ESPN can suck a fat one. 8:15 kickoff in late November in Laramie? That's an attendance killer from hell.
I think it's great that both games will be televised, but that is going to be brutal football weather. Don't get me wrong, I'll be there in full force, but combine a bad team with cold weather and a late start and you can kiss attendance goodbye.hithere said:WYO1016 said:Basketball tips off at 4:00, football kicks off at 8:15.

Respectfully disagree. I think it's great.

Cowboy Junky said:How many people are going to watch the 4-6 Pokes against Boise regardless of game time? November the 22nd in Laramie is November the 22nd in Laramie. It doesn't really matter what time they kick off, very few are going to brave November the 22nd with a 4-6 record.
It might have a small effect on attendance, but not as big of effect as 4-6 does, or as big of an effect as late November does.
I think the 500 K more than makes up for the loss of attendance from having a 2:00 o'clock kick-off changed to a night time kick-off.

Comprehension is not a strong suit with me today. Are you saying if we had 12:00 noon kick off the attendance would be the same as the 8:15pm kickoff? I would think that we would see a substantially better crowd if it were:
12:00 Noon Kick Off vs. the Donkos
4:00 PM Tip Off vs. the Buffs

I'm saying it's not going to make nearly as big of a difference as 4-6 or November the 22nd. Either way it's going to be cold and either way we're going to be watching a team play with nothing on the line.
500 K with our inept budget is more than adequate to make up for the people that would attend a noon game vs. a night time kick-off.
What are we looking at? Is it the difference between 15K and 14K? I'll take the half a million dollars in that case.
Don't you know that weather is no excuse for poor attendance? Clearly this is all Burman's fault and just another example of why this program is such an embarrassment :lol:WYO1016 said:ESPN can suck a fat one. 8:15 kickoff in late November in Laramie? That's an attendance killer from hell.

Hopefully the athletic department will really try to market this game to improve attendance.
All I know is that I'm going to bet the Holy Bejeezus out of the 1st half of this game on Wyoming. I have dollar signs in my eyes.
Just checked...wind chill will make it 10 degrees in Boise on Wednesday. Not like Idaho is Arizona or something. They're used to it.BeaverPoke said:Well I am glad it will be cold, hopefully that plays into Wyomings advantage because we know the crowd won't.
Won't even be 15K at the football game. Probably not even 14K.
