to undergo some adjustments and a few things may have to be improvised between now and then.

Last year Akron went 4-8 on the season, including a 3-5 record in the Mid-American Conference.

This year the Zips will not participate in any kind of post-season play, because the program has been placed on a 1-year ban by the NCAA for failing to meet the Progress Rate score.

Wyoming Legion Baseball: The AA Northwest Regional Tournament started yesterday in Billings, Montana.

The Gillette Roughriders delivered a 22-3 beatdown on Anchorage, Alaska in the first game.

Up next is the 2-time defending Montana State Champs from Missoula, starting at 4pm.

Meanwhile the A-League Northwest Regional Tournament starts today in Burley, Idaho.

The Wyoming Champ Lovell Mustangs take on the host team in the last game of the day at 7:30pm.

Colorado Rockies Baseball: The Colorado Rockies were swept at home by Toronto, losing yesterday 20-1.

In that 3-game series, the Blue Jays outscored the Rocks 45-6 and outhit them 63-20.

Today is an off day on the schedule.

Tomorrow, Colorado will start a 6-game road trip with 3 games at Arizona, followed by 3 at St. Louis.
