Screw it...I'm going to do tomorrow and Sunday as well.
This man never lost to CSU when playing for the Buffs.
Rodney Stewart ran 19 times for 101 yards in a win over CSU in 2011. 16 times for 68 yards and a TD in the 2010 game. Ran 6 times for 39 yards and a TD in a loss. 2008 was his debut and he had four carries for 38 yards.
3-1 against the lambs during the Hawkins years.

Not unexpected news about the overall season tickets. I looked back at Howell's tweets about student tickets from past Rocky Mountain Showdowns and this is indeed a very good pace. It's close to the total from 2015 and ahead of the total from 2013. It's ahead of the pace from 2016 and just a smidge behind last year. Student section is gonna be full.
(if we win)
And that's fine. We are who we are. At least we have the potential to fill the stadium. 2016 renewed my faith that our bandwagon can still fill up! (in football, basketball is broken)
I meant that the student section is gonna be full for this game in particular.
And you're right. There are only so many true CU football fans. You need to get casuals from Denver and the surrounding area involved if you want sellouts.
Their O-line looks a little more experienced than I think we've been giving them credit for. And their backfield looks, well not legit, but better than serviceable.
Phil Steele has them almost dead last in all FBS in returning experience and projects them in full rebuild. Buffs should win this game. Relatively easily.Their O-line looks a little more experienced than I think we've been giving them credit for. And their backfield looks, well not legit, but better than serviceable.
Nah, I have it on good authority that they have a P12 level QB and a ridiculous amount of weapons at WR and RB. Plus, their OL is ALWAYS elite, and with their new DC, they should supposedly have an amazing defense.
Yeah. As usual, we are ****ed.
And outside of Dee Hart 4 years ago, none of that talent has done much against us.
Define much.
Dalyn Dawkins: 118 yards rushing/59 yards receiving/1 TD (2015)
Rashard Higgins: 125 yards receiving/1 TD (2015)
Detrich Clark: 72 yards receiving (2017)
Olabisi Johnson: 71 yards receiving (2017)
Michael Gallup: 67 yards receiving (2017)
They generally have some guys who can play on that side of the ball.
Fair. I was more referring to an 0-3 record in those years, two of them by double digit margins.
We dominated in 2016. Really could have named the score. 2017 was an odd game. We won, but it was ugly, particularly the second half.
I think we win by 10-14 points (fairly comfortable cover), but it would not surprise me at all if their offense is able to move the ball.

Switched to a 4-3 D this year. That’s amazing
Yep. I have very little faith in our DC. I think Baer was better so far.

Isn't that what everyone has been saying for two years now?
Oddsshark’s model has CSU winning outright...

Okay then!
Their model usually takes on contrarian approaches. I would be surprised if csu scores as much as their model predicts.
Contrarian approaches to odds making?
Every odds maker in the country has CU as a 6.5-7 pt favorite, and Oddshark is predicting a 12 point win the other way. Contrarian would be accurate I guess
If you are just looking at stats to make your odds, it make sense. CU returns almost all of what was a poor defense last year, and CU lost almost all offensive production.
Contrarian odds selection. 97% of the ATS bets in Vegas are on the Buffs. They’re betting against the public consensus in a huge way.
Yes, I understand that.
I guess I'm challenging the mere purpose or sustainability of a so-called contrarian oddsmaker. It's the easiest thing in the world to do--simply predict the opposite of what everybody else predicts. I just don't understand how such a service would be credible or useful.
