Which away games will you be attending this year?
There was a large contingent of CU fans from Colorado at the last Cal game that I knew of. And lets flip this around. How many Big 8 or 12 schools have a lot of fans living in Colorado? A **** Ton. how many of them traveled for the game from their ****tastic areas? Alumni bases drive away game presence except in rare caess. There just isn't enough $ for fan bases to travel long distances on the reg for the most part.
This mad eme think of something... the kNU traveling posse will be interesting to watch in the B1G. They had b uilt in fan bases around much of the old big 8 schools, and only really had to travel to 1 or 2 games per year in the south to make a showing. Now they will have to travel to every game. I bet kNU won't have nearly as big an away game presence in the B1G.

Went to the CSU game. I live in KC, so that's an away game for me.
Ouch, I'm sorry. That is one hell of a ****** game to travel too.
I don't see what difference it makes. How many NU/KSU/UT/OU fans that infested Folsom over the last 20 or so years are from those places?
imo, probably a lot. colorado is a great place for a vacation.

You travel to see your team not the place.
folks from places like alabama are looking for any possible reason to leave, if only for a weekend. :rofl:
more seriously, i am suprised the sec would take wvu--- they are going to suck.
Spoken like someone who shares a league with Starkville, Fayetteville and Auburn.... :lol:
hey, fayetteville is like the french riviera compared to waco or little manhattan. and, besides, isn't fayetteville like really close to branson mizzery. so, you can combine trips and go watch washed-up 90 year old country and western singers lip synch their greatest hits. so they have that going for them, too.

getting back to conferences; the 16-team conferences just mean more power, control and $ to those who run things. Sorta like how the BCS came in, made themselves the football gods and changed a lot of things
It would be better for the fans, if they stayed small (8?), but that won't happen

Aspen, Vail, Steamboat, etc. I could go on. Colorado has 300 days of sunshine, some of the best skiing in the world, great hiking, healthy, great night life in Denver. But I'd rather live in Alabama than Boulder.
i liked fayetteville a lot when i went there. lots of walmarts, but pretty SEC women, and dickson street is a blast.
Fayetteville is a bit isolated, but I have heard good reports from several people who have visited. Really the only locale that gets roundly dumped on is Starkville. But admittedly some of the college towns in the south are not for everyone.
yep, i like the south. moss on the trees, really cool architecture, friendly people for the most part.
i thought that was all resolved in the 60's and 70's...

I lived in Colorado Springs for 12 years. I got to see a few of old friends.

I knew a few Husker fans who loved traveling to Boulder and Estes Park every other year when we were in the Big 8 and 12. Didn't really make any difference though. They would travel to the worst places just to support their team.

If you want to know about the relative difference between CU fans travelling to Big XII cities and other Big XII fans travelling to Colorado all you have to do is spent some time in the town where I live then go to those states we are comparing to. On any given summer day 20% or more of the cars going through town have license plates from Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Mizzouri, Iowa, etc. These people are coming here with or without a game to see, the game just gives them an excuse to come here. All those towns and cities if you see a Colorado car it is either passing through on the way to someplace else or they are coming back to visit relatives.
To think that some school has great fans because they use games as an excuse to get out of their boring states and come someplace they want to visit anyways sounds like the same kind of thinking that allows fusker fans to think they are one step from a national championship each year after they beat the little sisters of the poor in the OOC.

The 2011 promo tape sez CU ranks #1 in Peace Corps Volunteers.
CU would muster a better crowd in Mali, Bangladesh or Guatamala than Manhattan, Lubbock or Stillwater.
