#2 Texas @ Wyoming - September 12th, 2009

Arrive at War Memorial Stadium two hours early after finding 3 tickets for $60/each in less than a minute	The stadium is just opening up for fans so the bleachers are still rather empty
Find the Texas gate by looking for orange or the endzone	Enter the Wyoming tailgate area and walk around
Drinks, food, souvenirs, and lots of friendly people	Old Ford truck advertising for a cellphone company
Wow, nice, clean engine	Wyoming fans know a sweet truck when they see one
Brad finds a bonus in the bed of the truck	Fans eat, meet, & greet in the shadow of the stadium
Big flatscreen for watching Fresno State lead Wisconsin	Dave & Brad are ready for some football
Brad is one of two Texas fans wearing shorts at the game David has all his backup gear stuffed in his sweatshirt	Finally time to head toward the stadium
War Memorial Stadium's field level of 7,220 ft. above sea level is the highest elevation in college football
Fans have a picnic out in the food court	Stadium beginning to fill up
Walk around to the other side of the stadium	My first of two brief glimpses of the scoreboard
Texas players begin entering the field	Defensive back head toward the stadium
Let the group gather up and . . .	. . . all head inside the stadium as a group
