From what I have seen Minshew has not had to scramble much, the offensive line play has been pretty stout. Gardner usually has plenty of time to throw, or to dump it off on a short route.

Where they love the governor
From what I read over on https://washingtonstate.rivals.com/ the Cougar Lair freeboard. Most Cougar fans are getting their tickets through sources other than WSU, for the main reason that the WSU Athletic Department has crap endzone seats. I expect if prior experience holds the number of WSU fans travelling to the game should be pretty respectable. May not be in the majority certainly, but there will be no shortage of crimson and gray in San Antonio.

When I bought my tickets to the Liberty Bowl last year, I got an email telling me that I had seats in Row 5. Of course there's no way I actually had those seats (I'm not a huge donor with a bajillion priority points). Once the tickets were actually allocated out, I was in a totally different place.

I will complain about that forever as we play we play conference 9 games and didn't play Rice on Nov 17 like LSU(their Nov pre-rivalry game bye weeks in the SEC are just horse crap), who also played SE Louisiana, La Tech, and Chatanooga, that is just ridiculous in my mind. WSU at least played Eastern Wa who might win the FCS title :)

The ticket thing is just tough. They have sold all the travel packages through the school as of late last night, but man people are going to have to spend 4000 bucks for a family of four just to fly there from Seattle, that is the real killer. So many of my friends just can't do it. I ca't get the days off anyway as we threw for vaca days in my dept like 4 months ago and I get back on 12/27. The last 2 years being the holiday bowl spoiled our fan base as flights are cheep and leave every hour,. plus tons of people just drove. I think like 20 or25 thousand went both times. I have driven from Houston to Seattle moving a car for my cousin she she relocated, I would never do that again.

Don't even get me started on the ACC and SEC only playing 8 conference games!

It will be tough to tell on TV - Wazzu crimson is very similar to ISU cardinal from a distance. :)

Agree. For such a great bowl, why do the Alamo folks give the team's AD and fans such crappy seats?

I've seen this posted a few times now. While I don't doubt it's true (I mean, I would hope so, as the WSU AD's number sold is pathetic at this point), do people just assume ISU fans aren't buying just as many through other sources? Just look at the price differences on each side of the stadium for tickets currently listed - that should speak for itself, no? In some cases the tickets are twice as much on the ISU side as the same section is on the WSU side.

Got the same indication this year but I didn't allow myself to believe it

If WSU wears crimson, and we have cardinal, it's going to be interesting to see how that looks on TV.

I think this game will be a good one and hopefully well played, likely will be close. If my own finances allowed I would love to go. From what I can tell Cyclone fans seem to be a decent lot, and the pregame festivities should be a blast. The last bowl game I went to was the 2003 Rose Bowl with my now late father. As it turned out Oklahoma plastered the Cougars so it was disappointing game from that stand point but almost worse was the truly high percentage of ******** amongst the hordes of Sooner fans. As a group one of the rudest, most conceited and arrogant group of fans I have ever encountered. Unless I miss my guess such could not be said of Cyclone fans.

So for all who do go. Enjoy and do your best to take either the victory or the defeat with grace.

You won't get an argument about Sooners being ***** here. The sound of Boomer Sooner 100 times a game makes most of us gag.

Cyclone fans are friendly, gracious, and fun. We are also loyal, tailgate like nobody else, and yell like hell. Looking forward to a great game. Go Cyclones!

WSU played the #50 SOS. I get that they feel like they should have been included in the NY6 but when you look at the numbers, it's pretty tough to include them. WSU is a really good football team but the weak Pac12 cost them their bid.
Maybe WSU should approach the BIG12 about joining while they are in Texas. Their strength of schedule would go up a lot and they may have made an NY6 with their record.

Saw an article today saying the B1G is going to try and take Texas and Oklahoma in 2024... LOL.
