Lightning game was awesome. That TD pass when the huge lightning strike went off was spectacular. Knew we were going to win at that point. Would have probably blown it open if they hadn't had a stoppage for weather. Gave CSU time to regroup.

What would be really interesting and possibly very cool would be to see how many folks would come to Sports Authority to see a Colo School of Mines vs CSU-Pueblo game. An RMAC extravaganza. While a bit of sheen has left Mines since Stitt left for Missoula, and the CSU-P fans are probably a little economically challenged, I think the matchup would be a true LOCAL COLORADO experience, with all the petroleum engineers and legacy steel workers filling the stands for an emotional square-off. The Denver Post, Sandy Clough, and all the local inbreds could obsess to the max. Hell, I'd probably go if the price was right. Lets screw this local emphasis into a shimmering black hole and see where it goes. Throw in free parking. You just never know.

I don't think anyone would obsess about it. I think high school football in Pueblo likely is a bigger deal down there still.
Bell game sells out months in advance. They do turn out for CSU Pueblo football though. Thunderbowl officially seats 7,000 but they have regularly pack a couple thousand more into it.
They have huge community support down there and have had since the program came back, even before they were winning big time. Outside of the AFA their is no real competition for the football fans in the entire southern half of the state. It wouldn't surprise me to see them do another fund drive in the future to fund the program up to an FCS level including expanding seating capacity of the stadium upwards of 15,000.
All of the above. I did my part today. Renewed my tickets with the option of applying the funds for the CSU game to another game. 4 Tickets (also on the 48 yard line 25 rows up). Also donated to the Sustainable Excellence Fund as a thank you for the option. Double win for the Buffs!
When they give us the same 2:1 that CSU will ultimately succumb to, I am all in!
I would be okay with alternating years, but I wouldn't be a fan of playing both in the same year.
TCU would be a great game. Easy to travel to. Cool stadium, and campus atmosphere. Would like that a lot.
Aggie.... well aggie is better than UT.
A&M is an experience, been there a couple of times. TCU doesn't excite me, but it is a shorter drive so would probably go.
I'd like to play either one especially TCU. Have we ever played them before? I know we haven't since I've been watching, at least not that I recall.
Would be good for the team to go up against some elite level competition from other conferences prior to Pac 12 play, IMO. Would also help get CU back in the Texas recruiting market, which is clearly one of the main goals of this. Are there any rumors as to when the series would take place or if they'd just be Home and Home series?

TCU - yes. Inside the DFW area.
A&M - nah. Bryan/College Station is too far from Houston to be useful.
Should schedule Rice (and U houston) instead.

We have never played TCU before. What was the Rivals chatter exactly?
The chatter is we are in serious discussions with both schools and that agreements are likely. Obviously big for recruiting in the two big metro areas. But also think it is a good opportunity to re-engage Texas alums. Also gives fans some name brand teams for home games. Good to see. Hopefully just the beginning, would like to see more P5 schools going forward.
I'm not sure, I don't have rivals anymore. Tini, Nik, Duff, and some others have it I think. Oops too late, my bad.
This is the correct answer. Oh, and JR offered up his house as a place to stay for those traveling for the UH or Rice game. Generous, JR!
I bet we see years with two P5 schools going forward.
With 9 conference games I don't, unless many teams across the country start doing the same.
I see it as putting us at a major competitive disadvantage. I don't see us scheduling 11 P5 teams in a year outside of a conference title year where we play the North winner. Unless a bunch of other schools are doing it there's no need to put ourselves at that disadvantage.
It is not like we are scheduling powerhouses. TCU is on an upswing now, but that probably will not last. In any given year, we are going to be (hopefully) safely in the 7-8 win range. An extra P5 game is going to ruin the season? Seems far-fetched.
I'm OK with either, but prefer TCU. Aggie is... aggie. Those people are just weird. Depending on how good CU is at the time, I could definitely see myself going to Ft. Worth to take in a game. Collie station? nah. If I want to see a bunch of goose stepping neanderthals, I'll watch the History Channel.
If we start to schedule 2 PF teams do you think that would be the end of the CSU game or no?
Could get flights on southwest to Ft Worth/Dallas for under $200 round trip. Would be a popular trip for lots of CU fans I think.
The end of the CSU series is happening in 2020. If it goes beyond that, then CSU is going to give us the 2-1 setup that we should have had from the beginning.
It would be a pretty strong signal to me.
