CSU at Mile High is now the 2nd game for the Rams
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
I'd assume that they get the same number of practices and will get to start camp a week earlier.
Yea. Good news for them is they have 15 returning starters, bad news is those starters weren't very good last year compared to us.
Request to merge with the DZ pornographer thread
I still think the biggest improvement will happen for them between game 1 and game 2. Not saying they will beat us but this is nothing but a good thing for the Ewes.
Oh the HORROR!
The Rammies having an advantage vs the Buffs. Say it isn't so?

Sorry, this post could not be seen due to allbuffs having your dumb*** on ignore.
Please feel free to use either exit on the way out.
He's a ****ing c.untface.
The Sheep have one huge advantage they share with CU.
The don't have to live in ****braska! That alone is a huge positive in life.
It was a joke, but jackass away, I guess.
CU definitely has the advantage in all stages, but taking CSU lightly, especially this year, has shown to be a bad plan. Glad you're not CU's coach.

Perfect!
You continue to underestimate me.
Why is that dude wearing roller skates in the mud?
If that doesn't speak to you, you probably need to Amazon and purchase the entire CKY and Jackass collection.
If he is from CSU (or Nebraska) it probably means he likes tall sheep.

Come on Nik, you're smarter than that.
He's a jackass, like me!
You'll have to present some evidence. The ****ty threads would argue against your case.
I decided to do a little analysis of this, incorporating reams of data, advanced metrics, and a new statistic I created - advantage units - which will hereafter be referred to by their awesome saber name - advantits. This is a lot of very advanced math, but know that advantits measure the effect of a unique individual factor on a teams overall advantage in a given game compared to a hypothetical neutral game. The formula for advantits is highly proprietary, and trademark belongs to NWD Buff Metrics, LLC.
So, let's do this. Show us your advantits!
CSU advantits for:
Additional practices due to earlier start: +1.6
Projected physical toll from previous game: -1.3
Ability to "clean up" mistakes in second game against opponent playing first game: +2.2
Short week to gameplan: -0.8
Opponent having game film while you have none: -0.9
Psychological effect of getting crushed in new venue debut: -0.6
Pressure from facing inevitable 0-3 start with a loss: -0.2
Net CSU advantits: 0.0
So there you have it. There is no appreciable advantage or disadvantage to CSU against the Buffs from scheduling the Beavers game. You can't argue with math.
Yeah, I was bored.

I was going to ask for an "I love polls" option, but I think DBT used it in post #37

So glad that I am reading we don't even need to worry about the rams. I think I am going to sell my tickets and go camping labor day weekend. No use in watching the game, since they can't even hope to beat mighty CU.
Yes, it's their 2nd game, but there are multiple reasons that have been pointed out as to why this bodes well for CU. The roster talent and coaching the past decade hasn't really been on CU's side, but it very clearly is at this point.
CU should win. I expect to. I do not think we are going to annihilate them this year as we did last year because of the high degree of turnover on our defense. New DC, new DB Coach, new LB Coach, replacing 9 starters. That defense will be playing in its first game. CSU's offense should be much improved over last year. I expect the game to be high scoring and CU to win by 7-10pts in the end.
@TSchekler - Tini has your account passwords!
I think the number of starters being replaced is overstated a bit. Beyond Fo, Gamboa and McCartney returning, we've got a number of quasi starters returning (guys who have started or won POTY in the past) such as Moeller, White, Jackson, Oliver, Fisher and Falo. Then other upperclassmen for depth who have seen the field a lot such as Coleman, Franke and even Frazier if he plays defense along with JUCOs who are reinforcing the 2-deep and may even start such as Edwards, Mulumba, Wigley, Hamilton and George along with some upperclassmen who will play significant roles such as Lewis and Hasselbach. Yes, we lost a lot. But I've seen people call this defense "young" and I don't think that's the case. It's mostly upperclassmen and veteran except for the likelihood of a frosh or soph starting at CB2. It only starts skewing young if the talent from some of the underclassmen rise up... and that would be a very good thing.

Lol, not the first time I've seen the comparison, obviously. I understand the cautious optimism around this game, but CSU is a middling G5 team. I feel like there is more optimism from our fan base surrounding the UA and ASU games this year than this one... Just defies logic to me.
