Or we can just sell tickets last minute at $5 so it looks like we have good attendance. Or give them away. Either works.
**** you you piece of **** douchebag
I was just going to answer "yes" but I'll accept that answer as well.
Regarding this silly, silly topic:
I'm a college football fan. I love the game, though I'm beginning to wonder why. Also, I love the University of Colorado Buffaloes.
To me,
College Football is about getting the best matchups on the field. The best teams playing the best teams. And not just the flash-in-the-pan teams, but those schools with rich traditions, and shared histories and rivalries battling it out on the gridiron.
It's even sweeter when one of those teams is the Buffs--though it's been a few years since we've been competetive (but not that long, really). But I still know that we'll battle the Mizzous, the nebraskas, the Oklahomas of this world, and God willing win a few. To me, the richer the tradition, the more quality the team and the longer the shared history, the better the game. I like the games! The ****ing games! I don't give a **** about television revenue (though I know it's closely linked to the product on the field, and therefore relevant), and I don't give a **** about Georgia's State legislatures's wishes, and care even less about Texas'. The game!
By pushing Colorado to conference which lacks history on the gridiron, and is less likely to produce as many quality teams across the spectrum of the conference is a disservice to our team, because it will result in few meaningful matchups (in my opinion).
I respect the quality of football played in the MWC. But it's typically one-or-two teams carrying the load, and not many of those teams have a lot of history in the game. But on any given year, the Pac 10 can produce gridiron giants in the form of Cal, USC, and Oregon, with the ever-present threat of Washington, Arizona State, Oregon State and Washington State (I believe they led the nation in consecutive 10-win seasons at some point in the early 2000s). Even Stanford, the weak sister football team, produces one of the finest all-around Athletic Departments in the entire nation!
Throwing in football powerhouse Oklahoma only sweetens the pot.
The thought of matching a (presumably resurgent) Colorado's rich history on the field against these teams makes me excited for College Football GAMES!
The thought of competing in the admittedly scrappy MWC does far less for my sense of excitement.
So I ask anyone supporting the MWC move: Are you a fan of the game of football, or do you just want to see Colorado compete locally and well? Because I don't see the same quality of matchups, week after week in that plan.
