Surprising Bragging Habits That Define Life In Wyoming

Wyomingites are a proud people, and a new study from the team at Action Network proves it.

Ok, that one was a curveball. I didn't see that coming. Wyomingites seem a little more tight-lipped on that type of topic.

The survey doesn't mention the location of the Wyoming participants, but it seems likely that they may have been from Laramie, where the main campus of UW is located.
