Welcome to Cheyanne, Wyoming! A new college football program has taken over the state as Wyoming State University has finally created a football program to compete in the Mountain West Conference. The Grizzlies will skip the FCS and move straight to Division I FBS as the rest of the athletic department was making the jump this upcoming year. A large anonymous donation was enough to get the ball rolling. The donation paid for initial uniforms, Marketing, and the initial contract of Head Ball Coach Nick Kaneski. He is under a two year contract to start the program.

The School had received a donation last year to begin the upgrade of the soccer stadium to a full blown football stadium. Protective Stadium will seat approximately 47K fans while showing the Green and Gold throughout the facility. A large Jumbotron in the south endzone being a stand out of the facility.

The field itself will include new sod donated by Cloud Peak Energy, the energy provider of Wyoming. As a result, the field will be the Cloud Peak Energy Field at Protective Stadium.

Head Ball Coach Kaneski does bring some interesting experience to the program. Kaneski was a Offensive Coordinator at Kennesaw State before it�s eventual jump the FBS level. At the time, KSU was ranked a top 10 team for the Seasons Kaneski was there. This will be the coach�s first head coaching role. Along with him is Freddie Wynn, the OC for the Grizzlies, A scheme guru who�s main focus is the bring technique to the offensive players as Coach Kaneski will be calling the plays. The DC, Matt Quinn, is a Master Motivator who will handle all defensive responsibilities.

The schedule has not been announced yet as the details are being confirmed with the MWC. Rivalries are expected with the local teams, such as Wyoming and Colorado State, but one could arise with another team joining the MWC and FBS this year with Alaska International. The two schools competed and are rivals in most other sports.
