Hello Pokes fans.

First of all, I remember when you guys had Texas in Laramie a few years ago. That's a pretty impressive haul to bring into the MWC. Can't hurt recruiting either.

I'll be the first to say that I'm slightly nervous about our visit this year. I've watched Craig Bohl climb the ladder since his NDSU days and the discipline on his teams is usually second to none. Even though it was his first year, you could start to see improvements on both sides of the ball when you visited Autzen a few years back.

Combine that with a fresh coaching staff at UO and what's guaranteed to be a fever pitch at Memorial Stadium and I think we're in for a fight. Fortunately we are playing after the Nebraska game so can't get caught looking ahead, but I think it'd be about the same either way.

There's a healthy contingent of Ducks living in Denver that should be making their way up - but looking forward to conversing with you guys leading up to the game, especially as we embark on our journey into the Willie Taggart Era.

Peace and Go Ducks

Should be a fun atmosphere for sure. Pokes are catching the ducks at the right time

I want to say last year would have been the right time to catch us, but who knows.

Can't get here fast enough.

Honestly we're pretty happy that the Ducks honored their half of the home-and-home. In recent history we've had some problems getting high profile teams to Laramie on the back end of the series. We usually schedule them on the front end.

 

[RoseCityDuck]

We're no strangers to MWC road opponents - well at least not traditionally.

We used to home-and-home with Fresno State consistently.

Then you remember Boise State....

Do we know if this is a night game yet? I assume you draw a ton of fans from the Front Range corridor?

Oh okay. So that gives us about 8 hours to drink.

Just something to think about - if you're one of the fans coming over from Eugene, you're going to climb almost 7,000 feet in altitude. Alcohol hits WAY harder in Laramie than close to sea level (there's a reason they warn about this when you fly into Denver). My brother's got 75 lbs on me and he's drunk when I'm starting to feel tipsy whenever he comes to visit even here at mile high in Colorado.

And drink tons of water.

Let's use 7220 to our advantage and for once lets see our Pokes beat a "somebody" for a change, can't wait as big games in Laramie are truly fun

 

[pokefanchaz7]

We beat two top 25 teams in Laramie just last year but I agree it's been a while since we beat a power 5 team.

Was the last one a win against Tennessee?

Thanks for stopping by.

What you think about Brandan Schooler? He took a visit to Wyoming and I thought we were going to get him. Didn't hear anything and next thing I hear he's your starting safety.

 

[wyopoke123]

flew in from new york for the Boise State game. 5PM start for that one as well. and yes the alcohol hits wayyy harder/quicker. (the 2 hour time difference of waking up at 7-8am didnt help either)

Schooler is definitely getting the reputation for being a ball-hawk. Felt like he was always around any action last year. Should be a leader in our young defense.

No doubt. I lived in Boulder a few years back, but Laramie could be a totally different animal.
More bang for your buck.

What's the beer of choice out there? I'm very familiar with the Fort Collins scene but totally ignorant to anything north until you hit Bozeman.

Jack Daniels. If you get thirsty you can grab a beer to wash it down.

We beat Tennessee on Rocky Top, for their homecoming.

I think the last BCS team we beat at home was Virginia, and we hammered them with Karsten Sween as the starter. We had 500 yards to barely 100 for them.

I don't consider Virginia a very big name though. Aside from Howwy Long's son, they were a lot like a MWC team.

Didn't they end up ranked in the top 25 that year? I think I remember that. they were no push-over.

There are a couple breweries in Laramie: The Library, Altitude, and Coal Creek. Different people here have differing opinions about which ones they like but The Library is the best one. Right downtown about a block from the Altitude so you can check both out.
As far as other Wyoming beers you will probably see quite a few out of Black Tooth Brewing out of Sheridan. I really like their brown.

 

[Wyokie]

First off, the Virginia win was in 2007 and the Tennessee upset in Knoxville on Homecoming was in 2008 (Glenn's last year as HC).

Virginia finished 9-4 (6-2 in ACC play) in 2007.

We were the only OOC opponent they had, prior to their bowl game, that they lost to that year.

 

[RoseCityDuck]

Nice. I'm pretty sure I've had Black Tooth Brewing before.

And I remember when you guys beat Tennessee. Was that still Joe Glenn, or was he long gone?
