We are pumped up and excited to be heading to Laramie for the opener tomorrow! We live just southwest of Houston and were at Reliant stadium last night to watch, and cheer on, Mitch Unrein in his quest to make the Texans team. He looked sharp but playing time was not extensive and the Texans are loaded on the 'D' line. We're hopin' though!

We have had tickets for the UW-Texas game for months but just two days ago decided to head for Laramie for the opener! We fly out of Houston at noon and should be in Laramie by 3:30!

How many are expected for the opener? I sure envy you folks who are within a hundred miles or so. Let the excitement flow and tell us your plans for being there, whether you live in Laramie, are driving in, or are flying in. GO COWBOYS!!!! :D

I'll be very pleasantly surprised if they get over 20k. Labor Day weekend means a LOT of students (and others) won't even be in Laramie.

We got to the game and my biggest take away is the outstanding job UW has done in creating a great game day experience. Kudos to UW! My second biggest take away is Southern Utah HAS A CLUB! Impressive.

I was surprised, greatly surprised, at the trouble UW's lines had. The OL was ineffective in creating running holes or in handling the Southern Utah defensive pursuit. The DL was ineffective in stopping the run or putting pressure on S. Utah's qb. UW tackling was poor in general and far too many stops were made by our secondary. If that kind of performance continues we are in for a l-o-n-g and disappointing season. Hopefully, major changes will be made this week.

We'll be in Austin on Saturday and cheering hard for the Pokes but no matter how surprisingly good Southern Utah was, Texas is at a far higher level. I'm hoping that I'm missing something and that we'll be in the game but I have to admit that major concerns have set in.
