2017 was a jam-packed year for Wyoming athletics, beginning with drama and ending with even more of it — and that’s just the Josh Allen component.

It’s hard to believe now, but this time last year, the thought of Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen as an NFL Draft pick was fairly far-fetched. 2017 changed that right away. Allen’s draft stock shot up in January, and his decision to come back to Wyoming took longer than Pokes fans’ heart rates would have preferred.
