I don't understand the apathy in being a part of UW football history. Can you image 20 years from now a current UW student saying I could have been there when we played the #2 team in the nation, but I didn't go get my FREE ticket. We may never get the #1 team in the nation to Laramie, if you were to only go to one football game in your entire college career in Laramie this is definitely the one to go to. I guess the current UW students just don't understand.
Beside the ranking, I don't think we have an offensive player of this caliber play at the War since Marshall Faulk came in our WAC days (Sorry Alex Smith, you may have been the #1 draft pick, but McCoy and Faulk are lightyears ahead of you). Even to casual football fans Colt McCoy is (or will be) a household name - he was robbed of the Heismann last year in a very good year for 3 great QBs. :?
