Great schedule economic-wise this year

Everyone is taking a beating out there economics-wise in intercollegiate athletics

That being said, I don't think Wyoming could have asked for a better schedule -

1. The Texas game is leading to a record-number of season tickets being bought, along with a guaranteed sellout.

2. The road games consist of @ Colorado, CSU & Air Force - that's 3 of 6 road games where the team can jump on the bus rather than fly out.

3. Weber State is the I-AA foe. They'll probably bring more fans than some of the conference foes we face this year. (... UNLV)

4. No weird home games - Everything is on a Saturday starting between Noon and 2 p.m.

Having two home games in November isn't ideal - but given everything else, this is a good schedule.

Don't forget that it's economically sound for fans as well. Games in Utah mean easy travel for Wyoming fans.. plus with season tickets being pretty cheap, that helps too. Great schedule this year. Too bad making it down to a game is looking dim at best. Grr!

Fans can fairly easily see 10 of UW's 12 games in person this season...with FAU and SDSU being the only ones that are of any substantial distance. Nice!
