So it comes down to the fact that you're scared of CSU? They are a middling G5 team. Why the hell are we talking about how awesome it would be to play 1-2 BIG or SEC teams each year, but we need to get CSU off the schedule because we are worried about them beating us? We're talking about 5 years from now. The talent gap has been growing between the two programs each year and should continue, so if by 2023, the CSU game isn't a high win probability, CU has some serious problems.
Yeah, and I'm sure "any other FCS or bad G5 team" would give you a boner.
Gross, otherwise I agree.
CU-Nubs = prime afternoon slot on ABC. National exposure is good.
Ha, I get it, but they usually have a pretty good team. We could add Utah State to the list if it eases the pain.
Wyoming doesn't do much for me, but I wouldn't mind seeing Boise come to Boulder.
I like it because a lot of our talented CO players head up there, so it would give them a chance to come back to CO for a game. The last couple of years we would have been able to see Tanner Gentry and Austin Conway play the Buffs.
I’d rather mix it up. Playing NU is fine for a home/Home duo, but after that, let’s bring in some other teams. And while the CSU games don’t bother me, I generally feel the same way about them. No sense locking up an annual matchup every year when we have such limited OOC opportunities in the first place.
I'm totally fine with not playing CSU every year, and I would love to see more high profile opponents come to town. I just don't understand the pure hatred for the matchup like a lot of people here.
I don’t hate the matchup. It’s fine, but it also is getting stale and it doesn’t allow for much OOC scheduling flexibility.
I just want to go to fun cities and have fun fan bases visit boulder, that’s why I posted in the schedule forum that Wisconsin and Iowa are way up on my list. BYU just doesn’t do that for me.
This has nothing to do with the marquee matchup every year though. These are those filler games to compliment an A&M, TCU, Nebraska, etc.
More games in : 1) Texas. 2) South; 3) Midwest
No doubt but those schools also probably aren’t signing 2-1 deals.
Most of the G5 schools that aren’t in prime recruiting areas will. Wyoming has signed quite a few, Boise State just did a week ago. You can definitely get them, especially when you package it with a one for one in b-ball.
