Why would playing Air Force have anything to do with a "governor's cup"? Air Force is not a state school.

Big time college football?? Idk that type of thing usually works with three schools and Air Force has been the best football program in the state for a while now. Figure they should be included

But you're calling it a "Governor's cup?"
Just odd that you include a private federal school in your "Governor's cup". JMO.
(Before anyone says anything, I realize calling a school "private" does not go together with it being federally funded.)

Wouldn't mind playing AFA instead of the lammies, but not both as it would leave only one opening for the final OOC game.
Ah I see what you are saying. I was using the Governor's Cup as more of a reference. But some type of state title or state trophy is what I am getting at.
I also agree with what is said about playing the falcons instead of the rams. Would be a better matched game and if we lost it wouldnt hurt to bad since Air Force is playing good football at least the past few years they have been.

"Centennial Cup" then. All 3 schools are physically located in the Centennial State.
And the winner would celebrate by cooking turkey, with a ram shove in it, with a falcon shoved in the ram. A Tur-ram-con!

Wasn't this mostly a financial thing? I sure hope that with PAC-12 income we won't need to keep this non-sensical, non-home-game-for-anyone thing going.
If the Rivalry is going to continue I think it should be a home and home. Invesco is cool for a gee whiz kinda thing. Unless it sells out there is no point. The lack of college atmosphere in denver ruins the game IMO. This past year was just boring.
the problem with home and home is it costs us something like 800K in missed revenue to play at Hughes.
Then it should alternate between Invesco and Folsom. FOCO can suck it up.

they already have a trophy they pass back and forth with the winner engraved on it for each year
Unless CSU gets it's act together, and fast, this contract will very likely be the last one. These are two programs heading in vastly different directions at this juncture. With the Pac 12 scheduling 9 conference games per year, we'll want that extra OOC game to play with. The contract was signed when we were still operating under the auspices of an 8-game conference schedule. With a 9-game schedule, that CSU game is less attractive.
I suspect Utah is going to have a similar issue with their game against BYU. They want to play it. There's a lot of political pressure to play it, but reality is a bitch.

Let reality rule, sacky. So what if the lammies are broken hearted.
