aside from Boise State and UNM basketball, Wyoming has the best traveling fan base in the MWC. If he does get eligible, we'll be high on every MWC bowls list, because we travel and we spend money.

If you're paying nearly the same price why not go and check something new out? Why go to a game in Laramie for the 100th time?

In Laramie, most jobs require a lot of manual labor (fast food, check out at stores, that sort of thing), not something a college grad with a degree in structural enginering would want to do. Teaching wise, Wyoming's not bad. Most other things, not so much.

Yeah Dell, or Intel aren't moving here anytime soon.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. They might not move their headquarters to Laramie, but I'll be shocked if Laramie doesn't end up with several tech businesses in it. They've got all kinds of incentives and are getting great press for tech business relocation.

Its obvious though. Any time you travel and wear pokes gear - you run into a UW grad. They would love to be back in Wyoming, but they almost always end up where the jobs are - and that is out of state. We probably have one of the most spread out fan bases in the nation.
I've always wondered what our media market looks like when you realize we have fans everywhere.

Really?
I knew Laramie was trying to grow, but I don't really know how, or what kind of growing they are aiming at.
