Greetings, Buff fans, from http://www.cuatthegame.com!
Well, this is it. The “John Denver Bowl” is upon us. Will it be a “Rocky Mountain High” for the Buffs, or will the Mountaineers enjoy the ride back home on “Country Roads”?
With a bye week, I have had the time to put together an extensive “T.I.P.S.” for the game for you:
Talent focuses in on the greatest discrepancy between CU and WVU - and it isn’t at the quarterback position;
Intangibles - why you must be on time for kickoff on Thursday night!;
Preparation - three Buff starters will be back on the field for the Mountaineers who missed time against Eastern Washington; and
Stats - Frustrated by CU’s pass defense? Well, it’s still better than the Mountaineers (and the Cornhuskers!)
West Virginia trivia you NEED to know, including: West Virginia’s legendary coach (who came after Bobby Bowden); the first nickname for the Mountaineers; and more!
This day in History - September 18th includes stories about Bear Bryant, the first-ever Mountain West Conference game, and, for Buff fans, the first win for Bill McCartney (a shutout on the road!).
Archived Game of the Week: CU takes on Boston College in the 1999 Insight.com Bowl. The connection to West Virginia? Well, BC was a member of the Big East at the time ....
Much to digest, and only a few days to do it! Enjoy being one of only 39 teams out of 119 which are still undefeated! (Unfortunately, eight of the 39 reside in the Big 12) - http://www.cuatthegame.com
Go Buffs!
