Yep. CSU game belongs on permanent moth balls.
This I actually agree with you on. I hate that game. Perfectly fine watching this year and next on TV. If you like it......more power to you. I don't care for it and it can't happen every year.
Random thoughts I have on the OOC-
1. I'm not going to be shocked if I hear about more games with UCLA soon. That makes too much sense. We're a fairly easy trip for their fans compared to Auburn or Georgia (both of whom they have on their schedule), and we need the California exposure now.
2. Do the SMU and North Texas series go away? I mean I don't think we need to be playing a boatload of Texas schools OOC-I'm sure the XII will have us down there 1-2 times a year.
3. Somebody brought up New Mexico in this thread-they have an opening in 2026 according to fbschedules.com. Hawaii also does in 2026-28, but there is no ****ing way I'd do anything more than a game or two in Boulder with them. We don't need to go out there.
4. On FCS games-I really don't give a rat's ass where the cupcake is from. If I can get Northern Colorado to come down for 300-350k and 1k extra tickets (or something like that), I'm doing that over anything. Those games are all about the cheapest deal a school at that level will come play you for, not the geography.
5. Air Force isn't happening right now-they're pretty well booked, and they have a formula they stick to. One cupcake, Army, Navy, and one big name team. CSU has 2-3 power teams on their OOC already in the years we're looking for games. They're likely not either. Wyoming's booked fairly solidly through most of this decade.
