gasm is just angry he isn't as smart and good looking as his twin brother.
Wait who beat who last year?
Russell pays $500k. The Nike contract is going to be $1-2 million. So yeah, pretty big difference
Gotta love the Elitist attitude from the CU fans. 10+ years of BCS money + recruiting has sure gotten you no where. A terrible football team that loses to Toledo and Montana State. A worse basketball program than CSU and a worse volleyball program. Looks like you have a lot to show for all that money.
Meh. CU got $1-2 million from sending Embree and the boys out to Columbus to play the Ohio State body bag game last year.Russell pays $500k. The Nike contract is going to be $1-2 million. So yeah, pretty big difference

Did I miss something?

"DC it has been real, heading back to my second home in Colorado in a few hours. Finally, get away from some fake individuals. However, It was good to see a lot of people faces especially my family. Now, I am gone back to handle business in the classroom and on the field. Thank you God for keeping me safe from the demons. DC show some support on Sept 2nd on ESPN we take on CSU check us out. God Bless!"
Only a matter of time before Notre Dame, Texas and Michigan engage in a 3 way bidding war to play in CSU's new sandbox. Keep hope alive.
Or more games with North Dakota. Either way, really.

North Dakota is freaking unstoppable. The Bison fans are going to take over Hughes and hang half a hundred on the Rams. It will be like a home game for them. Or so I've heard.
Our fans are elitist?
I like his line of thinking actually. I think they should really go with this and end the series. Immediately. It's obviously not a good deal for them. They really do need to look at a bigger name BCS program. It's for their own good. I hope somebody is on the phone with Captain Jack right now and expressing his/her desire to drop the CU series.

Stadium drawings were released tonight
Beer Fight is now my favorite Ramnation poster for suggesting CSU drop the series.
Both fan bases can build on this common goal.
AFA for a home and home, please.
Jack Graham thinks they can raise $250MM to $500MM with some debt financing.
I guess they predict a 22% increase in attendance.... which would only put them at 37k
Getting some nice artist drawings is easy.
I still haven't heard where the money is coming from. For a program that thought the Stryker donation was their ticket to the big time fully funding this stadium is a huge step up from anything they have ever done before.
Even if they do build it they haven't shown anything to say they can fill it with fans either. It will likely end up as a huge white elephant. One of the most expensive stadiums in the FCS.
They have to have donors lined up if they are this far down the line.
What is curious to me is the comments about debt financing. I don't know how they can be confident in their revenue streams to pursue such a thing - although rates are probably pretty good.
Elitist attitude with relation to CSU? Absolutely! We own you in all time series in every freaking sport by a wide margin! Your crap school couldn't hold our jock. We have a national championship in football, numerous conference championships and top 25 finishes, and dozens upon dozens of All Americans and NFL draft picks. Our worse basketball program owns yours all time. Hate to break it to you, but CU athletics didn't begin in 2006. Go back about another 120 years. We are better at everything, and it is only going to get worse for CSU. If you take your green colored glasses off and objectively looks at the two schools athletic programs historically you will understand what we are talking about. But you won't, because you aren't willing to concede to actual cold hard facts.
Yeah, its a risk/reward scenario but the bankruptcy scenario is effing hilarious. The new stadium is going to increase revenue for the athletic department/university by several millions.
If CSU can compile $530mil in a 3 year campaign for academics and roughly a billion in campus renovations, I don't think $ should be a problem.
If we win in Football, then it doesn't matter, the money problem will sort itself out. We already scrapping Russell for Nike. The $ in the AD is at an all time high
How far down the line are they? Pretty pictures and a lot of big talk. I don't believe they have the donors lined up, if they did we would be hearing about it in more solid terms. I also share your doubts about the revenue streams.
Much more likely is this being a last gasp attempt to keep from being pushed to permanent obscurity and giving up their dreams of being a big-time program.
