Anyone going to the Border War and/or exhibition game?

You know, I'm not 100 percent exactly which recruits will be in town. There are certainly a handful. One commit, Chandler Garrett, will be here for an unofficial visit. Big recruiting weekend, though.

I'd like them a lot more if Cameron Coffman and Tanner Gentry were playing. I've heard Smith has been pretty accurate during practice this week (in the limited window I'm allowed to attend, there hasn't been anything of substance; lot of stretching, etc.). But Coffman is a veteran, and Gentry is a huge loss.

Not really. I know they're hopeful that this weekend could help lock down another commit or two, but no one in particular.

Cam has not thrown, from what I've been told. Source told me yesterday he's not going to play, but might dress. Last week he was in street clothes for the game.

I'm not sure I'm really qualified to answer that. I'd hate to speculate without any actual knowledge on that. There's always a chance for some turnover after a down year, but there are many variables.

I've been told they're pleased with the sale thus far. The sales were already decent before the banner-raising was announce, so I'm sure that played into their decision to do it that night. Now, ticket sales are great, but let's just hope it amounts to butts in the seats.

Man, I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I don't get much of the "fan experience" being in the press box. Though you're welcome to tell them to bring back the brownies they had in the press box for the New Mexico game ;)

Wick is still under concussion protocol. Until he passes the protocol, Bohl won't entertain the possibility of a medical redshirt. He would be eligible for one if he doesn't play the rest of the year. With Hill and Overstreet returning next year, along with Joshua Tapscott, Nico Evans and Milo Hall (who is redshirting) back next year, I'm not sure how much they would necessarily want him to return considering his history of head injuries. Each concussion exponentially increased the risk of sustaining another.

I'd guestimate somewhere around 19,000 to 20,000. Border War is always a nice draw, plus the banner-raising doesn't hurt. Driving conditions should be pretty solid. It won't be super warm on Saturday (sunny and a high of 43º), but it could be a lot worse for Nov. 7.

Yep, that's correct. The HATC is on track to begin construction probably in May or June. I'd say May would be the earliest I can see it happening. The last AA renovation phase will begin immediately after the season is done, whenever that may be.

Overstreet, yep.

I can imagine. Laramie got about 1 or 2 inches of snow last night. My dog loved it. Hopefully there won't be much on Nov. 28 so fans can get to the football-basketball doubleheader that day.

It comes out on Sunday! Do me a favor and please, please, please pick up a copy of the Star-Tribune that day if you're not a subscriber. Thirty-six pages of great content, all written by yours truly. Put a lot of time and effort into that bad boy.

Big feature on Josh Adams: trib.com

And from today, a lengthy catch-up story with last year's seniors: trib.com

Overall season tickets will surpass last year for sure. I'll get the actually number as soon as I can and I'll tweet it out.

OK, about 10 minutes left here. Any last questions?

Definitely agree with that. The 1 p.m. Saturday start time will be helpful for the Cal game. Now, just keep your fingers crossed that the roads stay clear.

All right, well in that case, I'm going to wrap this up.

As usual, thanks for joining me. Fun time of year with football and basketball overlapping. I'll bring back my Periscope live video chat around 11:30 or so on Saturday, see join me again if you can.
