Texas Game? Texas Game? Don't Talk About Texas Game!

[pokerupfront]

YIKES!! Everybody going ga ga over the Texas Game, which is not the opener, and which is not going to define this squad, or it's season.

IT'S THE WEBER STATE GAME STUPID!!

Pokes picked to finish last, apparently only has one player and he has mono, and the Utah fourth place sisters of the interbreden are having a feeding frenzy anticipating coming into our town and humiliating the Cowboys.

And I'm afraid the place will only be about half full because of all this Texas hype.

Say it ain't so Cowboy Nation, say it ain't so.

[WYCowboy]

I agree, but I think this only applies to the fans. I don't think DC is going to let the team take "Utah's fourth pace sisters of the interbreden" lightly. The fans need to come out for this game though. A new coaching staff with one of the most exciting offenses in the country should bring our fans out.

 

[MrTitleist]

LOL. The fourth places sisters of interbreden... hahahaha. But definitely agreed, the Wildcats are coming in thinking upset, and we definitely do not want to start the Christensen era with a loss to 1-AA Weber State.

 

[McPeachy]

I only wished that the 4000 Texas fans would show up early (a week or so), supplement the Laramie economy, and help load the War for the opener.

Now that I am back from la-la land...

Weber State expects to beat our asses, and yes, if we overlook them, thinking of horns, that could happen. I don't expect a great crowd, and not only because it is Weber State, but because it is Labor Day Weekend...and historically, home games on that weekend blow.

My prediction...I will start a new thread...

GO POKES!

You think there will only be 4000 Horn fans for the Texas game? I bet there will be 3 times that many.

 

[WyoRev]

ugh...12,000 Texans in Laramie. I don't see a very happy ending to this.

Burt, seeing how there was only something like 3,800 allocated for Texas fans, where the eff would the other 8,200 come from? The War doesn't hold 75,000, which is what it would take to allow such a fairyland attendance figure. 4,000 from Texas in the stands. Max.

This is the scariest game on the schedule. Honestly, it is probably the only game that we aren't expected to lose. A loss here would derail the train. Weber State might be an FCS school, but they have several players who are better than anything we have on our roster. I know we are supposedly going to have a "different team" from last year, but the reality is a good portion of the same players that won 4 games and only 1 game in conference last year are going to be on the field again. Weber would have mopped the field with NDSU last year. The Pokes better be ready for this game or this will be our most humiliating loss ever.

Hopefully DC will have the boys ready to go by then. In regards to your comment on still having the same players....as long as we don't turn the ball over as much, we will be much improved. That is a given. And I think we have some guys on our roster who are better than anything Weber has, not the other way around. I'm sure they have some solid players, but nothing like a Fletcher, Prozinski, Gibson (either), Knapton, etc. And, these guys will be ready to take names this year.

 

[MrTitleist]

Wyoming's defense is far and above Weber St's defense, Wyoming's offense does not have the firepower or stars that Weber does. WSUs QB Higgins and RB Smith are probably NFL material. Should be an interesting battle.

So we're only buying tickets from the 3800 allotted to us from you guys? Dude, I bought season tickets and I KNOW I'm not the only Longhorn fan who did. Colorado gave us something like 8000 tickets for last year's game in Boulder, but I can assure you it was closer to 20,000 fans wearing burnt orange in the stands. Everywhere you looked on Pearl Street Friday night and Saturday afternoon (it was a night game), it was a sea of burnt orange. The Horns travel pretty well....way beyond the allotted visitors tickets give us.

But, dude, there's nothing to be worried about. We're just fans who are coming to watch a football game. We know you're the host and we respect that.

Well...unless Texas fans, including yourself, purchased 8,000 season tickets, your math is a little fucked. And...seeing how there were probably less than 2% of our 7,000 season tickets sold to Texas fans (per the UW ticket office), your math may be really fucked. Folsum in Colorado holds 54,000. The War holds (on that day) 32,000 roughly. That alone shows there is a gap of 22,000 seats, and by the way CU is not known for shattering attendance records and packing the stands regardless the opponent, so it doesn't surpise me the burnt sienna shirts were everywhere.

It really doesn't matter, but again, 4000 will be your number. It is mathematically impossible to have 12,000 Texas fans that day at the War, unless 8,000 UW fans decide to unload their tickets to make a few house payments. Well...unless you are all gathering in a giant blimp to watch from above. That would be fun to watch in our Wyoming wind! Later dude.

Peachy, breaking it off for me. That was cute. :lol:

You going to the game, Peach? I promise you the number will be closer to mine than to yours. I never accused CU of shattering any attendance records...but I never said anything like that of the Cowboys either. Are you suggestion otherwise? Is record breaking attendance a regular occurrence at Laramie? Cuz I've never got wind of it.

Wyoming wind? :roll: Up here, we call that a light breeze.

 

[MrTitleist]

I think the wind in Laramie blows a lot harder than Texas.. trust me.

 

[dapokes]

Burt....ummm you don't make it up to Wyoming do you? lol

 

[Burt]

I think the wind in Laramie blows a lot harder than Texas.. trust me.

That I'm certain. But the wind blows much harder on the eastern Montana plains, which is where I happen to live now.

 

[MrTitleist]

I thought that was commonly referred to as "West Dakota." I only say that because I'm Western MT.. the "other" Montana.

 

[Burt]

Or as I refer to it, the REAL Montana.

 

[MrTitleist]

You're Montana like everyone pictures it.. windy, flat, farms, and cows. We're Montana like no one expects.. mountains, trees, lack of cattle.

 

[Burt]

Really? I guess we have two different perspectives. All my friends and family back home, when I tell them I live in Montana, they always say, "Oh, I bet its beautiful out there with all the mountains and trees." Heck, the only trees out here are the 20 foot cottonwoods that grow along the Milk River. I'm getting use to being able to see forever, though. When I go back home to the tall pines of east Texas, I feel claustrophobic for the first day or two.
