There are some good sports bars in the area (Downstairs at Eric's, Ollie's, etc.). Pac 12 network is available via Comcast in Summit County. I don't think many have Directv, which is actually a plus in this case.
Yeah I searched and found that list as well. Ollie's looks like a possibility. The Showdown is actually on CBS Sports Network, so I don't think there should be an issue with getting it, I just didn't know if there was an actual CU bar up there. I'll be with my (soon-to-be) father in law, who is a big Badgers fan, and they play around the same time as the Buffs, so just trying to find a good spot with a bunch of TVs.
It won't be as lopsided as 2016, but it will be a 2-3 TD margin in favor of the Buffs. That -6 spread is easy money
Heart: Yes, agreed
I feel like it should be the other way around. Your brain should tell you CU wins going away, as there's nothing on paper that suggests CSU is in the same league. Your heart, OTOH, might say it'll be closer than that because that's just how this game is most of the time (kind of).
This is the single quickest way to turn my Kool-Aid to arsenic.
You are giving me the heebie jeebies, remembering that, along with their Center doing his little "get your horns out" hand gesture before every snap, and then running it down our throats.
This time it'll be *our* transfer running it down *their* throats.
Well I’m convinced.
OK, let me put it this way. Their starting center is a returning starter....or so they say. Total starts, 5 games. Also, he has short arms and this will hurt him going against a bigger, stronger, faster player. He doesn't have a chance against Edwards without lots of help.
That’s not a very good blocking stance.OK, let me put it this way. Their starting center is a returning starter....or so they say. Total starts, 5 games. Also, he has short arms and this will hurt him going against a bigger, stronger, faster player. He doesn't have a chance against Edwards without lots of help.
Their starting Right Guard and Starting Left Guard are returning starters.....or so they say. Total starts, 3 games each. Neither excelled in the starts they did have.
Their starting right tackle, Ben Knox, is a monster and can flat out play. But the game against CU will be only his second at the D1 level. By year end he will be great, but in game two, expect major mistakes.
Their starting left tackle is TJ Roundtree, a guy who played at Louisville, but wasn't even good enough to make the two deep there last year. Like their right tackle, his start against CU will be the second of his career and given his limitations. He will be in big trouble all year long.
CSU's defensive line was pretty terrible last year.....at CSU's scrimmage the offensive and defensive lines were roughly equal....in this case equally bad.
CU is going to win this game going away.
Now everyone, please focus on the game that matters.
Meh, more like CU working out the kinks still being plenty good enough to beat CSU handily in week one.
Last year CSU had 101 yards on 29 attempts. That excludes sacks on Stevens. Good for a 3.5 average. All against a terrible defensive line.
...and their "****ty o-line"
Boddie and McMillion probably equal each other out but think CSU probably has better proven depth at this point
McMillian had a 1,000+ yard rushing season and had 2,153 yards in 3 years in the ACC, which is 38 yards fewer than both Matthews and Boddie have in their Mountain West careers, combined. I think CU has the most talented and proven RB between the two programs, hands down. The depth may be in CSU's favor, but only because Boddie has seen playing time and Fontenot hasn't... There isn't a position on the field where CSU truly has the edge in talent over CU.
