I am sure it has been said and debated for years and years, but CSU is a completely unnecessary football program! All it does is take away the depth of the Buffs, the only Power 5 program in the state that is capable of winning a National Championship! The reason that the Huskers are competitive is that there is no other program in the state to take away the prestige and the focus on the program. The University of Nebraska system actually cancelled and eliminated the football program at UNO (Omaha) so that there was never a chance for growth or other distractions. Omaha is actually now Division 1 for Hockey, Basketball, and Soccer and will be pretty successful. Without a CSU program, the entire state would be focused on CU and pulling for the same thing, just like our dear Broncos. I hate that there is a new stadium up there, and I hate that part of the state is split in loyalty and love for two programs, one that CAN win a National Championship, and one that CANNOT win a National Championship and that contributes to the challenge of competing for one! I wish there were 4 super conferences playing for the Top 4 CFP spots and every team from 49 and on could just play in a D2 type of league with playoffs and there own little celebrations. That way the real big boys would all focus on going to the right school.
Man am I fired up for Friday and angry as hell tonight.
