I'm sure he had offers from most of the SEC schools at the time
He had interest, I wonder how many of those schools were really after him. Strange that he would end up at Colorado if they were.
Memphis beating Tulane helps the Big12

Now hopefully Oregon State beats Potato State.
It is very possible, Oregon State played good last week and still has slightly better players

Think Positive and life will be Positive.
Can’t believe we unretired Byron’s number for him.
They are bad. They have a lot of key players out due to injuries but even with those guys they wouldn't be one of the more talented teams in the league.
This year has to have been frustrating and he has a lot of rebuilding to do to get back to competitive.
This is REALLY misleading.
Iowa State
BYU
ASU
are the 3 that really have the best chance (even though I understand that they don't have the highest number of scenarios)
Sheep look disinterested, Utah State isn't a very good team by they have some talented individuals. CSU can be CSU and slide towards the mediocre.
Looks on TV like they are lucky if they have 20,000 there, huge sections of the stadium are completely empty.
Official seating capacity is 36,500 with a standing room included total of 41,000.
Interesting that since it has been opened in 2017 they have had a total of 6 games that reached or exceded the 36,500 number. No coincidence that 3 of those are this year, a year that they played CU at home (the only game they have ever come close to the 41,000 capacity) and only sold tickets to the CU game in season ticket packages or as a part of a 3 game package. They won't release the information but I wonder how many of those tickets to the CU game went to CU fans who didn't bother to show up for the other 2 games but those "distributed" tickets still ended up in the attendance figures.
Since 2017 they have had a total of 18 games with tickets sold exceding 30,000. To put it in perspective even in the depths of the Buffaloes worst recent years Folsom rarely saw below 35,000 and was usually between 40,000 and 50,000.
Oh and by the way, CSU season ticket prices this year ran from $270 - $1855 including mandatory donation with all but 3 small sections $800 or less. In comparison according to Statista the average single game price for a ticket to a CU home game in 2023 was $517.

one of things i dislike most about the SEC success fellatio ESPN deal, admitted championships, is that we are supposed to admit the Egg Bowl one of the great rivalries.
c'mon?
c'mon?
My son is now there with a former college teammate whose brother plays for USU. Both said they drew more fans in HS and college. His teammate is from Baton Rouge and is absolutely horrified.
Folks in the state of Mississippi seem to enjoy it.
Nationally, it's about as relevant as Arizona-ASU.

Putting CU v. Nebraska aside, both the iron bowl and the egg bowl are my favorite rivalry games to watch.Folks in the state of Mississippi seem to enjoy it.

Do you have a connection to MS?
I get the Iron Bowl. That's right there with UT-OU, UM-OSU, FSU-Miami and ND-USC.
I can't remember another year where we got to spend 3 or more weekends enjoying a win and just watching football

Just for the hell of it, I purchased 2 season tickets this year to Coastal Carolina. All seats are $120 with a tiered donation of $35, $50 or $80 to determine what section you want to sit in, I donated at the $50 level. It’s the Sunbelt Conference, but the games are fun to attend, and the stadium, which seats 21,000, is usually full. IMO, The CSU stadium is too big.

Yes, I lived in Hattiesburg from 2000-2005
As is their opinion of where they stand in the college football world.
Going to be interesting to see what happens to many of these programs when college football finally settles out to deal with the new world of paying players, media dollars more concentrated into the major conferences, and everything that goes with it.
What happens to their attendance and donations when they are left out of the upper level and forced to accept being in the equivelent of FCS.
They aren't "big time" now but as long as they are in a BCS level conference they can imagine and pretend. At some point that ends.
See my post above. Program should be FCS.
