@ UNLV

I'm on the fence. I have family in Vegas so that's where I'm spending thanksgiving. But I sure would like to go this weekend. We have covered in every conference game this year. We were only 4 pt favorites vs. Utah st. We are only -8 against UNLV Saturday. I don't get it. This is a team that has 3 wins - Jackson state, Hawaii, and fresno. Csewe had them down 35-0 at halftime. Unless the team gets vegas fever, we should stomp them.

As an aside, Air farce is -4 at home against csewe. Seems to me vegas has the wrong favorite. It's starting to look like csewe was a quality win and air farce not so much.
Fill the stadium! I would think bowl reps will be there. They look at how a fan base travels and factor that into their decision. Show them how the Brown & Gold travel to Vegas to support this team!

I think it'll be a while before we are heavily favored on the road. We didn't exactly stomp Nevada, for example.

No. But we covered. We've scored 30 points or more in every conference game. Nothing ever is a slam dunk. But consider Air force was a double digit favorite on our field. And that was after we beat csewe. I guess what I'm saying is: I'm going to keep betting us till we don't cover or the lines start to reflect how good were playing.

Yeah, that's all fair. I'd rather we weren't heavy favorites, though. Always feels good to completely surpass all expectations and make people talk about it.

I'm also not nearly as nervous about this game as I am about the New Mexico one.

Just curious, why do you think it's a horrible stadium. I've always liked watching games there plus the booze in always a plus.

it's also home to the monster jam world finals....that's gotta count for something
 
Same story this week, our only goal and our only thought process has to be to go "1 - 0". I think we get it done setting up the biggest home game in recent memory!

It's an older bleacher stadium with poor sight-lines (below-ground bowl-style, so it's not very steep), and it is the worst-located stadium in the entire MWC. That being said, Wyoming loves the damn thing!
