University of Wyoming football coach Dave Christensen didn’t participate in the Mountain West Conference coaches teleconference Tuesday because of kidney stones that forced him to go to Ivinson Memorial Hospital Tuesday morning.
UW assistant head coach and receivers coach Dan Hammerschmidt replaced Christensen on the call, and said he expected Christensen to be at Tuesday’s afternoon practice.
“He always preaches to the players to be tough so I expect him to be at practice even if he has to crawl in here,” said Hammerschmidt with a laugh.
Hammerschmidt also said Tuesday’s practice schedule will go as planned.
Christensen mentioned during his weekly news conference Monday he didn’t feel well, but thought it was a cold.
