First of all Idk how this thread has reached 43 pages... wasted on CSU.
Second OMFGasm, If you were on here 4 years ago after Hawk had us in the Independence bowl and had brought in a top 15 recruiting class, ya we would have had our gold colored glasses on and been acting like "elitists" The times have changed, our expectations have changed, and outlook on our football program has become more realistic. Having said that, we will still own you this year in the Rocky Mountain Snoozefest. I truly would like to end this series. for good. Or make it a rotation between some regional teams. You all hate the buffs, we hate this game. No reason to play it anymore. When CSU can sniff the top 50 in college football then we can restart this series, but I honestly don't see it happening.
Ram fans should be very scared of the future and what it holds for your football program. The powers are realigning, and the landscape is about to change in a way that will make your program one of the outsiders. One of the have-nots. When the big 4 go to 16 team super conferences, the NCAA will no longer hold the power. Those 64 teams will be the only ones that the nation at large will be interested in. Schools like CSU are about to lose out in a big way. I think Captain Jack sees this and knows this, and is doing all he can to market CSU to somebody, anybody that needs another team. I wish you all luck but you have too much ground to make up before you are relevant again. Your fans just do not care as a whole.
As far as basketball, ya you beat us this year, ya we both have excuses. You didnt have your best player and we missed a season high in free throws. I am ecstatic about this rivalry on the hardwood developing. I cant wait for you all to see a true college basketball atmosphere when you visit coors this year. This is the area that CSU should focus. They should put all their energy into becoming a top basketball power. Then, you can hope to become a kansas type school and matter to a conference because of your basketball, not your football. I do not see us losing either the basketball game or the football game this year. You all can have volleyball for now.
Sorry to say it but the clock is ticking towards midnight on the lambs. Makes sense you all have reincorporated your pumpkin color into the special uniforms.
BTW because I love watching this, here is what will happen at SAF at Mile High on September 2nd. (hopefully in prime-time on ESPN)
