LARAMIE, Wyo. -

The University of Wyoming Athletics Department announced today that EnCana USA will serve as the title sponsor for this year's two-hour pre-game special which will air across Wyoming on the 24-station Cowboy Sports Network.

The EnCana USA Pre-Game Bowl Report will kickoff at 5:45 p.m. MST and will be followed by the 2004 edition of the Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl featuring the Wyoming Cowboys against the UCLA Bruins from the PAC-10 Conference.

In conjunction with their sponsorship of this event, EnCana USA has also donated $2500 worth of bowl game tickets to the University's Cowboys for Kids program. Children participating in this program will be involved with organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs and other child enrichment programs. The Wyoming Athletics Department has agreed to match EnCana USA's contribution on a ticket-for-ticket basis providing 100 children with an opportunity to see this game.

EnCana USA is a natural gas exploration and production company with offices in Pinedale and Denver.
