Not wearing red seems outdated/unnecessary now that we're not playing Nebraska anymore
I still wouldn't wear red at the Dal...
...or wear any magic Donald Duck underwear.

Maybe, except four of our five new division rivals (UofA, ASU, Utah, USC), have some shade of red as part of their color scheme (admit ASU is a stretch and arguably closer to purple).
It will be Utah because Utah used to be CU's rival in the 60's. They wear red, not wearing red in the Dal Ward is tradition and you don't change tradition. That's why my dad went to CU, his dad did, and I am. Tradition is their for a reason.
BECAUSE UTAH WAS OUR RIVAL IN THE PAST! Do I need to type it in German or Arabic for ya? It doesn't matter how old a tradition is, true Buffs don't wear red in the Dal Ward and that's what Cabral did, Mac did, and Embo is doing. Look what happens when you try and change tradition, you get a Hawk like result.Why not just make our rival USC? They will respect/fear us as much as Utah does. No red in the Dal Ward center is a 20 year old tradition. Some tradition.

Except none of those teams are our rival. U of A/ASU are already rivals, Utah/BYU are already rivals, USC's red is as close to red as ASUs is - they are both maroon not Crimson, and USCs rivals are ND and UCLA anyway. (And why didnt you choose Wazzu? Their red is closer to red than USCs or ASUs)
Are they not allowed to wear Green because of U of O (Whose rival is OSU anyway), Purple? (Sorry, they are already rivals with Wazzu)
If a rivalry develops in the Pac-12 it will have to be natural, and its certainly not going to be Utah just because they are closest. It smacks of patheticness to try and quickly replace a Nebraska rivalry that Nebraska never felt anyway - Nebraska felt that OU was their true rival. NU/CU was a rivalry that Mac created to get fans interested.
I agree. Shoot for the top of the PAC 12. Not some flash in the pan Utah program. Set high expectations. That is the takeaway from what Mac did. It has nothing to do with the color red.
bam!utah/cu used to be a bigger rivalry than cu/nu or cu/csu. It will quickly reemerge

At least he is not stupid enough to say he's here to compete for Natonal Championships like his predecessor, and doesn't use worn out cliches. Awesome!I have a feeling Embree will stay reserved untill his breaking point, then he will completly blow up, should be exciting
Bam. There it is. Nobody wears Trojans inside Dal Ward.
That means you, too, Henderson.
First of all 20 years ago Dal Ward was just beginning construction, second, the tradition of no red in the facilities has been around a lot longer than 20 years.
It's the little things?
Any proof of that? (No red @CU, not Dal Ward construction dates)

Red clothing had been taboo around the Dal Ward Center for years before Hawkins was hired in December of 2005, but the rule against it inside Buff headquarters was gradually relaxed in recent years. Cabral told players a full ban is back in effect now that he has taken over leadership of the team.
Any proof of that? (No red @CU, not Dal Ward construction dates)
Thank goodness for the Kansas game, without it, I am not sure we could be here today celebrating Embree's hiring. Even if we had barely made the Peeon Bowl I think Hawkins would have survived.
Yeah, and our old rival from the 1880's DU wears red.
