CornKing Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I thought about going to this game but I have a wedding for someone in my family that day so I will have to be at that and can't go to game. I really hate when people plan weddings during the fall during Husker football season. I guess at least it isn't a home game but still. Dont schedule weddings on freaking Husker games. I told my own girls that if they got married on a Game day their daddy wouldn't be in attendance. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 People from Wyoming are always outnumbered 3-1. We barely have any people to begin with... Touche. Yeah I used to live there haha. Quote Link to comment

Breaking the Husker code of ethics I see... Maybe I should skip the wedding and see if I can get tickets for the game? That sounds better anyways. Just get them a card and mail it with " this is what happens with poor planning, hope the marriage isn't as bad" inside. Quote Link to comment
HUSK3R 1 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think it's interesting that they say we're the "highlight" of their 2011 schedule, even though they host last year's #2 team, TCU (AP/Coaches). They're also using this as a vehicle to sell season tickets, a ploy which I'm sure will work quite well for them. I anticipate that their stadium will be 75% Red this Fall. I can't tell if you're serious. We will be lucky to have more than 10,000 Huskers in the stadium, which is 30%. Kinda/sorta serious. 75% is an exaggeration, but we'll have LOTS. We had over 50% Huskers in South Bend when we visited Notre Dame. I don't find it difficult to believe we'll have a majority of Husker Fans in War Memorial Stadium this Fall. I'd be stunned if ONLY 10K Husker Fans showed up for the game. Wyoming Fan can sell his ticket to a Husker fan for that one game, which figures to be a slaughter, and pay for the rest of his season tickets. Why wouldn't he? Tons of fans do it when we come - so much so that teams have instituted "Keep The Red Out" days to stop us from having essentially home-field advantage on their turf. With all the Husker Fans out west of North Platte who don't get to come to games in Lincoln because it's so far away and/or tickets are so hard to come by, this is a no-brainer. Western Nebraskans have been begging for a game played in Laramie for decades. You got that right! I plan on being there! Plus one for you! Quote Link to comment
SaturnDrew Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Doesn't their stadium sit seat at like 7,000 feet people? I knew it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Memorial_Stadium_%28Wyoming%29 Its 2,000 feet higher than Folsom Field. And the tallest building in Wyoming is (scroll down the page to Wyoming) . . . Wikipedia A seven storey dorm! Guess it keeps the suicide rate down. Quote Link to comment
OH HSKR FAN Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I get the feeling that this game will be televised on CBS College Sports. Quote Link to comment

I used to live there, and I enjoyed every minute of it. You can't beat the state income taxes there much less the fuel taxes. Last week, it was reported that gas was the cheapest somewhere in Wyoming. I'm just as close to Laramie as I am Lincoln. I'd really like to attend the game if I can come up with the tickets.

TheCheshireCat Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm hearing reports in Northern Colorado of Nebraskans buying Wyoming season tickets just for this game. If that doesn't tell you how passionate our fan base is, I don't know what does. Quote Link to comment

If that doesn't tell you how passionate our fan base is, I don't know what does. This happens at most big football schools FYI Really? I'd think it would be a lot cheaper to just show up at the stadium and buy a ticket from a scalper rather than buying season tickets for a game against an opposing team. I'd think it would be pretty difficult to sell the remaining tickets for the other Wyoming home games. Maybe it's just me but there is a line in the sand between passionate and stupid. Buying season tickets for just one game against an inferior oppenent seems to fall on the side of the latter. Quote Link to comment

For a poor, corrupt, public official/student such as myself, buying the whole package would be stupid. For rich alums, with money to blow that want to be assured of a ticket or two months in advance, this strategy makes sense and I see it down here all the time (also heard of it for Clemson/SC and Florida/FSU rivalries too). Who cares if you lose a little money? Quote Link to comment

Who cares if you lose a little money? This is most certainly true. There was a program or two at a place or two where we played in the last year or five where Husker fans were buying up season tickets, going to the one game, then donating the rest of the tickets to soldiers in the area. The one that comes to mind right away was VA Tech, which you either had to buy season tickets to go to or a two/three ticket package. Lots of people donated their remaining tickets to soldiers on the coast after that game. Quote Link to comment
