2023 Colorado Football Schedule & Future Schedules

I was just discussing with someone how Florida and Missouri and A&M were coming and he replied, “you know why the smaller schools schedule the big schools? So they get that big payday.”

I replied CU isn’t a small school and he replied, “look at the conference they play in.”

I pulled my shank from my cargos and stabbed that mother ****er.

You have to love the versatility of cargo shorts and the ability to carry multiple shanks.
 
One of the really great things about our schedule so far, (although I think A&M has a clause to play at mile high?) is that they’re all in Boulder. None of this neutral site bull**** USC does with Bama when they get slaughtered.

I agree and feel the same way about CSU and AFA.

Playing Air Force is a good thing. Frankly, I'm pissed off it took this long to get them back on the schedule. That game is going to be national (even if it means at 8:30 start). The Florida series is a BIG deal-that program doesn't leave the state outside of SEC play. As far as future dates with CSU-they're not much more interesting than UNC is to me.

Why? The only reason why can come up with is that it is a short roady for CU fans living in the Denver area. There is no recruiting value, no spotlight value, no national television distribution value, and no upside.

Service academy match ups against P5 opponents tend to get picked up by the bigger networks.
It is an easy road trip for fans in the region
Games at Falcon Stadium are awesome
You are likely correct on recruiting, although it has a good chance to be a victory on national TV, so there is some potential there.

First time we've played 'em since like the 1970s. 60 miles apart. It will be on national TV in a late window-Most teams in our league are either playing road games in the Eastern time zone (ASU/Stanford) or cupcakes (Utah).....USC and BYU will play that day in Provo, and UCLA is playing Oklahoma at home that weekend, but that's gotta be earlier because its a sexier game from a ratings perspective.

cost is the other factor. In terms of "most prominent team to play for the dollar" I don't think CU can do better than AFA.
 
Loving the idea of more SEC games.

Colorado might never face the nation’s most difficult non-conference football schedule, but credit Buffaloes athletic director Rick George for his consistency. George could reasonably argue that no Power Five program will give fans more bang for their buck over the next decade.

Howell pointed out that in seven of the next 10 seasons, the Buffaloes will play Power Five opponents in 11 of their 12 games, counting their nine-game Pac-12 slate. Exactly how rare is that level of scheduling? Only five of the 65 Power Five teams will play as many as 11 major-conference opponents in 2019 alone, much less in nearly every season for the next decade.

There was speculation that the AFA game would get national distribution but it’s on the Pac-12 Network instead. This game is crap for CU except for the Buff fans that can have an easy roadie to an away game.

It’s in Boulder this year, but yes, next year will be an easy road game

Two things-One, I didn't expect ESPN to pick a game between a 5 win Pac 12 team and a garbage MWC team that has been consistently showing up in the bottom 25 of pretty much everybody's preseason rankings.......could be all about making sure they got CMT's (who was the top available assistant ready to move up) debut? Who knows. Definitely wasn't because we're playing an opponent that has any cache or scary in any way in our opener. Two, we're on P12N for AFA because we're on national TV for CSU in my opinion. Disagree if you like.
