Yup. Get the discussion going publicly. I like him.I like RG not so subtly calling out CSU. We have all the negotiating power here
Disappointing, as a CSU fan, if that ends up being the case. I can understand some of the reasons why CU (the program/the fans) wouldn't be interested in this game continuing as-is. I can admit that, outside of the pure financials (CU makes good money off this game too - especially when they are good/relevant), CSU has more to gain by playing the game. I would definitely prefer they move the series back to campuses once CSU new stadium is ready. I'd even be willing to concede letting CU play at home and CSU play their home games in Denver until that can happen.
End the series. On campus or off, end it.
I get the impression from RG that had they agreed to take the game out of Denver now, he would have been willing to continue the series past it's current expiration.
I wouldn't have minded a 2-1 on rotating campuses. But CSU seems to think they're something special these days and decided to play hardball. OK, fine. Have it your way. Have fun playing Weber State in front of 10,000 rabid fans on opening day, 2021.
Uhh, what?This is meant to be a legitimate point, not purely inflammatory. While a 2-1 gets CSU a solid home game every 3 years there is no doubt CSU could schedule far more interesting road opponents if that was what had to happen. CU is far better off conference/historical/money-wise, I completely acknowledge that, but at present most arguments you could make about one team you could make about the other as well. Maybe we are both getting a little big for ourselves? Or maybe both just need to move on.
