CSU at Mile High is now the 2nd game for the Rams

Good or bad for CU that the Rams are playing an opener vs OSU ahead of the RMS?

That's only most of the time.

I'd like to blame spell check, but I'm listening to a Montez interview, so I will blame that instead.

Listened to all the podcasts and interviews I can get my hands on. Listening to the wonderful sounds of collegiate drum lines now. It is ****ing football season.

It is nice to not be the most rabid fan among a group of CU graduates. My "real life" CU friends didn't notice we were good last year until we beat Stanford and became bowl eligible. They had stopped paying attention 5+ years earlier.

PS - "Sure you have real life friends!" Now I just saved you posting that response.
 
Biggest difference I noticed last season once the Buffs were ranked is that people who know I'm a fan but usually don't pay any attention started asking me about the team. It wasn't like usual because I'd give a short answer with the assumption it was a polite thing coming from a "this is something I know Buffnik is interested in and I need to make conversation" place... they were actually engaged and asked follow-up questions. That had never happened before.

I also saw a lot more people in CU gear last year, particularly young people. It was slim pickings at a lot of stores because sales must have far exceeded their usual plan.

We literally had a player (not the smartest kid would be an understatement) during a preseason camp last year, say he'd rather go play for Wyoming than CU because "CU sucks". Same kid was decked out in Buffs gear by about mid season.

I took a minute and threw my stuff in the car so when I head to work in the morning, I'm not trying to remember to pack the right things for the game as well.

All done! Yeah - accept for those damn physical tickets. I had to go digging around my filing cabinet to find them. I knew I was going to (almost) forget them.

I remember I went to dicks to find a new shirt for the girlfriend before the Alamo bowl and right before Christmas. After about 10 minutes of wandering around the store some girl yelled "are you looking for CU gear?" I said yes and she then said they were sold out of it for the holidays and they hoped to have some after Christmas. This is in Parker which is also peak Nebraska territory lol.

We had similar problems finding something that would fit my nephew for the bowl game - he had outgrown all his gear that fit at the start of the season. Ended up having to ebay an old Hagan jersey for him.
