Wyoming officials are touting Saturday’s game against No. 9 Nebraska as “the most anticipated game in UW football history.”
The Cornhuskers are favored by more than three touchdowns, and the game won’t garner much attention nationally unless the unthinkable happens.
It’s the event – not so much the game itself – that has the locals buzzing.
The Huskers haven’t played a road game against an opponent from a non-BCS conference since Southern Mississippi in 2003.
Motel rooms in the Laramie area this weekend have been sold out since May, and some Nebraska fans have bought Wyoming season tickets to make sure they have a ticket for this game.
A $195 season ticket is cheap compared with the $395 some brokers were asking for seats between the 20-yard lines Thursday afternoon.
