The Burrall Blog – Cowboys’ Perspective
9/30/09 – 4:20 PM
The Dallas Cowboys, we mean. They’ll come to Denver this Sunday to face the unbeaten Broncos, and you can hear it Sunday on AM 1240 KASL at 1:00 PM.
On “Newcastle Afternoon,” we visited with longtime Cowboys’ play-by-play voice Brad Sham.

The Burrall Blog – Howdy from Laramie!
9/26/09 – 12:34 PM
Hello from War Memorial Stadium in Laramie.
I know that the weather is nice at home, but it is simply gorgeous here. Temperature is in the mid 60′s with a nice breeze and a clear blue sky.
Dave Walsh and Kevin McKinney say hello. I visited with them for a few minutes before the network broadcast began. Patience, they say, is important for Cowboy football fans right now. This offense can potentially be exciting; it just doesn’t have the athletes right now that it takes to make it work. But the Pokes need to score an offensive touchdown again sometime. Why not today? Well, they have a fairly tough opponent in UNLV. And the Rebels’ Omar Clayton is quite a quarterback.
I can’t blog while the game is in progress, but hopefully I’ll have more for you over the weekend. Also, I’m headed to Denver later today to visit my brother and sister-in-law……….and of course, to see the Rockies and Cardinals at Coors Field tomorrow afternoon.
And, as always, you can listen to Cowboy Football right now on AM 1240 KASL.

The Burrall Blog – Cowboy Joe, Where Did You Go?
9/20/09 – 3:17 PM
In the title, I don’t mean Joe Glenn. I mean the Wyoming Cowboys’ offense. Yes, there are a new system and a new head coach, but the Cowboys’ offense in a 24-0 loss to Colorado was poor. How poor? How about 230 yards of total offense? How about only 13 first downs and 9 punts? Yeccch! Colorado, in starting 0-2, had allowed over 1,000 yards in their first two games.
Oh, and there were also the four 15-yard penalties.
Probably only the most optimistic of Cowboy rooters would have expected a big turnaround from the 3-9 record of last year, but 3 wins might be about what to expect this year, I’m afraid. Look, even the best defenses in college football can’t stand to be on the field for 35 minutes, as Wyoming’s defense was in Boulder.
The upcoming UNLV game may be a very crucial one for Dave Christensen’s first Cowboy team. The offense must be better, the defense must make big plays at the right times, and there must be more discipline, or this may be a very long season in Laramie.
