CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

The Buffs are walking into a much much better situation with the Big12 in terms of platforms and places for our games. No more P12N to make us disappear, and you know that we will be getting almost all the best spots throughout the year on ESPN.
One thing we need to is schedule OOC very strong, contrary to thoughts of a weaker schedule.
Publicity is better than anything for us, so do we not look at North Dakota and CSU as games to get rid of?
Go get Oregon State and Washington State for those!

Anyway we can get Sims as QB again for those Georgia Tech games?
Tbh I stopped reading this thread about 705 pages ago
Me too! Hadn’t read in weeks and checked it today and saw that it had become focused on truck stops.
****ing Big12.

WTF?
I apologize for giving you the benefit of the doubt originally. My mistake. Won't insult you further by doing it again.
It's Big 10 country but that's what I have heard they do at truck stops in Nebraska.
Which one?? Indiana / Northwestern? Maryland / Rutgers? Minnesota / Rutgers? Iowa / Northwestern? I’m vomiting typing this.
Asking for details on a subject to which nobody would have any details and you think that’s giving the benefit of the doubt? Sure thing Jimmy.
I know it.
For example, the way I see it, UW will add two interesting matchups every year. Vs OSU or Mich or Pedo St.
The other interesting games are games they are already playing. USC Oregon UCLA. I really don’t think that TV deal is going to be profitable for the networks.

I think we all know who the real kingmaker was in all of that.
CU leaves, and a week later, the house of cards collapses.
KSU v OSU was on Yesterday and I threw up in my mouth just thinking about it.
Other than Coach Prime and TCU the rest of the conference were joining’s football interest is limited to the state the team in question resides in. And in some cases those teams are even highly regionally limited within their respective states (TT to UT, a UCF to UF/FSU/UM, an OSU to OU). Over time these uncompelling matchups could be a problem for CU.
I share this concern, but I think that the lack of a clear marquee brand could make things a bit more compelling as the brands struggle for supremacy. (I hope)

Yeah. With a healthy Rising, Utah is easily the best this year. Struggling at the moment, though.
I also think UA and TTU are likely to ascend a bit as the year progresses.
I may have missed it (I have not peeked into this thread after the change was announced), has the Big 12 announced divisions yet?
The rivalry with Utah might actually be fully embraced when we are playing each other over and over for conference titles
I truly think a heated rivalry could build with BYU. Talk about two diametrically opposed schools/fanbases.
I don't think we'll have divisions. Everyone is going away from that. Better chance of sending teams to the playoffs if your best 2 teams play in the CCG.

Funny how a lot of middling Pac 12 teams think they're going to dominate the Big XII. Utah I understand, and you guys are justifiable, but I saw an AZ guy talking about running the conference. Even ASU thinks they could start to turn it around. I know none of the Hateful 8 were big football brands, but everyone but Kansas been good at some point over the last decade, which is more than you guys can say. Glad to see Pac 12 hubris will survive the conference. I was worried for a minute there.
Final record for you guys...6-6 I'd say...maybe you sneak to 7. About where I think my Cyclones will be. Bene a fun season so far, though.

CU won 10 games in 2016 and was in the Pac-12 Championship.
It's the most wide open conference in the P4 with no traditional blue blood and a bunch of teams that can't sustain high level success. That's why Utah is right in thinking it's probably going to be the heavy favorite to win the B12 next year. In year one with Prime, CU's recruiting class was better than every Big 12 program not named Texas and OU, which is also why CU fans are optimistic that the Buffs will probably be a co-favorite to win the conference.
