Background - Wyoming Cowboys
The nickname "Cowboys" was applied to Wyoming athletic teams as early as 1891 - two years before the first official football game. The story is that the Wyoming pick-up football team appealed to a 220 pound cowpuncher, Fred Bush, for help in a game against the Cheyenne Soldiers. Bush signed up for a course or two and came out for the team. When he trotted onto the field decked out in a checkered shirt and Cowboy hat, someone yelled, "Hey, look at the Cowboy!" Since many of the members of the team were also ex-cowboys, the name stuck.
Cowboy Joe Cowboy Joe IV, a fourth generation Wyoming mascot, trots around War Memorial Stadium after each Cowboy touchdown, a tradition which started in 1950 when the Farthing Family of Cheyenne made a generous donation of a young pony to become Wyoming's mascot. This beautiful little pony is very popular with Cowboy fans of all ages.
Steamboat The logo on the Wyoming football helmet depicts a Cowboy riding a bucking horse. This symbol has been a part of the University of Wyoming Athletics Department since the early 1920's, when UW Equipment Manger Deane Hunton obtained a photograph of a cowboy, Guy Holt, riding the world famous bucking horse Steamboat. The photo was taken at the Albany County Fairgrounds in 1903. Steamboat was born on a ranch between Laramie and Bosler in 1901, and is regarded as one of the greatest bucking horses ever. The photo was made into the logo used by UW athletic teams. In later years the symbol more closely resembled the logo on the state's automobile license plates which depicts another horse and rider. Also world famous, that bucking horse was called "Deadman".
While there are differing opinions on exactly which horse and rider is depicted on UW's athletic uniforms today, it is the symbol that is important. The bucking horse and rider represents the toughness, and the never-say-die spirit that is Wyoming. To that end, a statue called "Fanning a Twister" was erected at the entrance to War Memorial Stadium in 1991. The statue is of a bucking horse and rider. It honors the symbolism of the Wyoming football logo and the proud history of the Wyoming football team.

Brown and Gold The story behind the colors of the University of Wyoming dates back to 1895. In the Spring of that year, the first ever UW Alumni Banquet was held. Decorations for the banquet included Brown-Eyed Susans, a flower native of Southeastern Wyoming. The Alumni were so impressed with the colors (brown and yellow) and the beauty of the flowers that they decided to select these colors as the official school colors at UW. In recent years the colors have been modified to brown and gold.
The Bronze Boot The annual Wyoming-Colorado State football game has evolved into one of the most bitterly contested rivalries in college football. The teams have waged the "Border War" every year but six since the schools began playing in 1899. In fact, this is the oldest interstate rivalry west of the Mississippi River. In 1968, the ROTC detachments of the respective schools initiated the Bronze Boot, a traveling trophy awarded to the winner of the contest each year. The Boot was originally worn in Vietnam by a CSU graduate. The boot has rested in UW's Fieldhouse in 19 of the 36 years since its inception. The Bronze Boot has become one of the most famous traveling trophies in college football.
Fight Song Ragtime Cowboy Joe
"He always sings Raggy music to the cattle as he swings back and forward in the saddle, on a horse - a pretty good horse! He's got a syncopated gaiter, and you ought to hear the meter to the roar of his repeater; how they run - yes run! - when they hear him 'a-comin', cause the western folks all know, he's a high-falootin', rootin, tootin', son of a gun from ol' Wyoming, Ragtime Cowboy Talk about your Cowboy, Ragtime Cowboy Joe.
