Utah State predictions
- Thread starter Flatlandcoug
- Start date
Yeah, I think we bitch-slap them. Mateer goes wild. Lots for us and not so much for them. Martin crowd will be drunk and rather loud.
We're going to blow the doors off of the Aggies, but that's not on my mind.
What's on my mind is this:
We're 7-1.
We're ranked.
We have a chance to be 11-1.
Just the above, should be enough....but it's not.
Fast forward....
Dickert and team run out of the tunnel Saturday night at 7:25pm, and look up at the crowd, Martin Stadium, home game, 7-1, and ranked.
And what do they see?
They see a ton of empty seats.
Why? Let's look at the reasons why there's going to be a ton of empty seats with a 7-1 team, ranked in the CFP # 21:
Besides winning, what is the most important thing to CJD and our players?
Fans in the seats. But, unfortunately, it won't even be close to a sellout.
That's what's on my mind.

- Not a big brand, big name opponent.
- Pullman is hard to get to.
- It's a night game.
- It's going to be freezing.
- It's super expensive, (for a lot of fans, especially "the casual fan" to grab a hotel for the weekend. Even RV'rs, it's not inexpensive.
- It's cheaper, easier, and warmer with a huge 4K TV at home. Plus, you don't have to go very far for the comforts of home.

Did you see the O- line article on CF.C? It’s free.
Answers a lot of questions asked in this forum over the past 3-4 weeks regarding the O-line.
USU plays fast. They use no huddle and there will be a lot of plays this game. They lost receiver, Jalen Royals, during the NM game. He was probably the second-best receiver the Cougars would have faced this year, a potential second day NFL pick. That is huge for them and will hurt their offense. USU's defense is next level bad, maybe the worst in all of D1. USU 17, Cougs 55.
The 7:30 kick is killing the casual and family demographic, for sure.
But hey, we should get at least half of the what... 8k season ticket holders there?
Too many words to type a TL; DR for us there, Sparky?
I don't go to communistfan.communism because they're fascist jerks, so maybe you could fill us in? Please?

I get the anxiety going into this but, I’m looking for Mateer to go off. Running, passing, the full meal deal. Heisman-esq
I can’t shake the feeling I’m getting that the loyalists who show up in the stadium tonight will be richly rewarded with a memory they won’t soon forget.
I will be there, bundled up in my "Full Pullman" outfit. I guess I am an average fan since it will be just me using my 2 tickets. Unless I can sell it for a few pesos or give it away to someone outside the entry.
Looking forward to my pre-game carne asada meal at La Casa Lopez instead of the meager offerings at the CUB food court.
In recent years, there's a break thru technology on heated jackets, and heated vests found on Amazon, which are thin enough that your outer jacket goes over. These of course are powered by battery packs, via USB charging. Might be the Pullberg ticket for November games, and I'm excited to check mine next weekend in Albuquerque to see if it's a game changer.
What a solution for the brutal cold weather, especially for our last home game against WYO.
You guys are weenies. It’s not even going to be that cold. Low 40s.
Every one of us has been to much colder games in Pullman, and learned that all weather is well tolerated as long as your antifreeze levels are properly adjusted.
I should have added “if you don’t have a fifth of fireball to slap on to the back of your neck”.
