If we throw him $5, he'll become one of the major stadium donors

Is that on 42 North of Burger King?
no. it on the side of a highway covered by weeds that displays a crooked sign that is supposed to show support for the Buffs.
may as well as have some homeless dude holding a cardboard sign standing there. despite what gateway might say.
i am sorry. that just looks like crap.

No its not. I drive by the one on 36 every day, it is behind a green on the coal creek golf course and at least 50 feet off of the highway. This one looks like it is right on the road.
It's just a crappy picture - relax fools
In other news, CSU students have only purchased about 3k out of their 10k ticket allotment

fine. i relent. its a wonderful sign that shows great support and respect for the University of Colorado Football team and one that would garner the admiration of any fan of any college football program in the nation. it is truely that nice! especially how the grounds around it are so well taken care of.
i am proud that have that sign as a Buff fan!

Each program has to buy its allotment at a set cost regardless of whether it sells them. Each then receive a certain amount from the game. I believe that media split depends on who is the "home" team in a given year. My understanding is that ticket sales have been so bad that CSU is losing significant money at least in relation to what they'd get in a check as the away team at Folsom... and it may be that it's a net financial loss for them.

all you can do is laugh.
gargantuan?
so much so that they cant sell tickets? that its come down to offering faculty and staff discounted seats.
well, i am sure that gasm will tell us that when #2 CU played #3 kneebraska in '89 that CU did the same thing to get that game sold out.

I may be wrong. I took the same photo this evening and it looks very different in a picture than through a windshield.
It's an attempt at a hail mary.
Now that they know that the MWC won't become a BCS conference, which would have elevated CSU despite themselves...
Now that they know that the major conferences aren't interested in them, which would have elevated CSU despite themselves...
They have realized at their highest levels that they need to make one last, desperate attempt to position themselves to get pennies from heaven. They're paying for coaches they can't afford. They're trying to push through facilities they can't afford. If this hail mary works, they could become relevant. If it doesn't, they'll remain irrelevant and be in financial turmoil. The odds of it working are actually less than we'd put on a hail mary pass, though. But it's really either this or dropping to FCS for football and focusing on other sports.
I guess that means it's going to be even harder for them to get up for it next year after we run their butts over this year.
Any predictions on their average home attendance this year. Lose their super bowl big to the Buffs, lose to an FCS team in NDSU. Then have the Pres announce that they can't justify mortgaging the schools future for a new stadium.
If they can't sell tickets to the most important game on their schedule to the only AQ conference team they play how are they going to sell tickets to a bunch of MWC games against teams that are never on TV?
The may lie about it to save the embarrassment but I wouldn't be surprised if they drop below 20k average this year, even with promotions and cheap ticket offers.
Include that with their almost 5k in season ticket sales, and they are rolling in cash! So CSU has maybe (huge maybe) 10k total tickets sold to the RMS in Denver, and their conference network folded so CU had to swoop in and save the day with our conference television affiliations and get the game on FX and Colorado has sold its 36k allotment. Colorado has won 7 of the last 10. Yep, just as many lamnation posters have claimed, with Cap'n Jack-off and coach sparkles, CSU has passed us by big time.
We shouldn't be on the same field as these guys. Please oh please Embree lay the smackdown and put another nail in the coffin of this game.

I don't comment on these boards often if this is true it is going to be very embarrassing to lose to the Rams if they only have 12K showing up. If we lose this game we will be lucking to win 2 games all year
