Well, drove back from Yellowstone diagonally across WY in ‘19. Other than the then under construction “American Museum of Military Equipment” (at Dubois if I remember) the best part was the miles of unobstructed vision allowing for “making GOOD time”.Quote:

I’m curious who initiated the discussion to play El Aye Tech?
I remember a beautiful day when I ran into Cajun Express at a football game at Ruston. It was their homecoming and we got massacred. Every time they made a good play, they played " who let the dog out." I learned to hate that song.
Hate it, Should be a 2 for one, they wanted separation and they got it, they can officially ____ off forever.
Not true. Cheyenne and Fort Collins are 1hour away. Estes Park and RMNP are 2 hours away. Could easily see a couple of these places and go to the game on a 3 day weekend.Quote:

RNMP is a national treasure and you usually get to see some idiot testing Darwin's theories as they approach wildlife on foot.Quote:

Like others, I was already starting to plan this trip. Stinks.
Maybe Wyoming backed out? Just a thought
Maybe. That's what I'd like to know.Quote:

Travel costs. Ticket sales. Duh.
That'd be true if LaTech brought fans. During their last visit here, attendance for LaTech on 9/6/14 @ 6 pm (25K) was nearly the same as Georgia State 4 weeks later @ 6 pm. That was Georgian State's first full FBS year, so you know there was no hype for them, we were also 1-3 going into that GaSt game and all the loses were pretty bad. LaTech's only benefit is the savings in travel costs for the away game.Quote:

Meh - don't think I don't realize that Wyoming is like, MWC Brand South Alabama, but the truth of the matter is - after realignment, the MWC, AAC, and the Sunbelt are vying for G5 supremacy. (I realize this is fighting over who the biggest fish in the bait pond is, but I digress)
I don't mind playing Tech, and actually welcome the opportunity to kick those dogkillers in their no-no spot.
I don't think so much hubbub would have been made had LaTech alone been added as a home/home. It's that a home/home with a school in a perceived "better" or "equal" conference was cancelled to do it.
That's the rub. It's a valid one. I'll hang up and listen.
I always enjoyed it when we played Tech at home, always a nice crowd, and easy to get from my parking spot to my seat at McNaspy..We're talking about Lamar Tech right?

Louisiana Football and Louisiana Tech are set to face off on the gridiron after the two schools agreed on a home-and-home series, it was announced on Friday morning.
Well we'll welll. Looks like we will be playing tech non-conference in 26 and 29
