how many CU fans will travel to morgantown?

Typically we do not travel well unless it's a game in California where we have a large Alumni base. Cu fans did travel well to UGA last year and looks like there will be quite a few going down to Tempe for the ASU game this year. I'd suspect that the number of CU fans showing up in Morgantown is going to pretty small. 2-3k maybe? Then again, a lot of east coast alums may go.

[Jens1893]

i have 2 questions myself

a) will steve slaton leave early (please, please, please)?
b) why do so many former wvu players get in conflict with the law once they are in the nfl?

[WVU alum]

don't know about slaton... i would not blame him if he did cash in though... have you heard of noel devine? he will be the next star RB at WVU... you can watch HS film of him on utube.. reminds me of barry sanders, no joke..

as for pac-man and chris henry... thugs with $$$$ nuff said....

Im in Cincinnati so it will be about a 5 hr trek if I got good info. Will prolly stay Fri/Sun depending on gametime, etc...Will defenitely have to nail details once it gets closer! Thanks.

good... you can't miss me, i live 300 yds from the south end zone... you'll see a bunch of drunk bib-overalled, banjo pickin, moonshine drinkin, coon skin capped, 2 toothed mounty fans getting primed for the CU game... just stop by...

CSU fans in Morgantown too? Whoudda thunk it.

:dance::slayer::drink::drink2:

sounds like my kind of party! i would think that my family will be making the trip. should be a good time!:thumbsup:

So basically WVU fans are just like folks from Nebraska? Hmmmm. We may have some issues here...

Easily. There were 4k in Athens

[Lord Helmet]

Easily. I was thinking in the 6-8k range. There were lots of CU folks there.

[Duff Man]

I would like to make that trip. We'll see if I can make it happen.

[Waylon Van Smack]

yes but that is in GA. ATL has to have 2K worth of CU grads in it. GA has culture.... Who is going to go to WV? Their idea of culture is a banjo, some sheep and a jar of moonshine. 1K tops I say.:drink::finger2::moon::devil2:

[92Buff]

I would bet that CU sells out its ticket alottment. It seems the fans pick one game a year to really travel for. We had a real good showing in Tallahassee a few years back and Georgia last year. ASU will be sold out for sure due to proximity. I expect the trend to continue for the many great games we have scheduled through 2015.

All the folks I talk to are already planning to go so we will see you there.

Nothing wrong with moonshine and banjos.

which would make their culture far more advanced than anything nebraska has to offer...

I'm not so sure someone from ****braska should be bagging on anyone else's culture.

Sorry guys, but I'm just not getting the resemblance here... :huh: :confused:

DC is only 2 or 3 hours by car. There are over 1200 alums in DC and suburbs (MD & VA). Lots it PA too.

3K is not a bad guess.

[sackman]

CU travels well to non-Big 12 venues. Especially to places we've never been to before. There was a good number of CU fans at Miami a few years ago, too. Maybe not in the 6-8k range, but 4-5K wouldn't have surprised me. We had two sections at the bottom and two sections in the top level. I wouldn't be surprised to see 6-8K in West Virginia.

[MiamiBuffs]

CU travels well to non-Big 12 venues....

And why do you think that is? :puke:

[4DemBuffs]

CU attendance will also depend on how may tickets WVU allots to CU. i believe the standard is 4,000 seats.

i remember there being a beef about CU's first trip to Michigan in that they only gave CU 2,000 seats but CU still offered the standard 4k to Michigan on the return trip to boulder.

the above is to the best of my knowledge and we all know about that....:huh::lol:

that being said, i would think that as long as the program improves and plays competitive games this year, i would expect to see 6-8k buff fans go to the game. no problem.

if the buffs tank and have a horrible season, are not even competitive and show no signs of improvement all bets are off as to how may will make the trip.

my family, i would think will be there no matter what. :thumbsup:

[sackman]

And why do you think that is? :puke:

The answer is obvious - the rest of the B12 cities are certified dumps, save for perhaps Austin. I actually kind of like Norman, but it doesn't compare with Athens or Tempe or Seattle... The other cities in this conference are pretty lame.

Crap - forgot about the Miami trip in the last post where I talked about FSU and Georgia. I also remember Texas in 2001 - easily 4-5K at that one (the non Big XII Championship game). In Miami ther was easily 5K - South beach was crawling with Buff fans that weekend.

In Tallahassee I recall a bunch of local folks out in downtown eating the night before the game muttering "Where in the hell did all of these Buffalo fans come from?" That would imply to me that we travelled better to that game than a lot of other schools do.

Mark my words - we will have a good showing at WVU.

I just needed someone to say it. I've never been anywhere in the big Xii save Austin. From all reports, its not worth it.

[Buffalo Brad]

From the looks of the schedule, that will be the non conference road game that I trek to. We try and get to one of the non conference game a year as well as several conference games.

As far as total numbers, I bet we sell out the allotment we are given. I even like many of the Big XII destinations. Columbia is a pretty good town, Lawrence is a fun town. Austin has been fun. Norman is great. I usually end up tripping with someone from the home school in the Big XII so that adds to the fun. The only place I really hate going to is Stincolon. That place is a **** hole and the folks are the usual decorations you find in a **** hole...brown, bumpy and stinky!

[PhillyBuff]

I AM IN!!!!

When did this happen? I have been too busy with work!

I will be there with a good friend who is a WVU alum...

I have been to Morgantown.... Thos fans are pretty rabid...... rabid meaning they get drunk and are pretty mean.... I am not a fan of them... being that my brother is a Pitt alum.

But Hey WVU grad... I am there with another WVU grad from Philadelphia.

[NWD Buff]

I just needed someone to say it. I've never been anywhere in the big Xii save Austin. From all reports, its not worth it.

I have never regretted going to another Big XII city. Even the towns that are shitholes make for fun visits. In fact, I think it is more fun to go to a Stillwater or a College Station than it is to go to Austin, because the game is the biggest thing going.

By the way, I am planning on going to WVU. I am on a mission to go to all of our non-conference away games.

[BuffWFU]

I'm definitely in. My brother-in-law's brother went there and is a die hard fan, we've already started the trash talking...Morgantown is only about 3 hrs. from here...i'm sure i can bring lots of pitt fans who'll root for anyone who plays WVU....

And while we make fun of WV here in PA., central Pa. has been called West Pennsyltucky...so i don't have much room to talk...

[4DemBuffs]

and i tought that was just a small joke about some of our pilots and mx people who lived out in martinsburg and west of there during my ACA days....:lol:

i never would have dreamed that i would have been able to post that line here and have someone actually understand it. small world indeed! :smile2:

stillwater is my fave spot after folsom (so far) followed by norman (bc ubt's family makes norman great). austin and lincoln... meh.... not my faves. i am with you that i am glad that i went: in some cases it served as a reason not to go back. :cool:

[Skidmark]

"kind of like Norman?!?!" That town is on par with a prostate exam or checking baggage at DIA. The OKC Bricktown is a good time. Norman...please. :confused:

Norman... I have been 2wice... not so nice... Owen Field... when the Sooner Schooner fell over... Cale Gundy had his head buried a foot below the grass... and who could forget Schnellenberger putting an asterisk by the CU game... yep... I witnessed them both in 1993 and 1995... and the fans DID NOT LIKE US.... I was confronted by a few jerks... ( I am sure not U UBT and Lady)...

But Norman???? not a fan!

[PhillyBuff]

I am there WVU fan... where are u from?

[PhillyBuff]

I am ****ing loud enough for 10,000 CU fans.... my apologies to Morgantown... but they dont know what they invited... I have been arrested or detained in Ann Arbor, Stillwater, Pittsburgh, Norman, Austin, and for godsakes... STINKOLN!!!!!!

I will make my presence KNOWN!!!!!!

ROLL CU DOWN THE FIELD!

[PhillyBuff]

Ill add Oxford OH when I get there.

i think i will start hanging out with you on gameday. :thumbsup: it seems a sound plan for fun, but i will have no dealings with webber grills.

It may have just been my personal experience there. I went in 1989 for the "Things have changed" game. We had the time of our lives there. Good bars, cheap beer, cheap food, good football. The fans were civil with us so we really didn't have any problems. Like I said: I kind of like Norman.

Ames sucks, though. A freaking tornado went through town within 2 miles of the stadium when I was there. The bars redefine suctitude and the weather is awful.

[Skidmark]

one goal of mine is to support a Buff victory in each of the B12 stadiums.
7 down. 5 to go. Its a bugger scrathing Austin off the list. Oh-fer two there. Comes around once every 4 yes so it may take a while.

Visiting the other locations is worth it b/c 1) chance to meet some great supporters of the school. 2) it's fun to be a maurading conquorer. 3) enhances the gameday experience in Boulder. 4) the players deserve and have earned our support. Hope to see Miami Buff on the victory tour.

[NYbuffDIEHARD]

This is as close to NY as the Buffs will be so I am definitely thinking this is my road trip next season! Plus my brother in law plays soccer at Marshall so my wife will be behind it because we will be able to go visit him, should work out well!

I saw talk of a home and home with Syracuse being negotiated too, that would be my dream! I have Orange season tickets and for that matchup in the Dome I would surely be leaving the orange colors at home for the black and gold!

I roadtripped for that one - damn great experience. Might not ever go back since that trip could never be duplicated.

The Morgantown game is in '09, next season they play in Boulder.

I definitely plan on going since the opportunities to see CU live in the eastern part of the country are few and far between. I was planning on hitting the Chapel Hill game so this game just replaces that one for me. Hopefully I can make it to Tallahassee next year too, especially since I missed the first trip down there.

Didn't we have Penn State on the schedule at one point for sometime around 2010, 2011, etc? If so it must've gotten dropped because I just looked out on cubuffs.com and there's no Penn State on the future schedules.

[92Buff]

If you go to FSU, I recommend playing the FSU golf course the mroning of the game. We did it and it was a lot of fun - not a great course but...the starter went to UNC in Greeeley and set myself and a buddy up with brand new Nike drivers to play with, the beer girl followed us the entire round, and the pro followed us and gave us tips on how to play each hole. Highlight this with the FSU band practicing throughout the round and it was a cool environment.

If you do it, though, call aheadn and make sure they stock plenty of Coors. We drank 'em dry...If you wonder why we got so much attention - everyone at the course was impressed with the following:
1) We came from Colorado for the game
2) We asked for beer at 6am
3) We prepaid for the first 12 pack and asked for them to stay very close.

When we finished the round, many folks in the pro shop said we represented Colorado very well and told us to send our friends. :cool:

PSU bailed because they only wanted to do a 2 home to one away and our AD nixed that. CU's policy is not to do that anymore. FSU is the last 2 for one home game.
