As the title states... wondering if anyone has plans to hit up our either of our games against the new opponents? I myself am planning to road trip over to BYU and take advantage of the exactly 1-bar in town.
Anyone got away trip plans for the Big12 newcomers?
- Thread starter crs8975
- Start date
I'm thinking of going to Cincy. At a 4-4.5 hour drive it's a much easier trip than any other Big 12 venue.
I think BYU would be fun in a Mormon kinda way. Would probably add a stop in Moab in there too
I was planning to go to Cincy but I have a wedding that day. Utah is just too far of a drive, so I will hold out until we play at UCF.
IDK if it will happen this year, but the BYU game would be cool just for the venue. And add on some national park type stuff too.
Whenever possible always add a stop in Moab
SLC is a direct flight to Des Moines and SLC has light rail from Airport to a few miles away from the stadium.
99% sure I'll go to Provo. Eight hours from here. Any other Coloradans wanna road trip?
Huh....

13 liquor facts every Utahn should know — whether you drink or not
Here are 13 facts about liquor that every Utahn — even those who don’t drink — should know.
I have a work conference in Cincinnati the workweek after the Cincinnati game.
So I'm going to go a little early.

I said I'd be over it by then jeez, so let's go. Start working on spousal approval.
Headed to BYU. I live in Phoenix and there are 4 Cyclones in my office. Owner is from Utah (hates BYU), and a good chunk of our staff is from there too. A few BYU fans in the bunch, and one of their brother in laws is on the BYU coaching staff. Some interoffice bragging rights on the line so we are planning a group trip up for the game. Sideline passes are an option, but we don't know if we want them. They are on the BYU side, and you can't wear the opposing team or cheer for the opposing team since the passes came from BYU coaches. Still working through that issue. Not sure if I could contain my fandom for a full game. Excited either way.

You wanna drink? Ok, but just know we're taxing you a ridiculous amount. And we're gonna use that money to feed school kids and to prevent those same kids from becoming a degenerate like you. Oh yeah, and we're also going to use that money to throw you in jail after you've been drinking. Enjoy!
Alcohol is taxed a lot but it helps pay the bills
Utahns pay a lot for the alcohol they buy in state-run stores. Spirits and wine are marked up 88% on the wholesale cost, while heavy beer is marked up 66.5%.While the DABC stores generate millions, more than half a billion last year, the agency does not keep all of the profits. After covering expenses — and employee wages and benefits — all net proceeds go to the state.
Most of the money funnels into a general fund to be used however the Legislature sees fit. The rest is divided among other programs, including the school lunch, underage-drinking prevention and liquor law enforcement.
Des Moines doesn't have the direct anymore unfortunately. I flew it a few times for work which was awesome. BYU's stadium is pretty sweet from the outside. Hoping to make that trip
I plan on going to the Cincinnati game. I live about 60 minutes from the stadium. It’s a cool place to watch a game because the stadium is in the middle of campus with buildings around it and the field is below ground level. At least that is how I remember it from a game I attended many years ago.
I was also thinking about the TCU game in Ames and the KSU game in Manhattan (this one's a given)
On TV it looked very small, but I read it's about a 40,000 seat venue which is in the ballpark of our Cyclone Stadium days.
Only their fans look like they're on top of the action. At least it looked like that on screen. Like a hall closet
