A chance? CU is terrible. Hawkins is gone after this year and his son will ride the pine next year.

Thank goodness, Hawkins, should have been gone last year. His recruiting is terrible or his coaching of talented players. I talked to my family in Denver, and the alumni might start causing a stir like the alumni did in Syracuse, NY.

I hate UT and never ask about them....but does anyone know why texas is traveling to wyoming for a game??

Im not sure if Texas even knows where Wyoming is. The game could be a closer score than what the analysts are predicting. Teams do not travel well in areas, where theres nothing to do.

As it was explained to me, Utah canceled the series Texas had scheduled with them and Arkansas backed out of this year's game, which left Texas in a bind. Talks with Wisconsin fell through. In the interest of not wanting to schedule a 1AA, they found Wyoming (one of the only teams with an open date), who agreed to return two games 2010 and 2012 if Texas would travel there in 2009. Basically, Wyoming lucked out finding a big-time program that needed someone to play.

I'll be going to the game...I promised a friend whose a big Texas fan that if he flew up here I'd get tickets. Turns out that season tickets were just as much as the single ut game tickets. So, this year I'm a UW football season ticket holder. Fortunately, my wife agreed to go to a couple other games with me, so I definitely got a better deal out of the season tickets. My dad and I went up to the Weber State game this past weekend. Planning to go to the New Mexico and TCU games as well.

Braver man than me. Wyoming in November, hell, October, is not a place I want to watch an outdoor football game.

C'mon! Its football weather!!!

Besides, every home game this year starts at noon or 1pm (they are remodeling their stadium and some of their lights have been taken down) so it won't be as bad. I've built up my cold tolerance in the 2.5 years I've lived in CO. Still amazed that my wife agreed to attend the games with me.

Rockets all over Colorado 30-3 in the 3rd. I notice Toledo "hosts" Ohio State next week, in Cleveland. How do they manage to get all these BCS teams as home games?

Well, we know that the Colorado game was on national TV on ESPN, giving the Rockets/MAC enough for a big guarantee to the Buffs. Cutting a deal with a big school and allowing the neutral site to be a home game for you has been done at least twice in the SBC....Arkansas State/Missouri and ULM/Arkansas.

      Go to YOUTUBE and request Army/UNT highlights. They had them a few hours after the game yesterday. I don't know about the entire game.

      ***OFFICIAL ARMY VS MEAN GREEN IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      The stats with context tell us more. I feel like Army kept the defense on the field on purpose to limit a famously high flying North Texas team. I agree we had turnovers- how effective were they? How many 1st downs did army have in a single drive? Army never turned the ball over on downs with high 3rd down efficiency. We lucked out on the fumble from the RB. How long did it take to get the turnover? How was the field position that the defense earned? Those are better questions. Our defense did a lot and I loved seeing the sack, near fumble (ruled an incompletion), interception, and lack of penalties(that pass interference in the red zone hurt) to deflate their passing game- all 4 attempts. Then, they took us on the ground. Daily slid early to drain more time on a run near the 50. They line up with the same formation for an easy read to gain a yard or two, but, more importantly, the clock starts back up. This was triple option football and I feel like we failed to disrupt their plans. I want us to be better on all sides of the ball. I don’t a moral victory. I want us to acknowledge that Army, just like Tulane 2 weeks ago, used the run effectively against the defense. However, they used it to play at their tempo/style limiting our offense time on the field. I love the heart these players showed. I feel like any one of those teams from Army’s past 13 games are not the caliber we should be proud of being better than (except Coastal and Navy). Watching at army launch the ball vs Temple, Tulsa, & UAB was insane. But Daily is a okay QB that fits the triple option scheme as a runner primarily. Horvath is a miracle for service academy passing. Daily has 51 passing attempts YTD versus Horvath’s monstrous 117 attempts for a service academy. Daily has the same interception rate as Henigan. I’ll see y’all in San Antonio. I’m still excited to see this team play and I know we can win out the season. I just feel like they were par for the course this Army weekend. If anyone complained about the DC all season, this game should not sway someone.
