NOT THE KIND OF SEXY COUGAR YOU EXPECTED

Wyoming plays BYU this weekend. This marks an important point in the season for Dave Christensen and the Cowboys, who can continue the upward trend in a rebuilding year by getting above .500 and defeating a powerful conference foe in BYU. There is historical resonance here, too: this game marks the 40th anniversary of the Black 14 game in 1969. 14 black members of the Cowboys squad were kicked off the team that year for planning to wear black armbands in protest of BYU's policies of racial discrimination. (The official policy of discrimination was lifted in 1978.) Wyoming won anyway by a margin of 40-7, but the incident caused a national stir anyway, and led to further incidents like this one against Colorado State in 1970.

Most notably, when BYU's basketball team played at Colorado State the following winter (1970), protestors threw raw eggs and a flaming molotov cocktail on the floor, and a piece of angle iron struck a newspaper photographer, drawing blood and knocking him unconscious. Approximately 50 blacks and whites charged onto the floor at halftime to disrupt a performance by BYU's Cougarettes, and police were called in to quell the riot.

That's how one properly storms the floor. Enough history: bring on the Cougar dong, please.

COUGARDONGWOOO

Ahh, that's much better. (HT: The geniuses at Shaggy Bevo.) Nothing clears up a moment of solemn reflection like a poorly placed Cougar tail and one kid in an orange hat who looks reaaaaaaallllly psyched about his mascot packing furry womb wand the size of a Claymore in his holy undergarments.

Yesterday Colorado wanted to wear powder blue in protest. Today we find out CSU was straight bumrushin’ fools?

A molotov cocktail? That is the most hardcore shit eva’.

They just don’t make riots like they used to.

Also any truth to the rumors that this molotov cocktail incident is the real reason they don’t let you bring fifths in anymore?

“threw raw eggs and a flaming molotov cocktail on the floor, and a piece of angle iron struck a newspaper photographer, drawing blood and knocking him unconscious. "

This doesn’t make sense. Why were they playing the game in Starkeville?

I was making a mental note to tell some friends the amazing fact that a flaming molotov cocktail was thrown onto the court when I read on to see the phrase “womb wand.” It looks like womb wand is going to be what gets relayed to my friends.

@1 @4 Early ‘70s was REAL, man. Anybody wants to wax nostalgic about the Good Ol’ Days on you, have them look up a few headlines from ‘70-’75, along with crime stats, unemployment and inflation figures, Army casualties, etc. A Molotov cocktail was just a friendly hello in 1970.

Ah the Mormons. Will their institutional retardedness ever cease to amaze me?

You know, the Black 14 thing is still very much contested history out here. Not everyone agrees that it’s a shameful piece of UW history (including the Mormons in that piece linked above), and I’ve had more than one Pokes fan tell me they agree with Eaton kicking these guys off the team for ASKING HIS PERMISSION to protest BYU’s ridiculous policy.

That said, the university does all it can to make what amends are possible.

as my old pappy used to say: “if a man’s got a disagreement with another man, the civil- heck, the downright human thing to do in that situation is to chuck a piece of angle iron at ’em.”

Apparently in the 70’s CSU had some sort of “Spring Fling” weekend where they had kegs just sitting out around random points on campus (don’t know if it was 3.2 beer or not) clearly before the term “risk management” even existed. And #3, are you suggesting that some freakish hybrid offspring of CSU and MSU grads would be a cantankerous riot waiting to happen?

Geniuses?

You give us WAY too much credit.

Best omelette EVER.

The ninny lion looks like he’s taking a fur covered double ender in the hanky. One can guess why it’s actually called Happy Valley.

Not ninny lion….not Penn State…..

Damn, that had such promise…..briefly

-That’s nothing. You should see when Mormons get together to play basketball on a Friday night.

so that nagging feeling I get when leaving for a game is not about tickets but leaving my angle iron behind?

In CSU’s defense, we’re talking about an all-Mormon dance team. They were probably enraged by the complete lack of rhythm or bare flesh.

I’m just glad Colorado State doesn’t play in Columbus or people would blame the Buckeyes.

I’m sorry, I need to revise comment #9 above, as it is now approx. 6 PM MST:
