If "it" means their head, and out of the usual place, then, yes they need to do that. So does Bohl. But Saturday
it won't help. UNLV 21 to 7.

2 of us won't be driving up from Casper to use the last of our season tickets. I wouldn't hesitate to go if I lived in Laramie or Cheyenne-no matter how bad they were. Less than 9000 in the stands-I would guess.

The only hope the Pokes have is to come out of the gates quickly.It will be cold, windy, and maybe snowy. Hopefully those Vegas boys will let down in this weather if we go up early. The stadium will be about as full as a spring scrimmage. This will cap off the most dismal year I have ever witnessed as a Cowboy fan. I am worried for the future too...

Anyways I haven't gone to the last two home games because I'm so tired of this boring style of football. At least DC brought some excitement with his offensive style. Defensively nothing has changed. Going over the team stats I'm shocked the Uso Olive only has one solo tackle. Something is really weird here. I m still a Poke fan, but my season tickets will probably not be renewed next year. I actually get bored as f-word at the games this season. It's painful to watch as a lifelong fan. This Bohl hire and his pro style offense and Tampa 2 defense is outdated.
You say players are lining up to hand in transfer papers? This is fact, or instinctive feeling, on your behalf?

I agree with you that the defensive system is awful, we've been talking about it all season, it's a soft zone, it never changes, it's utterly predictable, it almost never sends any blitz packages, etc.

Offensively the play calling has left a lot to be desired this season when Coffman has been under center.

I doubt either Vigen nor Stanard will be replaced after the season concludes.

Well in regards to players lining up to transfer, I just heard Doddles and a couple other players ( I don't know their names) are planning on leaving. This is second hand information so I have no clue if it's definite or just frustration talk. Others have brought up names on the Rivals board. So that's where I got this information.

A couple of walk-ons I think (couldn't find their names on the roster) named Vigen and Stanard.

I'm sure once this game passes and all the attrition is known, there will be some entertaining banter. I don't know about encouraging

Vegas spread now even. Was -2.5 for Nevada and kept dropping

Wyoming now favored by 2 now!

Unbelievable. Thanks for letting us know. I'm calling my buddy is Vegas to place a bet for me. Rib eyes and beers tonight courtesy of the Pokes!

Attendence looks like a high school state championship game. SMH

Road conditions statewide were pretty ugly at the time people would've had to leave to make kickoff.

Not to mention the matchup.

Exactly....not everything needs to be bitched about.

Very happy for the W! Also, super happy for Eddie on the sack.

What was announced attendance?

I want to say the guys will have a little extra motivation because it is senior day, but I don't know if that will help or not. If a truck is stuck in the snow, pushing the gas more doesn't mean you will get out.

I would love to see guys like Eddie go out with a win, but I just don't even know. I say Pokes win this one by a td.

As for attendance, I think it will be very very sparse. A 1-10 team battling it out vs a 3-8 team isn't exactly a must see event. The weather is supposed to be decent for Laramie weather, but cold nonetheless (and snowing the days leading up to the game).

Thanksgiving weekend everyone is home and, honestly, don't have a compelling reason to come back to school two days earlier for the game.

I am thinking paid attendance will be 10k. Actual attendance will be half that.

Aaaaaaand.... boom goes the dynamite.

I saw ESPN had attendance at just over 11K. Sound right for those at the game?

I saw that too. No way 11k people were there. Did you see the stands? My gosh, looked like Fall Camp game. There couldn't have been more than a few thousand.

I would say...if you added players, employees, concessions staff, band, cheer, luxury boxes, ROTC, etc., etc., that the attendance was somewhere around 2 - 3,000.

That said, although I predicted we would pee-pee our pants and lose by double digits, that was the best game I had been to all year, and quite frankly the best game I had been to since 'ol Bohly's took the reigns. It was a blast, and the weather was actually crisp - but no wind, it was awesome. SO stoked for the UW win! For those of you that were on the fence and didn't make it, you missed a fun one.

Ditto on all counts...
