Wyoming will play Toledo in the 2023 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, at 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 30.
After Barstool had exclusive streaming rights to the game in 2021 and 2022, the CW will air the game this year but with Barstool personalities including Dave Portnoy, Dan “Big Cat” Katz and Jake Marsh calling the game. Adam “Rone” Ferrone and Caleb Pressley will work as sideline reporters.
The Cowboys (8-4) finished tied for fourth in the Mountain West Conference and are playing in a bowl game for the third consecutive season (the first time in school history). Wyoming is also appearing in its sixth bowl in the last eight seasons.
