#GoPokes

To say that I'm excited about this upcoming football season would be a massive understatement. I'm always pumped about a new season, but I'm especially into it after last year. Needless to say, we didn't necessarily get the season that we're used to.

Thanks a lot, COVID.

However, things are looking up this season and I think the Pokes are going to be turning some heads. After a 2-4 finish in 2020, I think we're all hoping for a better outcome this year. Keep in mind we only played conference games last year and two games got canceled.

This year, I believe, will be a good one.

This year our Pokes have a full schedule, complete with four non-conference games and eight conference games. They'll split their time hosting six of those games and hitting the road for six. Wyoming will also find themselves on television several times this year.

Here's what we're looking at this season.

How Many Medals Have Wyoming-Born Athletes Won at the Olympics?

Wyoming isn't represented on Team USA for the 2020 (in 2021) Olympics in Tokyo. But, athletes born in Wyoming have competed for the gold a handful of times over the last century.

According to the folks at BeenVerified.com, seven Wyoming-born Olympians have competed on the world's largest stage.

Since the 1932 LA games, these competitors earned four Olympic medals; one gold, two silver, and a bronze. Wrestling, Track and Field, and Rowing are the evens where Wyoming-natives have shined.



Wyoming Inspired 'Ben & Jerry's' Ice Cream Flavors Just In Time For Summer

Ice cream craftsmen 'Ben & Jerry's' have been pumping out unique flavors for years, but what if they put out flavors inspired by Wyoming?

You probably know all the classic B&J flavors like 'Cherry Garcia', 'Chunky Monkey' and 'Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough', but we feel Vermont's finest should showcase some of the Cowboy State's finest.
