Historically, Laramie has been a nasty place to play for all of the MWC (and before them the WAC) teams. Miserable, drunken fans who hate their miserable lives working in oil refineries (when they have jobs at all) and take it out on the football teams unfortunate enough to come into this backwater before they go home to drink some more and beat their wives, kids and girlfriends (usually all three of them). They make Philly fans look downright civil. Throw in a field that usually isn't fit to serve as a vacant lot and its a tough place to play. Usually the weather sucks too--I grew up in Utah and it seems like every game I watched BYU or Utah play in Wyoming on TV had swirling winds and rain mixed with snow. That won't be the case this weekend with the forecast for unseasonably warm (and clear) weather.

FWIW, Wyoming is 9-3 ATS L3 years at home and 40-29 ATS at home since 1992. Utah has actually fared better both SU and ATS than a lot of other teams and should handle the Cowboys fairly easily but it's far from a lock...the Utes also have a short 5 day prep week before a game next Thursday at New Mexico...

Weather will be a non issue, and I'm REALLY scratching my head trying to figure out what I'm missing, but the Cowboy hicks can scream & yell their drunken asses off all they want, but I see a Utah cover.

Give me a day-I'm asking around.

I think you will see Utah make a similar run to Cal. They started the season with poor quarterback play but things are turning. The rest of the team is loaded.

With that being said, Wyoming is a tough place to play and an underrated team.

Impossible for me to pass up on Utah -3 though in this spot.

Don't be surprised if they are getting it down to under 3 before they hammer the Utes.

Try looking at the screen and slowly move backwards until its out of Focus, then come back in and see if there's any difference. Glasses are very cheap nowadays, especially the square one's that have funny lines. :drink:

Man, I really wish I could. Give me more notice and we can catch one. The Utes play Colorado State at home but they do travel to Air Force. Not sure how far that is from you...and not real sure if I could make it out that weekend.

I'm not sure we would survive a Saturday in Wyoming anyway with me wearing Ute gear. That isn't the same atmosphere as the pig pen you and I found ourselves in by the hotel. :missingte

In reality, I don't see any way this line dips under 3. TheGreek currently has Utah -3 -105.

Actually-that's a good thing. My Colo plates, your Utah mouth and in Laramie....bad idea.

KC at Invesco in full indian head dress & paint-no problem....but that's Laramie, WY-and there ain't no rules up dere!!!!!!!!!!

The funny thing is that I was trying to be charitable in my description of "scenic" Laramie....like I said, I grew up in Utah and love the Intermountain west but this town is definitely the sh*thole of the region...

ClipJoint · Oct 14, 2006

Utah getting their ass handed to them in the 1st half 17-0.

TTinCO · Oct 14, 2006

23-0

ucking:

ClipJoint · Oct 14, 2006

24-0...Utah is in shambles. Whittingham is not going to have many fans in Utah if he runs this program into the ground.
