August 30 versus Montana (Attendance)

[MICH GRIZ]

Let's do a home and away (yes I know it's not permitted) and I'd bet there would be 27+ K in Missoula. SRO

NO SMACK intended but I find it amazing Montana's average in ' 13 after a couple down years was 24,400 while Wyo's was 19,400

Lol it's not amazing at all.

You guys are good.
You guys have passion.
You guys give a poop.

Why can't Montana and MSU move up to the MWC?

I've heard from some fans that both schools are happy with the way things are working out but that's about all I have heard.

You think MWC schools other than Wyoming would approve it?

I don't even see Wyoming approving.

[J-Rod]

If the MW expands, Thompson is looking to Texas. No question about it. Houston and UTEP are #1 and #2 targets.

[MrTitleist]

Why motivation does Houston have to join the MW when they're now in a Northeast market?

[fromolwyoming]

UTSA or TSU I could see if we did expand, maybe even UTEP. But Houston? Doubt they leave the C-USA 2.0 anytime soon.

[joshvanklomp]

Geographically, the best schools available to grab aren't very good athletically, it seems. You're probably looking at schools like Idaho and New Mexico State. UTEP makes sense, too.

Otherwise, you're probably looking at trying to get one of the old C-USA schools: Rice, SMU, Tulsa, etc. or start dipping into the Big Sky.

With all of the obvious excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the program right now -- how do you think this will impact the August 30 home/season opener against Montana?

Do you expect an uptick in attendance - or will the fact that it's not a conference opponent, and is a 1-AA school, do you think this will impact attendance from a negative standpoint?

Appreciate the response...

Go Pokes!

You should stay home and beat it like it owes you money! that 1-AA school might kick your teams ass. You think to much you, JACKWAGON

Get outta here with that weak assed smack. Varsity. Junior Varsity. And certainly every dog has it's day, but if Wyoming were 1-AA we would roll.

Not surprising at all...had Wyoming had the same records (W/L) over the last 15 years, and Montana had Wyoming's record the same period, the roles would completely reverse, and the attendance would reverse as well. Has little to do with much other than that - with the exception of population proximity.

I hope it is over 20K. I think having the 2-3k MT fans will push us just over 20k. Wish I could be there. I am booked for the Oregon game and may drive up to the game vs Sparty..
