2023 Colorado Football Schedule & Future Schedules

Should have been ESPN game day!
They’re good for national exposure…. but not fun for tailgating and the whole game day experience!

ESPN will likely be in Pullman for Wisconsin-Washington State (which got the ABC prime time slot).
I'm sure the conference had something to do with this.
At least 5 nationally televised games
But but but I’m too hungover to get up before 10:00AM on a Saturday morning!
after seeing those Cornhuskers crying over another loss against CU? Those young ones must be protected!
I would normally hate the late starts for home games, but with kids, this is fantastic. I don't need to use a full day of dad points.
Isn’t that just 1800 for you?
10am is a great time except for it completely ****s people who want to tailgate...
And the entire football nation watching.
It depends on when they open the lots. I'm fully capable of dawn drinking.
8am has been the standard time since at least RG took over if not before. Not sure if that is a Boulder ordinance, a stipulation in Argus' contract, or a CU Boulder procedure or some mixture of the three.
6 am baby
Great for Europe though.
If the Fox Big Noon crew comes to campus for the NU broadcast, where do they set up shop? Farrand Field? Franklin Field? Norlin Quad? Someplace else? Hopefully it will be a day of great exposure for CU/Boulder nationally. Go Buffs!!
Looks like a lot of future schedule dates open up with Big 12 members becoming conference opponents.
Yeah, it will be very interesting to see how they are filled, as it could be an early indication of which P2 conference RG is aiming for.
It's going to be challenging to get B1G or SEC to travel to Colorado.
I think we'll see some ACC matchups, which can put us in both B1G and SEC country.
The cream of both, yes. Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, MSU, etc have all shown propensity to travel. SEC is different but Auburn is in Berkeley this year. Florida is on CU’s future schedule. I think it’d be fine
I think we'd have more success getting home/home with B1G teams than SEC teams. Obviously, we're a fan favorite for NU, and it really is a good game for selling tickets and driving tv ratings for both schools.
Also, remind me if the B12 still allows the schools to sell their own OOC rights? If that's the case, I think you'll see RG try and go as big as he can manage. It's got to be annoying him greatly that he can't book the revenue from this year's NU game in Boulder.
But, if he starts getting OOC games against Texas, OU, Mizzou, Arky, etc, you've got to think his goal is the SEC. If the OOC slate is getting filled with NU, Iowa, Illinois, MSU, etc, that will also be a tip of the hand.
ACC teams, while interesting, wouldn't necessarily serve a strategic purpose IMO, and so would actually surprise me. Pac teams (if the Pac still exists) would be an attempt at managing alumni relations more than anything IMO.
From ACC I could see him trying for FSU or Miami if they have availability. From SEC, I could see Prime and Saban (who have a relationship with their Aflac partnerships) maybe looking for something. Definitely UT and LSU.
From the B1G, I think Nebraska should be an annual game and contract should be solidified for years to come. Other B1G games could be Purdue with Walters, Illinois (RGs alma mater), Iowa and Wisconsin. I doubt MSU would be something RG would try with Tucker there
