As expected, it’s cold and windy here in the hour before Fresno State kicks off against Wyoming in a Mountain West Conference football game.
What wasn’t expected was Fresno State’s arduous trip to get to the stadium. The Bulldogs spent Friday night at a Cheyenne hotel, electing to make the 50-mile drive Saturday morning. But ice and snow overnight made for a difficult drive and even with snowplows and state troopers leading the way, Fresno State didn’t arrive at War Memorial Stadium until 90 minutes before the 11 a.m. PST kickoff. Usually, they shoot for 2 1/2 hours ahead of kickoff.
