It's a great day for Weber State University football fans. WSU travels to Laramie to kick off the 2009 season at 1:00 p.m. against Wyoming of the Mountain West Conference. The Standard-Examiner provides two pre-game teasers in this morning's Digital Edition:
• Laramie shootout?We've checked the local listings; and it appears today's game won't be available on local TeeVee. An audio version will be broadcast live on KLO radio, of course.
• Bolen a special teams secret
During the 2008 season we were able to embed live Big Sky TV video broadcasts of most of WSU's games. Unfortunately, BSTV won't be broadcasting today's game, so we won't have a live podcast for our readers today. Hard-core WSU fans can catch the live video of the game (on a pay per view basis) via CBS Online Sports, however. (Of course truly hard-core WSU fans are already tailgating in Laramie as we write this.)
We're thrilled to see WSU back on the gridiron; and we'll be closely covering our home town team right here on Weber County Forum through the rest of the season.
Good luck, coach Mac and the WSU squad. A victory over a MWC team would be the ideal way to start off the season.
Update 9/15/09 9:30 p.m.: Final score: Cowboys 29; Wildcats 22. Due to a series of dumb penalties and mental errors, our beloved Wildcats narrowly lost today's game by a score of 29-22.
That doesn't mean we don't still love 'em.
