Since I went to CSU but have now lived in Boulder for five years (moved here from Chicago), I think it's funny that the residents of Boulder and Ft. Collins attack each others' towns so vigorously. No two cities could be more alike. For all the accusations that Ft. Collins is hicktown and Boulder is hippyville, the reality is that they're:

-About the same size
-Rife with liberal, Subaru-driving, outdoor-oriented, environmentalists
-Dominated by large, state, research universities that are actually of comparable overall quality, neither of which compares to Northwestern University, where I went to grad school
-Right next to the mountains
-Bereft of more sophisticated examples of culture like Trader Joe's and In 'n Out Burgers
-Cursed with football teams that had awful years in 2006, featuring the least-exciting Rocky Mountain Showdown in a long time

Having said all of that, the "best email ever" is embarrassingly trite and inaccurate if you're a CU fan. It's eye-rolling stupid to everyone else. And, to defend my hometown of Del Norte, CO (population 1,200; located in the San Luis Valley), CSU has had at least ONE astronaut: Del Norte native and space shuttle commander Kent Rominger.

Now everyone will jump in and tell me how different Boulder and Ft. Collins really are; I say live in both for several years each and THEN tell me.
 
Ok, I need some clarification. So do you like In-And-Out, or do you dislike In-And-Out? Because there is a verrrrrrry similar burger place in Parker and off of Hapton and Santa Fe. I was in the bay area for a few years and now do consider it a cultural icon!:thumbsup:

I love In-N-Out and it IS an icon. What's the place in Parker? I don't get there often but would like to check it out. Thanks.
 
They call it 'Old School Burgers' now. Just east of Santa Fe on Hampton to the north side of the road (a small row of three or four stores), and it is hidden off of the west side of Main street, then up right by 20 Mile Road Theatre. Other than the pickles on the burgers, they are remarkably the same. They call it 'kick it up a notch' instead of 'animal style' for the mustard grilled on the burger and the grilled onions and extra sauce. A 'Home Run' is their version of the 4x4. Fries are the same, shakes are the same. Good stuff; if not In and Out quality, it is close enough if not eating side by side.

that isn't anywhere near parker....it's englewood. Old School Burgers are OK....Locally and in many cases nationally, NOTHING beats The Cherry Cricket for a great burger. Smashburger on Colorado and Mississippi comes in second.

i didn't read this whole thread so i have NO idea how you guys got on the topic of burgers...but i hope i have helped? :wink2:

Thanks for the tip and for helping. Burgers are one of those topics opposing fans can discuss peacefully:thumbsup:
 
Old School Burgers in Parker is just north of Main Street on Twenty Mile in Parker, and it is as close to In n Out as you can get, f***** good.

Untrue. I talked to Goose when I was in there one time and asked if it was a franchise of In and Out without the name and he was very adamant about sqaushing that rumor. He just said that he wanted to make the freshest burgers around. Now it comes in the cardboard box, and looks and tastes the same, but.......the decor is not as cool and In and Out is. I have called and talked to reps for In and Out before (as I wanted to open some franchises here) and they are privately owned by the family, and do not franchise at all. Name, recipes, ect. Not that you need much of a recipe to duplicate a burger. In this case, putting butter on the bun and grilling it helps make half the In and Out taste IMO.

It used to called 'Burgers and Sports', but Goose said that they had alot of issues with people coming in thinking it was a sports bar, so that is why it is 'Old School Burgers' now.

Sorry, the Santa Fe and Hampton location is in Englewood; the Main Street and 20 Mile Road location is in Parker. There are two; another is due to open in Aurora this year I think...haven't talked to the Englewood owner for about 6 months or so.

I support CU when they're not playing MWC teams. And Boulder and Ft. Collins are 65 miles apart.
 
Even more reason. I think CU hates everyone that isn't CU. It's not like Colorado University is ****ing Harvard or something...it's a ****in state University who cares who has better bathroom facilities or NASA Employees....honestly its childish

Most of what is done on fan boards is childish-- you just don't notice if everyone agrees with you and your team. The parts with the lawyers is not childish, but it is awfully retarded.:smile2: (not to mention booooring):lol:
