Garlic sausage, cream cans and a 21st birthday at a Cowboys tailgate

I went to my first University of Wyoming home football game Saturday, and I got there early on purpose. I had been told the tailgating is half the show.

The Cowboys beat Northern Illinois 41-23 at War Memorial Stadium, but this column is about the pregame. I wandered around, sampled food at a few of the parties and ran into some people from Goshen County. One group was celebrating a 21st birthday. The banner on the camper said so.
