FWIW: PokeNews story about Wyoming's starting QB Kaden Anderson: Kaden Anderson story

Thanks for all the recommendations! We'll see how it goes. If all goes well we'll be in the area around 2 p.m., check into our hotel and make our way to the stadium area. Looking forward to checking out your tailgating scene and meeting some Zips before the game.

Thanks for the reccomendations.

Checked with my friend, we've got rooms at the Embassy Suites near the Akron airport.

Just for fun I had College Football '26 run Wyoming at Akron on automatic play and the game had the Cowboys winning 16-13 in overtime. I think the real game could be that close. Should be interesting.

Let me ask my friend where we're staying.

Over the years Wyoming has had several games with MAC teams. As I recall the Cowboys have played Ohio, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Toledo, Bowling Green, I think Western Michigan, Kent State, Northern Illinois, and I think, Ball State. Generally the games have been competitive. I've always thought that Wyoming would be a good fit with the MAC.

As a Wyoming fan I have no clue what the Cowboy may do against Akron. Last year's team did very poorly on offense which is the main problem. Last year's starting QB is now a tight end and the back up will be the starter this year. They lost a couple of key players to the Portal including their featured running back. There's been a ton of players come in through the Portal, some of which are projected starters. This team is a big mystery. We won't know until they play.

Thanks for the invite. We'll try and stop by and say "howdy" . Just look for a couple of old farts in brown and gold. 🤠

I've been to the Hall of Fame a couple of years ago. My friend went this summer with his son. This is really a quick trip. We're leaving the DC Metro area early Thursday morning arriving in the Akron area early afternoon. We'll probably go to our hotel, then get dinner somewhere close to the stadium. We like to get to the stadium at least two hours before kickoff so we can meet some locals and then check out the Cowboy's warm ups. Looking forward to the game, but not sure what the Pokes will bring to the first game. New starting QB, and several transfers that will have to contribute. This game will tell us a lot about what kind of season the Cowboys are going to have.

Thanks for the info. We'll probably get to Akron by early afternoon. We've already purchased tickets through UW so we can sit with our fellow Pokes.

Thanks for the info. It will be interesting to see how many Wyoming fans show up. We generally get a decent crowd at away games. Two years ago versus Connecticut we had several hundred in Hartford at their stadium. This is pretty good considering how far away Wyoming is.

Thank you. We'll try and stop by. I always like meeting fans of the opposition.

I'm not sure, my friend has set up the reservations. I think it's an Embassy Suites. We're going to the game and returning to Northern Virginia on Friday.

Wyoming alumnus and fan here. Another UW alumnus is accompanying me from Virginia and we’ll be pulling into town a few hours before kickoff. Question No. 1: What’s the parking situation on game day — where’s the best place to park? Question No. 2: Any recommendations on places to eat before the game? Any recommendations for places to stay, good restaurants, and sights to take in while in Akron? Thanks in advance. Looking forward to the game.
