I think we may be flying. Probably fly out Friday and fly back Sunday. I am pretty stoked this will be my very first away game save for our three most recent bowl games. I hope there are a lot of fans. It's actually a relatively close home game at a P5 school.MrTitleist wrote:I will! I'm probably headed over on Saturday morning, coming back Sunday. Maybe Friday night if I'm feeling froggy. Looks like we might have a nice turnout of fans. I've never been to Pullman so I'll have to figure something out for where we can tailgate.aranderson wrote:Message me with details if we can make it happen.

And since I love football assuming that Idaho's game is a miday time slot I'll be watching them too and making it a double header if you will. My uncle is grad from there lol
Travel plans for road games?

Is it about 150 miles from Missoula to Pullman? Billings is probably twice that far. Still a pretty easy drive.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him/her.

Sadly, this season will be the first that I don't make a Wyo game in several years. My work schedule usually allows for an off weekend, but this year, no such luck. Starting August 10 I will be working everyday (yes, I mean EVERY day) until sometime in late November or early December. I will certainly be watching, with beers in hand, as many as I can on TV though.

When hobbies become jobs (at least in my case), it was no longer fun
I got a great marketing manager job offer at the Utah Jazz and Salt Lake Bees this spring. Turned it down immediately. The wear and tear on a family was too much. Fun for the first few games.

Really?!?! I had never really thought of it like that. The idea of working for the University of Wyoming Athletic Department or the Colorado Rockies sounds awesome! But I guess its just like any other JOB. Its work and suck and not always pie in the sky.djm19 wrote:When hobbies become jobs (at least in my case), it was no longer fun

I do really enjoy it. The pay is nowhere near what I would like to make and the time commitment can, at times, be extreme. BUT there are only 2 or 3 days a year where I actually think "I don't want to go to work today". The rest of the time I almost look forward to it. Having worked jobs in the past that I hated every day, this is something that you can't really put a price tag on.ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote:Sweet!

A lot of the BS you don't see as a fan, you DO see as an employee. I see your point to "find something you enjoy" and do it. What I found is I loved going to Jazz games as a fan. As soon as I was hosting clients in suites every night and such, it became a job and not a hobby, and a I dreaded going. As crazy as it sounds. I would look for every reason to not have to go to the games when it was work related.ItSucksToBeACSURam wrote:Really?!?! I had never really thought of it like that.

If I was a young single guy, with nothing keeping me back, then game on. Now that I am getting to be an old ornery fuddy duddy, with a wife and three little kids..... (Although a road trip for a break from time to time is nice

Out of curiosity, how fast do Laramie hotels fill up for football Saturdays? Is it ever a problem getting a room?

I think it can depend on the job, but I imagine some NBA and AAA baseball is more work than play.
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

Historically they've filled up really fast. Book as far out as possible if you're planning on staying in Laramie. You can always stay in Cheyenne and make the trip over, but that seriously limits your tailgating activities if you don't have a DD.joshvanklomp wrote:Out of curiosity, how fast do Laramie hotels fill up for football Saturdays?

Kevin McKinney returned my email asking why no streaming for the North Dakota and Appy State games and he said there still might be streaming for No Dakota but as of now they want a big turnout and by not streaming it there will be more fans forced to show up.
As far as Appy state is concerned, being a road game we don't have any say in it.

Just looked at last year's ASU schedule, and all games were at minimum available on ESPN3. Even if it's not, it looks like they do streaming on their website (have to pay for a month's access at $12).
