Sometimes it’s hard to be a parent who has kids in sports, when they win, it’s great but when they loose, it can be pretty saddening. But, as my parents always believed, it’s just a part of growing up, and sometimes loosing can teach our kids how to be better sports when it comes to loosing, and that they gave it their all and should be proud of themselves. It's an opportunity for kids to learn by the mistakes, take it on the chin, and prepare to win next time. But what if your child’s high school football team looses 91 to 0?!!!

Cabela's, the World's Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear has a lot of appeal to Wyomingites.  The store caters and fits perfectly into the Wyoming lifestyle.  There is only one problem.  Wyoming doesn't have a Cabela's.  Here are 10 reasons why Casper needs a Cabela's.

While big cities are great for visiting, I don’t think I’ll ever move to another town with more than 120 thousand people. Casper has around 60K, and that’s fine with me. What do you dig about our little city? I asked you to take our poll the other day, and now I have some results: As you can see, the people are the best part about Casper...

Two words that mean the exact same thing are pretty common in the English language.  Some of these terms are a regional saying or just how one's parents used them, so they are inherited.  Certain words, more than others seem to spark debate.  Do you say "pop" or "soda"?  "Dinner" or "supper"? The list goes on.  Let's settle this once and for all.

I watched many of the championship games over the weekend, and I have to say, that the Nebraska/Wisconsin game was awful.

What up people? This has been the weekend of the backup quarterback. Both Chicago and San Francisco played Monday night without their starting quarterbacks, due to concussions. San Francisco tore up the Bear’s defense in the first half...

What a crazy week for football! I certainly didn’t think the Bengals would come out on top of the Giants; I did think that Atlanta was due for a loss, and they got one.

Who is on the hot seat now?

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day-- also known in Wyoming as Equality Day.  I think it would be somewhat remiss of us to let this day pass without attempting to comment on it's significance to our past and also to our present lives.
