Best wishes to the vball team this season. Get'ur'dun!

(If I have the time and inclination, may go in and look at the non-con opponents to see what their RPI and win-loss records looked like last season.)

Playing Penn State and Illinois in Big 1G/Pac 12 challenge at Illinois. May have to make a trip to Champaign.

The disappointing thing to me about this non-conference schedule is that there are only 4 of the 11 matches being played in Boulder. Granted 2 more are within driving distance since they are in Fort Collins but I would prefer to have a 50/50 split on non-conference matches included in my season ticket package.

Didn't CU host the Big 1G/Pac 12 challenge last season? I'm guessing that rotates home/away and that is two of the matches in non-conference.

Yes, CU hosted last season. I think this is the third year in the rotation. I believe UCLA played in year 1 with CU taking their place last year.

I don't know how many years the challenge is supposed to be held either. Have to look and see where Illinois plays their matches. I know they draw good crowds and even have a audio stream. Those matches will be big tests for CU.

Illini web site is nice for this. Gives you a map from your location to the arena. It shouldn't be a bad drive for you. (Yes, I gave it passing thought but not happening from here)

Will most likely go to Champaign. I see that isn't where basketball is played. Once it's closer I will contact VB office at a ticket.

Especially for those who mentioned they might be going to Illinois, assume you'd see it anyways (CU's schedule has already been updated), but wanted to mention the start of the Illinois - CU match on Sept. 9th has been changed to 2:30 PM CT, 1:30 MT (Per http://www.fightingillini.com/news/...ade-for-saturday-of-b1g-pac-12-challenge.aspx ).

 

[buffgal]

Thank you. That will get the Buffs on the way home earlier in the day.

Won't be going to Illinois after all. Hotel rooms are outrageous so I looked at football schedule. Sure enough, there is a home football game on September 9.
