I think he's referencing the fact that he doesn't call CU games regularly, but that could be my interpretation

FWIW - strategically, I hope Stanford beats USC. North v South deal.
I would say as an alum/fan it would be harder to contain myself announcing a CU game than an OSU alum who's used to seeing his team win all the time.
I wish I could share everyone's confidence here- This is what I think we've got going against CU hosting:
- CU is not as "football-mad" as other locations
- CU doesn't play anyone of note before that game, so there is a chance that CU won't be ranked. CU has to leapfrog both Utah and UCLA while playing nobodies.
- Could ESPN want to wait to see if USC-CU is a better matchup?
- There may be higher-ranked matchups. Here are the contenders IMO from most to least likely to feature a ranked matchup (current ranking in parenthesis):
- TCU (23) @ Okie Lite (11)- both are currently ranked. They do have away games at Pitt and Arkansas, respectively, but probably both will still be undefeated. On the downside, Okie Lite has hosted way more recently (2015) and has a better game left (OU-OSU)
- UCLA (2nd Receiving Votes) @ Furd (14)- UCLA has plenty of eyeballs from the national game last week, and they already are getting more votes than CU. if they come out and beat their opponents (who are tougher than what CU will face), they likely will be ranked. Stanford also has only hosted once (2011). However, Stanford doesn't show out very well, and has a more attractive matchup later in the season (hosting UW)
- Bama (1) @ Vandy (T-16th receiving votes)- Vandy plays KSU the week before, so could be ranked but would need help. Gameday has also never been to Vandy and also benefits from pushing SEC
- Penn State (4) @ Iowa (14th receiving votes)- Iowa was almost ranked at the end of last season, is getting votes currently, and if they start undefeated could get ranked considering they play a P5 school next
- USC (6) @ Cal (15th receiving votes)- Cal is getting votes, but would need a lot of help to get ranked prior to this game. Cal has also never hosted so there is novelty.
- Auburn (13) @ Mizzou- if Mizzou beats 3 P5 teams to open the season, they may be ranked, and ESPN has incentive to push an SEC game if all else is equal
- Miss State (T-16th receiving votes) @ Georgia (15)- I don't think this is very likely at all, but Miss State plays LSU the week prior and if they get ranked...
CU-UW is Saturday, September 23rd.
Huh? It's scheduled for Saturday, September 23rd with time TBD.
They just did a Bama game this past weekend so I think you can throw that one out. They also aren't going to waste another SEC matchup on Auburn-Mizzou or Miss St. Georgia.
Thanks. Dude had me worried for a second.
I was really happy for a moment since I am in a wedding on the 23rd and can't go to the game lol.
They can save an Auburn trip for the Iron Bowl this year.
Yup, surprisingly not a lot of competition that weekend with OU-OSU moving to earlier in the season and them going to tOSU-Michigan last year. Only game I could see developing into something it OU-West Virginia but WVU would have to win out.
Yep. If anything, we'll end up getting pissed at Fowler the way tOSU fans get pissed at Herbie for not being enough of a homer on the broadcast.
Just look at how some people freaked out when Fowler still hosted GameDay and he never showed enough love to the Buffs.
My mistake- I thought it was scheduled for Saturday, too, but I looked at the schedule on ESPN to put this together:
However, upon further review, I see that pretty much everywhere else has it as Saturday.
ESPN is wrong. The CU ticket website is selling tickets for 9/23.
You scared me. That might be the one game I'm able to go to this year and have multiple people coming in from out of state for it.
Yeah, I just bought a flight out there getting in late Friday evening.
The timing of this game is gonna be interesting. If it's a 6 PM game, I'm gonna have to cancel on a show at red rocks. Which would be fine, but would change the day from all time epic to just epic.
Fox already has ND/MSU for that time slot, FWIW.
FBI Investigation!!! CSU is trying to induce confusion so the Buffs and our fans don't show up on time and are forced to forfeit.
Fowler would be damned if he did, damned if he didn't. Some asshole would find something to complain about. I'm fine with his position on it, he's earned it.
What does ABC/ESPN have?
Nothing. Once conference play starts the networks usually make their picks 12 days before the game (hence my surprise FOX had already picked that one), so we'll know something Monday next week. Think 5.30 ESPN, 6 ABC, 8 ESPN and FS1 are all in play here and would expect a night game on a major network.

Hell, look at Flo. No telling how much money she's made with her commercials.
