TUESDAY: 22 DIME LOSS ON THE WYOMING COWBOYS - 2 1/2 AT HOME AGAINST THE SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS

The losing streak continues for me. Maybe it will turn around today. The weather problems the Aztec's are having traveling to Laramie might be a factor in tonight's game. Laramie is at 7,165 feet altitude.

Today from the U-T San Diego sports:

"The best-laid plans …

This year the San Diego State men’s basketball team chartered a flight directly into Laramie for its annual trip to Wyoming instead of the usual slog – flying commercial to Denver, followed by a 2½-hour bus ride over a notoriously windy mountain pass that may or may not be open.

And what happens? Their charter Monday afternoon stops halfway to refuel in Cedar City, Utah, then gets grounded by a snowstorm. The Aztecs – who moved up to No. 13 in the Associated Press poll – checked in at a Cedar City hotel, watching film on Wyoming and hoping the skies cleared by morning. Tipoff in Laramie is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MST.

“Just landed to get gas and now we’re stuck in the snow,” center Garrett Green posted on his Twitter account, along with a photo of teammates walking away from the plane at dusk, leaving footprints in the accumulating snow. “Smh it’s not looking good.”

“Stuck in Utah for the night …,” guard James Rahon tweeted shortly after that.

"We stuck!!!!!" guard Xavier Thames tweeted.

The adventure continued Tuesday morning, with the team leaving Cedar City at 8:17 a.m. MST on and stopping – again – to refuel in Grand Junction, Colo., before trying to fly the remaining leg to Laramie Regional Airport, assuming it is open. It began snowing about midnight in Laramie, where temperatures dipped into the mid-20s, and the forecast called for it to continue intermittently throughout Tuesday.

"Attempt number 2," forward Tim Shelton tweeted Tuesday morning. "Taking off from Utah for our Wyoming game today. Hopefully the weather is better this time. God bless this morning!"

From a Lang Fade Thread:

"I hear of a tout by the name of Brandon.
When I look at his picks, they just seem random.
He would yell at the screen and tell us he's right,
but the 3 million bucks he lost would not be shown on his site.
Some fools on the forums say betting against him makes you a hater,
but I just lay my bet and cash in with the Nation of Faders."
