A little Wyoming trivia for y'all: 

The horse that appears on Wyoming license plates -- including those on Ennis' trucks -- has a name, "Old Steamboat."  It is named for a legendary Wyoming-bred bronco that could not be ridden in the 1900's.

Ironically, while Ennis was undressing to bathe, he was describing the coyote with oversized testes.   :D

In an article about BBM, the author talks about Ang Lee, Proulx, and McMurtry and Ossana who have jointly written two novels, "Pretty Boy Floyd" and "Zeke and Ned", and adapted several of McMurtry's novels for the screen.
