So, yeah, the elevations a factor.
For whatever reason it never seems to affect us when they are there.

Other than make our punter look REALLY good...

Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman is 4946' elevation.

Pressurized? It's a glorified hangar, not an airplane.

Apparently there's no "pressure" to win....

some are pressurized, but who cares. I didnt notice ANY breathing difficulties @ NAU or Bozeman

I think people make a bigger deal out of elevation than it actually is. If you're in decent shape, which I assume as an FCS football player, you were, it shouldn't be a huge deal.

....However, having spent 4 days up in Flagstaff over Labor Day weekend, I can assure you that for an old, fat, overweight guy it IS a huge deal.

yes they can, if weber can beat um in football that means its possible for just about anyone to beat them - if you know anything about wsu football history well, it was 40 yrs since our last conf title.

the real question is WILL NAU beat UM?

I would say maybe, but not likely due to history and the way UM has been improving play lately. I think NAU's d would have to step it up big and force some TOs.

Flagstaff is a pretty cool town. I wish I was going there this weekend, I'd stop by Fratelli's and get some pizza and bread sticks! Way good...

I guess Ill be there next yr.

Post by **Ivytalk** » Wed Sep 23, 2009 2:39 pm

I'll go out on a limb and predict an NAU upset, 24-21. What the hell!

I saw some Texas Longhorns sucking wind two weeks ago in Laramie because of the elevation. They had oxygen tanks on the sidelines.

This game will be played "inside", so why should the elevation matter???

Flagstaff is awesome. Gameday at Wash-Griz is second to none but as a town Flagstaff is really really cool...
