Yep...if they were smart they'd go all in on basketball facilities, but...they aren't.
GASM will more than likely be the first one to get an invitiation to inhabit the detox facility due to the binge he will be on when they not chosen for a power conference.
Their ego/delusions would never let them do it but they should forget about BCS level football, they don't have and won't have the support or the resources to ever compete.
Instead they should build a very nice FCS level on-campus stadium with a capacity of 16-18k and set their sights on being an FCS power which they very realistically could do.
At that level a stadium of that size would mean that when they are winning there would be just enough of a shortage of seats for big games to make tickets desirable and motivate people to buy them to get into the mix.
At 35k plus they will never sell out. Nobody will ever feel the need to buy a season ticket because they will know that they can walk-up and get into any home game they want.
Traditions.. Like celebrating a win over a cross border rival in front of dozens of your fans. Yep, that's a CSU tradition alright.
Speaking of which, I'm going to be 'upgrading the stadium' in my backyard on Saturday. I have 4 cubic yards of dirt coming, and we bought some new boxwood shrubs. Should be fun.

You should be getting interest from the finest gated communities in town about joining them by Monday...
Laugh now assholes. I've already booked Lady Gaga for September, and I've got some nibbles for family reunions.
Hey that's mean. Most of their players had no other options to play football in college. :huh:
Unfortunately, this also makes it easy to not by Buffs tickets these days. Bohn selling all tickets remaining game week at a firesale added to it.

If I were you, I would dig a hole and bury that dirt.
Is it bad that I read "nipples" rather than "nibbles" at first glance? Can I get an invite?
Yep. J.R.'s family has got them like nobody's business.

Very true but if they were to win 10 games a year for 3-4 years this would still be the case for them. They couldn't sell out when they were nationally ranked.
CU on the other hand wins 8 games a year for a couple years and get a couple of bowls and we will easily sell out for games against teams like USC and Stanford. We still won't sell out every game but there will be a reason to worry about getting good seats for key games.
Sorry, but I'm not into your family.
You make it sound like an ointment.

Yes they're on the verge of dropping down to being small-time (even smaller than they already are...), but the thing is, even if they were to miraculously build this on-campus stadium it still wouldn't guarantee that they'd become relevant.
Even if they build the stadium and even if they see a substantial boost in attendance it won't be enough to bring them up to the big time.
They should build an on-campus stadium. Something that seats 16-20 thousand and then go on to be a dominant program in FCS.
There's part of me that thinks that. Just because the support isn't where it should be. I mean, I look at how CU struggles with raising money and drawing huge crowds for athletics and it's completely out of whack with anywhere in the nation outside of the northeast. So then you have CSU that doesn't have the same conference affiliations, hasn't had much success in its history, and the problem is compounded. By any other measure, CSU is more worthy of competing with the big boys on facilities and whatnot than a good number of current P5 programs. But they just can't get there. Hell, when a number of folks who follow CU question whether it can be a consistent Top 30 program in this day and age it really sheds light on how far away CSU would be when averaging 35k for home games looks like a pipe dream.
Maybe they should avoid all the costs that are coming and look at the future a different way. I don't know.
