Hmmm... the Bayou Bucket (Rice vs. UH - Houston, that is) is currently set for that same day, so no Owls and no Coogs out east-ish. (Of course, that might change with the Rice move to C-USA, but who knows.)

If GA Tech is out of town on the 3rd, I wonder if OwlJacket would want to go out to Athens and cheer for some old WAC homies. Or at least boo UGA. :D

That could be Cool! I bet some Bronco fans could get you some tickets!!!!!!!!

Turns out, we're going to Houston for the Bucket! So no Boise vs. UGA on the lauramac/OwlJacket slate, but we *will* be pulling for y'all. Good luck! Kick some butt & show them what WAC football can be.
