What away games are you traveling to?

Wed Jul 31, 2013 9:31 am

Nebraska 8/31
AFA 9/21
Texas State 9/28
SJSU 10/26
Boise 11/16
USU 11/30

Not going to spend my money in Lincoln...it hasn't been on my list of places to see a football game - ever (flytime in Nebraska - yippee!). AFA is a certain trip, as is USU. Maybe a long weekend in San Jose - and visit 17 Mile Drive / Carmel / Monterey. Texas State is a no-go. Boise is a wild card...if UW is "in it" I am there, if not, forget it and the weird poop field.

How bout y'all?

Probably just AF this year. Maybe USU at the end of the season if we are playing them for something(like the division title). A pretty weak year for traveling for me me. But 2014 should be a big one.

New Mexico was supposed to be my annual trip to Laramie, but my plans got goofed up so I'll be in Denver, but not going to Laramie. Boo.

Wed Jul 31, 2013 11:21 am

taking my folks to their 1st away game from Laramie in Lincoln this year, we'll see how that goes. Only because my Mom was born and somewhat raised in Nebraska b4 moving to Wyoming(smart girl). I keep telling my folks to be ready and prepared for a culture shock, as this will be kinda like their 1st NFL game...lol. It's going to be loads of fun as this is one more thing on my sports bucket list I can notch off.

As for anymore roadies, probably not anymore as I'm really looking forward to 1 of 3 next year, Oregon, Michigan St or Hawaii next year, plus I'm going to Cabo in Nov anyway right after the Hawaii blowout..lol
GO POKES

I really want to go to the AFA game but don't know if I will be able to.
I think I am probably for sure going to the USU game.

And on top of that, there is a good chance I head to either the Stanford @ Oregon State game or the USC @ Oregon State game.

Wed Jul 31, 2013 3:12 pm

Definitely headed to Nebraska and Air Force. I'd like to make the trip to Boise, but I'm trying to keep some fun funds in savings so I can make it to Oregon and Hawaii next season.

Nebraska...got a colleague and close friend here at the University of Missouri who is a Nebraska grad. He's spotting me 28 points and reminded me multiple times of his 'generosity', but I can't get too pissed at him because when I went to his house for the 4th of July he was wearing a POKES hat.

Trying to come up with some kind of wager for the game...any ideas? Having him wear POKES gear for a day is not really that big a problem for him as he's also a POKES fan...me on the other hand? I know the 'N' stands for "nowledge"..

Make your friend wear a CU hat, and a Wisconsin 2012 Big10 Championship shirt with the score that reads:
Wisconsin 70 Nebraska 31

Who was it on this site that made the shirts for the last UW vs. bWHYu game in Provo...the rider on the coooooger?

That feller needs to make up some howdy doody shirts asap. I am in for at least 8 of them.

Maybe something like:

HOWDY
DOODY

on the front...and

GET IN YOUR
LOCKERROOM
FLYBOY

on the back?

Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:12 pm

Nebraska for sure
maybe Air Force and USU

Wed Jul 31, 2013 9:28 pm

Nebraska, I think.

I would rather dive off the Sears Tower head first into a thumb tack than have to go to Lincoln and deal with 90,000 Husker fans.

28 points?? Bet the house. I like Beaver Poke's suggestion.

I think a fair line is closer to 19-20 btw. Although last i checked the line was around 23.

I threw this at him yesterday...he came back with me wearing a BYU hat and Nebraska shirt if I lose. I said I was in...he then balked...I think he's a little nervous under all the bluster!

Fri Aug 02, 2013 3:38 pm

If work/life allows AFA, BSU, USU... and 12/7/2013 MWC Championship Game!

What a chicken! Glad that all their confidence wears off when something is at stake.

Texas State. My father lives in Austin so it give me a chance to visit him and see the Pokes. A twofer...
