I hope that the athletic department pulls out the stops to push for a sellout for the BSU game. They haven't made a concerted effort to get a sellout this year (and, outside of AFA, the home slate has been meh). Now is the time. It will help the team and potentially solidify a better bowl for the Pokes.

We will be bringing 7 of us from Pinedale, if that helps.

Thanksgiving might be a problem here.

We will be there. But the Boise State game is pretty much assured to be the lowest attended of the season. Students will be out of town and the weather is unlikely to be great.

For whatever it's worth (probably nothing) I don't believe it will be the lowest attended game of the season, in fact, I think it will be a pretty good crowd that night. There will be a full moon that evening and night time temps will be in the area of 28 degrees for kickoff according to a weather website I checked with. Yes, I agree there should be an all out marketing blitz for this game, but then again, I don't expect too much from this administration which I believe does a piss poor job in promoting the football program throughout the state. Marketing is one area where Wyoming needs big time improvement.

One suggestion I would have is allowing season ticket holder to buy extra seats at a reduced price for family and friends who normally would not attend the game.

Brilliant. That type of thinking, outside the box is not welcome here in Wyoming.

If...big if...WYO beats CSewe, and heads into the Boise tilt for a shot at the title, students will likely stay that day to participate in the festivities. That type of situation rarely happens. It isn't a unicorn (like the Detroit Lions winning a super bowl) but close!
Dear Karma,

I have a list of people you missed...

It's the week before Thanksgiving, though, which will make it better. Also, that's the first day students have off for Thanksgiving, but they'll be in class on Friday. I think this one will be more well attended than most here seem to think.

That should help a lot with classes and I agree we will have a decent student section. Even the sparser crowds this year have been loud and fun.

I've only missed on the Joser game so far, but had them losing to Rams, Donks and Dogs to end the season but then changed Dogs to a win ( i didn't want to be too pessimistic about how our team finishes the season :lol: ) . Now the Dogs have Haener back and will probably ruin it if we happen to beat Rams and Donks.

I'm never overly optimistic predicting Wyoming wins. Having said that: I would be shocked if we lost to csewe. They are 2 plays from being 0-8. We will be coming off a bye and they will be playing for the 4th week in a row. Bohl understands the importance of the game and our only loss to them since 2016 was the pandemic game. I expect us to pound them by at least 20.

For the record pre season I said on this board we win Division and conference ( due to esy conference, improved QB play, and I made that prediction with Sebastian Harsh doing good things pre injury ). I didn’t predict the awesome play of The other young DEs , Harris, Ow, and Siders.

Man...I've been to a lot of home games when there was classes on Friday and break the following week...it always hurts attendance.

Offer the students an incentive to stay. Keep the dorms open. Serve prime rib in the dining halls. Give them t-shirts. Free beer. Whatever. I also like the idea of discounted tickets for season ticket holders. I'd buy them to donate to local youth, military, or whomever. We need a raucous crowd for this game.

If it's cold and windy, and IF our running game is cranking, we might spring a big surprise on bs state. Their new quarterback is good, but I don't think he's faced adverse weathr yet. Fingers crossed.
