That schedule is not any better, it might be worse.

I picked SMU because it opens an other door to DFW recruiting while allowing the parents of DFW players a chance to see their kids...and I can walk to that stadium from my house.:smile2:
Sweet. Skiddy just volunteered to host the pre/post game party. :thumbsup:
i'd fly to tejas for that one. i'll bring whiskey and ammo.

If by most people you are including me, then you are correct. This game fails to capture my interest these days.
I have seen CU play CSU at Invesco, in Boulder and in Ft. Collins. I enjoyed Hughes more than Invesco because it was more fun tailgating at CSU and doing that 'pass out' thing. Boulder is just magic. Invesco is surrounded by a cruddy parkinglot to tailgate and the seats you get might be cruddy.
It's a simple case of 'been there, done that.'

Explain? Money? Level of competition?
I'd admit it's worse because there's no game in 2017. Pencil in SMU @ Boulder. My bad.
It also might be worse because of television revenue. However I'd point out that the CU-CSU game getting scheduled on a Sunday instead of a Saturday. If any of the games on my list were in a similar time slot devoid of others sporting events, then the national audience might actually be better because UNLV and SMU would bring two major markets instead of one, plus a killer tailgate. The AFA game would appeal to the armed service demographic, and would generate a big local buzz for historical reasons. And even the CU-CSU games would be energized by the outrage of CSU fans who didn't get their way.
As it is, we have one team at one location * 11 years.
Under my proposal, we have four teams and five venues plus an opportunity for some fun road trips, plus a seventh game in boulder every other year.

If CU can still get six Folsom games a year, I don't mind. May get recruits for the next 10 years excited about being able to play in an NFL stadium on national TV. The game's a game, let's win it the next 10 years and beyond.

Invesco sucks the college experience out of the college game. If I want to go to a cookie cutter pro stadium I'll line up with the ham-n-eggers at the Tampa Bay Bucs game, or seahawks, or Broncos or any other of the miriad of stadiums that have that big sterile feel.

BTW- per Mike Bohn this will result in 7 games in CO per season over the next 10 years and 8-10 million more over that time for CU than if the game was played in Folsom.

So basically he paid for the basketball practice facility and got us an extra drive-to game a year with this deal. I'm having trouble finding much fault with this move other than losing some scheduling variety.
