CSU at Mile High is now the 2nd game for the Rams

Oh, I agree, I would want 2/1 or none at all, but I doubt that would realistically happen
If we keep having to have little brother ride our coattails, a home and home is the minimum concession we should extract from goat U.
a home and home with CSU every 3-4 years is palatable. That being said, it really should be a 2-1 deal though.
Eh, they did a 1-1 with Minnesota, they're doing a 1-1 with Oregon State, and a 1-1 with Arkansas. CU needs to keep winning and get to a level where we can demand a 2-1.
The 1-1 with Arkansas was a weird deal where their game fell through it was originally a one off game at Arkansas, and a home and home in basketball so I wouldn't really consider that a true home and home in football.
You can say what you want about Oregon State and Minnesota but CU has a lot more to lose in a home and home than those teams do.
I also want to know the financial aspect of these deals as CSU might be shelling out the money to try and fill their new stadium which could put off the impression it makes sense when the margins are lower because of the payment.
Bolded is the key on this. I am in the camp that CU shouldn't be doing 1-1s with CSU or any other MWC school. If they are then the pot needs to be significantly sweetened with CU getting the bigger share of the money.
Fact is that CU can play a game in front of 35,000-40,000 playing a Sun Belt school. CSU playing that same opponent is going to draw 15,000-20,000. We don't treat them as an equal when it comes to the cash.
fify.
CSU's defense is going to be a mess again. Sounds like their DL is majorly struggling and the secondary is meh with zero depth. I expect us to win the battles up front again and run/throw all over them.
Their offense sounds good, as it should be with Bobo and lots of returning starters. But I almost wonder if it's doing them no favors playing against a defense that they just push around all scrimmage long. I'm pumped for the Oregon State game.

Normally having a game under their belt would be an advantage but they are likely to get physically beat up against Oregon State.
Think about it this way...
1. Chartered Aircraft v Charter Bus cost.
2. Hotel for 100 players and support staff v No Hotel (home and back same day).
3. Moving Truck (Game Equipment) fee (distance).
4. Less per diem or none per player/employee.
I'll venture a guess that the savings is six figures.
CU like most P5 schools spends the night before every game, home or away in a hotel.
I think OSU is going to have a good year in the North. Maybe similar to ours last year.
CU vs OSU in the P12 CG?? Talk about the lowest rated CCG in history!
With Stanford and UW up North, they'll have a difficult time winning the division. I could see them bowl eligible, though.
Agreed. I meant more of beating some teams that they're predicted to lose to. Maybe one of those two; both are in Corvallis this year.
No way man, Stanford was involved in way too many for that to happen lol.
Sounds like he was one of their best young players. They landed him because he had to stay clean for 5 years on a suspended sentence on a previous charge. He gone
Good. Defense takes another hit.
Kids these days, color me shocked or not lol.
What defense?
That 11 person group they put on the field when we play offense.
