That is what happened.

CU fans to dominate 91% of Rocky Mountain Showdown crowd

The Rocky Mountain Showdown game between the University of Colorado Buffaloes and the Colorado State University Rams is getting national attention as one of the biggest NCAA football games for week…

What will be funny is that after the beating we put on them this year and then after they have another weak season we go to their place next year and the mix in the stadium may seem fairly similar. It would be great to turn their stadium into a CU home game, might as well bring Ralphie.

The Rock, Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp. Damn, what are Bennie Blades, Edgerrin James, and Vince Wilfork up to? It's The ****in' U West out here.

Where is Uncle Luke?

Sounds like CSU had to turn back a bunch of visitor section tickets back to CU

Nope. You stomped on our logo, now you have to return and watch what you created.

insert one of my billion mom jokes here.

i don't honestly think novel was trying rip Coach's mom but make a distinction between himself and Coach. nevertheless it will bite them in the ass.

I think CP can laugh at the insult to him. I think he will be truly pised about his mom getting dissed. He should have thought about what he said.

Love seeing the other team’s benefit.

Let's see if he realises that you have more control when you chip it

Best part - the look of utter... Disbelief? Amusement? Oh fvck, look what you've done now? - on CP's face.

The school should really hand out cheap sunglasses to every student entering the student section.

I don’t know if we can complete an environmental impact study by Saturday.

The vendors outside of Mile High had blue and orange shirts that said "**** around and Find out."

At this point, I just want a CU one in gold and black.

I didn't go through the entire roster, just the starters, so my numbers are a bit different than yours for CU OL/DL

Just because I had the data handy I decided to indulge @CUAviator :

Average CU Starting OL: 6'5", 301
Average UU Starting OL: 6'4", 311
Average TCU Starting OL: 6'5", 330 (not a typo)

Average CU Starting DL: 6'3", 271
Average UU Starting DL: 6'4", 279
Average TCU Starting DL: 6'3", 296 (if you just include their 3 down linemen; they play a 3-3-5)
Average TCU Starting DL: 6'3" 278 (if you include their Rush LB)

To be clear, I agree with @Da Lama that this doesn't necessarily mean bad things for CU all season because of the way that the college game has evolved, but as @Buffnik points out, the defense and especially the interior DL/LBs seem built to play against the pass. CU could be in trouble if they run into a team that can play with a lead and wants to run it in between the tackles.

Just wanted to make a little update here:

Average CU Starting OL: 6'5", 301
Average nubs Starting OL: 6'5", 310
Average CSU Starting OL: 6'4", 305 (not a typo)

Average CU Starting DL: 6'3", 271
Average nubs Starting DL: 6'5", 301 (if you just include their 3 down linemen; they play a 3-3-5)
Average nubs Starting DL: 6'5" 287 (if you include their Rush LB)
Average CSU Starting DL: 6'1", 271

CU is averaging ~57 YPG on the ground. I think this is maybe the week that the running game gets on track.

Oh poor CSU. Poor poor CSU. You just had to do it.

 

[Dark Bohner]

They're going to carry the disrespect chip all season.

The lube just got taken off of the table.

Walking up Folsom last week, I was surrounded by Husker fans, One was shouting "**** around and find out" over and over, until we had to go uphill. She got around a third of the way up and ran out of breath. No joke, she got out her phone and began making arrangements for an Uber to take her the rest of the way up. I am sure the irony was lost on her.

You should have told her that only about 40k+ run up that hill at the end of a 10k every year. That would have made her feel better about her situation, I'm sure.

He said his wife is in Dentistry and he's in real estate

Interesting bc he was the GM of a store as of a few months ago. Have to talk to my buddy who was working for him to see what happened.

[PrimeTimeBuffs]

they gave back 500 tickets. how many did we give them, like 525?

I think we give them 1500, so I'm assuming that means 1000 Ram fans were actually smart enough to put tickets on Seatgeek this week. Props to them.

If they can't sell their visitor allotment for this, then they are not worthy of getting home & homes in future extensions of the series. Especially since there is no way they can afford whatever our visitor appearance fee is going to be going up to. Getting CU to come to your place is going to be more valuable than getting Notre Dame to come to your stadium.

 

[PrimeTimeBuffs]

they should've just kept the tickets and resold them on stub hub. could've doubled their annual football budget.

 

[Scotch]

I guess I take back my comment about Norvell handling it all pretty well. I just don’t understand why guys keep coming after him.

Also, “line of the decade” is a little ridiculous

I really wish CSU was decent. In the late 90s and early 2000s, when we were both respectable, it was fun. Rich Eisen's statement was wrong, in fact. I believe 1998 and 2002 games were on ESPN, and others were on ESPN2.

It was only when both programs started to suck that it was relegated to FS2 and P12N.

Business Field is a great location. Best ground view of the Flatirons on campus and lots of room to set up.

They need to play that song during the game

Interesting numbers. What they don't say is what the shapes are of those players. How much of that weight is in the legs and shoulders vs. how much is in the belly area.

How much of the 300+ is blubber?
