The Last Time Wyoming Hosted a December Game...

[WYCowboy]

Most lopsided loss
10-13-1923 Loss (79/0) Utah

And they probably did an on-side kick after scoring their 79th point.

I've been watching the Colorado Washington game. And I have some opinions.

1) No team should have a home field advantage in a championship playoff.
2) The site should be a neutral one IN A WARM WEATHER SITE.
3) The site should be distant enough from each team to not favor short travel for one team.

The frigid weather (and possible wind to add to the cold), although affecting both teams, makes the
game more "probabilistic" (for want of a better term) insofar as quirky things can happen in the
cold that would not occur in good weather, possibly giving the lesser team an advantage it would not
have in ideal weather.

Just my opinion based on previous observations.

Dude... We're in the mountain west. There's not enough fan support to have a neutral site game, especially one where travel is maximized for both teams like you propose. If tomorrow's game was anywhere besides Laramie or San Diego, there wouldn't be 10,000 people there.

Wyoming beat Cheyenne High School 18-0!

Come on, let's keep the streak alive!

My wife just said "they must have froze and said 'let's never do that again' and that has been the way it was for 100 plus years"

Yup, and where would that neutral site be? Las Vegas every year? But what if UNLV were to play in the game, would you move it?

Plus Vegas can get cold in December so...that throws out your 2nd argument, advBRU12.

Honolulu is automatically out due to travel costs for everyone!

I remember how cold that Las Vegas Bowl was in 2004.

Vegas would never have the "feels like" temperature of -2 degrees as predicted by Accuweather tonight.
FAR from it. And Accuweather says the wind speed is 25 mph right now in Laramie.

And who said anything about Hawaii? I'm thinking West coast somewhere. Or even indoors somewhere. Look at the packed house for the Colorado/Washington game.

And if the "feels like" -2 degrees holds and there is a wind, kiss one of the best Poke weapons goodbye.
Throwing a brick and catching a brick in those conditions is very hard.
