Maybe it’s because he and his family spent a week or so in the Caribbean.
Or maybe it’s because he has a year under his belt as head coach.
No matter the reason, second-year Wyoming football coach Dave Christensen is happy man heading into his second spring drills with the Cowboys.
“I’m not in as big of a state of depression as I was a year ago when we were out here,” Christensen said earlier this week when asked what some of the biggest differences are for him now as compared to this time last year.
“We’ve got some guys that can run, that can hit and can play football. We’ve got more depth. We’ve got more athletes. It’s more competitive. The hitting is better than it’s been and it’s more physical.”
UW’s fifth practice of spring drills is at 3:30 p.m. today, and its first scrimmage of the spring is at 9 a.m. Saturday at the school’s indoor practice facility.
I will try and give you and update after today’s practice, but it may be a tough because at about 6:45 p.m. I will begin the live blog of the Wyoming women’s basketball teams’ WNIT game with BYU. Join me at http://wyomingcowboysblog.com/2010/03/24/live-blog-cowgirls-vs-byu-wnit-tournament/
If I can’t get an update to you today, join me for a live chat on football or anything UW sports-related at 10:30 a.m. Friday at http://wyomingcowboysblog.com/2010/03/23/live-chat-spring-football-2010/

Hopefully no players that were with Glenn are reading that comment by Christensen about being depressed when he arrived (doesn’t sound like he was clinically depressed). Seems pretty harsh on those players that were with Glenn and I’ve tried to spin it a variety of ways!
Dave was a little tongue-and-cheek with that comment, but there wasn’t a lot of skill and speed on the team at this time last year. It’s not where it needs to be now, but it’s better.
