Update on the possible Hawaii game

[SpacemanSpiff]

Yes, I'm pretty sure they have a contingency plan in place to build a hotel and golf course in Boulder.

fify

Different meanings for the word, "secure."
If you told Navy personnel to "secure a building," they would turn off the lights and lock the doors.
The Army would occupy the building so no one could enter.
Marines would assault the building, capture it, and defend it with suppressive fire and close combat.
The Air Force, on the other hand, would take out a three-year lease with an option to buy.

Isn't AFA's AD still the same dude that hates CU because of what happened in the 70s?

Pretty sure that dude would say he wouldn't cross the street to piss on us if we were on fire.

Not likely that he's going to help us out.

The Air Force will not play CU.

I grew up in a military family and going to Air Force games as a kid so I can certainly understand the reasoning behind his stance given the circumstances, but I'd respect it more if they weren't willing to play us in basketball.

I think I remember that our club hockey teams played each other a few years back and it got so out of control that they put the kibosh on playing each other anymore. Maybe that's changed since. I dunno.

Is UTEP an option?

 

[BuffUp]

Just go with the 11 game schedule like it is. Sometimes things happen for a reason?

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

Is UTEP an option?

Shouldn't be. They already have 12 games scheduled and don't play a game AT Hawaii. They do have a bye week on Oct. 19., should there be some sort of NCAA waiver.

And lose the $4.5+ million payday? Not.

BTW -screw ncaa and their waiver... If people being killed and flooded out of their homes is not enough for them to approach us? then F them..

The fact that getting a waiver is seemingly doubtful, let alone even in question, is absurd.

You do understand that we're dealing with the NCAA, right? Doesn't sound so absurd now, does it?

do not want to - this is just so frustrating.

 

[Dark Bohner]

Hawaii can play 13 every season, too. Otherwise- teams haves to play AT Hawaii to get the 13th game.

Jeebus, people still haven't figured this out.

Dealing with an absurd organization makes it more absurd, not less absurd.

 

[sackman]

Disappointing that we won't be playing the fighting humuhumunukunukuapua'a. I was really looking forward to the luau.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

How much do we typically pay an FCS school to come in here? Anyone know what the payout to CAU was?

$370,000 iirc

 

[MtnBuff]

We should schedule CSU-Pueblo.

Own the entire CSU system.

Wristen at Pueblo is a good coach who has won a lot of games down there. They had a player from last years team drafted and another couple who got signed as UFAs. Based on the evidence CSU-Pueblo may be a better team and tougher opponent than CSU -Ft. Collins.

I don't understand Hawaii not taking the game, they need the money badly. Hopefully we can get SDSU interested or an Idaho, selling tickets would be easier for SDSU I would think and if it is used as a replacement game in the season ticket package would be much more acceptable than Idaho. Another FCS team would not be as popular with some who paid expecting to see at least an FBS level opponent.

Maybe we could apply for federal disaster aid?
