Once a Cowboy - always a Cowboy. Very good choice for Wyoming (my baby brother has his BA from there).

Is Vombauer staying around on staff or did he leave already? Seemed like a good fit as an assistant...

Thats great. My friend Matt Brown almost went to UW before committing to ISU. He probably would have been a Cowboy if they hired Branch earlier.

Mark told me about this last week, he just was not sure at the time. Some of the things he was thinking about, moving so far away from his Mother, John will be at OSU till he gets tired of it (does anybody really see that happening?).
So if he was going to get a head coaching job he would have to leave, although it would have been nice if OU had fired spates so that Mark could have stayed in state.

Hopefully an OSU cowboy can put those Wyoming cowboys on the map.

I personally adore Spates, so I don't want to see him fired, but I will say this. OU's AD is the same guy who let Wes Roper languish at Mizzou for years, so don't look for him to be so quick to fire.

Looks like he is jumping into a decent spot, with a number 11 ranked recruiting class. I was wondering when one of Smith's assistants was going to get a big time job.
