Go back to Baylor with that weaksauce, mister.
Is this a form of UBL-ing?

The idea of trucking in water would be cost prohibitive as would most plans for other sources of water.
That said if the will existed within CU and the state government there is no question that Boulder would provide water. The school has the power to make things much easier for Boulder by cooperating in other ways or to make life miserable for Boulder by the things they could do without the city's permission that the city doesn't want to happen. The same thing is true for action out of the statehouse to an even greater degree.
When and if CU decides to develop the south campus it will be developed and with Boulder water. It is just a question of what will be used to persuade the city to go along.
Yes, it is pretty awesome! Nice facility and very close to campus and downtown. It's going to serve a great need in the Lincoln area. It's going to be one of the best in the Country. Wouldn't it be something if the "nubs" won a conference championship! I agree, it probably won't happen for some time if ever.
Every major college city takes care of its major employers just the same as Boulder does for CU. I don't think it is fare to assume the only reason people live in Lincoln is because of the University.
Finally, you better do some fact checking when it comes jacking your jaws about the location of the arena. It's "not" in the middle of downtown. It's on the edge of the Hay Market area and takes up space where the railroad once had tracks, which have now been relocated to the west to allow for construction of the arena and the required parking. Seems it will fit perfectly with the master plan for the area.
Yes, I know that the University of Colorado is presently "King of the **** pile" when it comes to Pac 12 Basketball. Enjoy the ride while it lasts. I actually envy the Colorado Basketball program and what Coach Boyle brings to the table. He's the real deal and a great fit. I think he will stay in Boulder for a long time.
EDIT: Looks more and more like Nebraska has it's Basketball Coach.

I always enjoy seeing the nubs lose and never wish them well. That said Miles may have some success in Neb, he's a solid coach who did well with a lot less resources at CSU than he will have now. If he has some success I can see him staying there as well. He's from S. Dakota and prior to CSU spent a lot of his coaching career in the midwest/northern plains. NU is probably the closest he is going to get a major program to home and he knows a lot of the HSs and coaches. If they have some patience with him he could build a more solid program than the corn have had for years. The problem is that things didn't get any easier for them going to the B10 from the B12.
Well name one other reason people would live in Lincoln? I'm serious as a heart attack. Why? So they can live in the Hay Market area? Nebraska is literally good for one thing: putting the corn in my poop.
Yes, we will enjoy our ride in Basketball, and I feel pretty confident in saying the Nubs won't be sniffing our jocks for a long time.
Damn. I need to invest in corn futures!

Good luck to Miles, he's going to need it. Believe it or not, making CSU competitive in the MWC is a far easier task than making Nebraska a contender in the B1G. And new building a new arena doesn't just switch on a light bulb and make everything dandy for a long-struggling basketball program. We're talking about a Husker program that has literally NEVER won an NCAA Tournament game, and a fanbase that are all Creighton "fans" when hoops season comes around. This is going to be an uphill battle, to say the least. He's going to need 5-7 years to lay the groundwork and get this thing established.
Directional drilling! :lol:
^^This^^
Nobody in the MWC with budgets like Michigan and tOSU, histories like Indiana or Mich State. Uphill battle all the way just to get competitive. kNU should be used to that though after getting hammered year after year by Kansas, Mizzou, Okie Light, etc in the B12/Texas
But, but, If you ask them they are our equal, not little brother. They are big time, they deserve respect.
This is going to continue to happen to them. They are a steppingstone program. Any coach who has success is going to jump at the bigger money and resources that CSU can't match. The only exceptions are if they get somebody who is a program legacy who has strong loyalty to them (worked well with Fairchild :rofl:, or somebody who doesn't have a lot of other choices like Sonny who was old enough that his chances for major programs had passed him by.
They can talk all they want but until they figure out some magical way to bring their budget up off the floor this is going to happen every time they have a successful coach.
i am amused that our neighbor to the northeast can't seem to pull away from it's big brother and make its way on its own....
If this doesn't make them see the writing on the wall with McElwhine, they're not paying attention.... :lol:
They love COACH MAC
Despite his horrendous first recruiting class. They're convinced that he is recruiting kids, like Berk, away from CU :smile2:
How many wins does he need to get the offer that has him on the next moving van out of Ft. Collins? Does 6-6 with a minor bowl win get him out or does he have to win 7 in season?
Can't win for CSU. If he loses like SF did they can't afford to buy him out and get rid of him. If he wins he is gone faster than a beer in the hand of certain posters on this site. (I wanted to insert a "Snowballs" joke here but didn't know how many would remember that thread from a few days ago.)
