Sorry we're getting started a little later than usual today, but we're up and running and we'll have coverage of the UW-BYU football game, set to kick off in about 20 minutes and the UW-Regis men's basketball game, where tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m.

ericschmoldt - Gorgeous day here in Laramie. 50s right now I believe under partly cloudy skies. Teams are warming up down on the field. Pokes will be in brown jerseys with white pants. Cougars will go in white jerseys on blue pants.

[Comment From Nic Schultz]
How are the Pokes looking on the hardwood this year?

ericschmoldt - Hey Nic, Good to hear from you. They're looking pretty good on the practice court, but tonight we'll get our first look for real. They had a closed-door scrimmage at Fresno State last week, so this is their only exhibition game with a real crowd.

ericschmoldt - Slow-building crowd today at War Memorial Stadium. I've heard they were only expecting about 20,000, pretty weak for what fans around here consider a rivalry game on a perfect November afternoon. Stands on the far side of the field are embarrassingly empty.

ericschmoldt - Western Thunder takes the field for its pregame performance. We're 15 minutes from kickoff.

ericschmoldt - Mid-week note, just in case you missed it, is that sophomore nose guard Alex Stover will miss today's game after re-aggravating a groin injury.

11:53

ericschmoldt - Here's an interesting pregame ponderance. It appears that an extra goalpost, which will be used when the high school 6-man championship takes place here next week, is by the scoreboard behind the south end zone. My question to those up here in the box is, if UW finds a way to spring the upset, do fans leave the regular goalpost alone and carry the extra one down Grand?
