Rivalry Question

OUBuff said:
I was SO much more invested in the nubs game than any game CU has played since leaving the B12. And yes, the B8 was way better than the B12. The P12 is mamby pamby... sure there are good teams but they are P10... who cares really? That is the waterpolo and volleyball conference that plays real sports until 1am. ugh.

2016 Oregon? UCLA? Utah? Washington State?

I was way more interested in all those games

The whole point why Mac picked the Nubs was because they were the best and he shot for the best. With that logic we should pick USC...there was nothing natural or organic about our rivalry w kNU so let’s not think anything will happen organically now. I don’t think MMac is the kind to just pick a rival like M1.

Disagree. A bordering state with a huge load of alumni and fans around the Denver area made it much more natural and easy to develop than one with, say, USC.
 
Speaking of rivals, does anyone know a Utah message board that actually gets a good amount of traffic? I’m ready to do my part to get this “rivalry” flowing.

I think we can and should have 3 Rivals

1) Utah is our respected Rival and we gotta beat them every year, and have a friendly spirited game.
2) USC is the Blue Blood rival that we want and should strive to beat every year because they are the pinnacle of the division historically
3) Arizona is our Hated, F-U Rival that has spilled over from Basketball and from what Tate did to us last year. We want to beat them every year and wish nothing but bad luck and angst on them and their a-hole cheating basketball coach.

This covers our division and likely is the road to a championship anyway
Get excited about every game!!!

If Utah develops into a rivalry, great. I don't want to go calling out rivalries with like USC because the godfather did it with the Nubs and it worked there. Part of the reason why that worked is because of the border. They need us like we need them. They don't have a rival because they're a doormat in the Big 10 ATM. We don't have one because we haven't had enough big games with Utah or anybody else. We need to playing the Nubs as much as we feasibly can-there was an energy around that game that was unmatched in the Pac 12 era of this program (other than maybe the last three games of 2016 prior to the bowl game) and that energy can't be matched with games against little brother, any conference opponent, or anybody else we can put on the schedule ATM unless there's something on the line. People were jacked to go play them, and this entire fanbase is on cloud 9 this week because we ruined Frost's debut and Osborne's induction into their hall of fame by beating them.

I'll also add this: if CU actually becomes a tough game for the Trojans year in and year out, I wouldn't be surprised if they started thinking about a. going back on the "all the California schools play every year" Pac12 scheduling footnote (thus getting rid of Stanford 1 out of every 3 years), or b. paring back (not eliminating) their annual date with ND.

An annual schedule against 'furd, UW or UO, ND, a resurgent CU, and a true rivalry game against UCLA would leave pretty much any school looking for outs. A schedule like that every few years, fine. But for that to be the base every single year would be tough. (Incidentally, annual schedules like this are the real reason the B10 schools stopped playing ND every year. Once Pedo State joined the B10, Michigan quickly figured out that having Wisconsin, tOSU, PSU, MSU and ND on the schedule every single year wasn't a very good idea.)

A lot depends on CU getting our **** together and really returning to form. But USC is the target in the Pac12; I think it would be fitting for CU to emphasize the game, and don't be shy about telling people that you're emphasizing it.

A true "rivalry" may or may not ever develop, but if there's a true blue blood in your conference, of course that's where you hang your target.

The ****ers also wear red, and their fans are essentially just wealthier, better educated nubs fans.

Emphasize it, sure, but the godfather circling Nebraska as a model doesn't work here. Acknowledge they're a blue blood, acknowledge they're a factor in the division every year they're clean, and I would be okay with MM talking about the fact that we've never beaten USC. As far as the all the California schools play every year thing.........miss the CFP three or four years in a row and that'll change.

I move to create an allbuffs rule-The Utah game and series must be referred to as an arranged marriage until the word rivalry is appropriate. Yes, that's a Mormon joke.

“The Arranged Marriage” it shall be then. Pretty damn accurate in terms of how we came into the PAC with them.

Different strokes for sure. Those games were exciting, sure. I watch every game I can and when CU plays well against a good team, it's fun to watch.

I'm just not as personally invested in the p12. Other than USC, perhaps, I don't really care. Hard to connect when so many of their games are so late. And while teams like Washington, USC, Stanford and Oregon have been players on the national stage, even they feel kind of irrelevant.

Remember the days of the B8/12? Did you give a damn about the P10... even think about them?

Don't get me wrong... when CU beats USC this year, it will he one of the great moments in CU football history.
 
Amazing to see I'm the 100th post on this thread...very busy week and I'll read all of this tonight or tomorrow..

I think one annual OOC game against an old Big-12/8 foe is perfect. The issue is that those trips start to wear on people after a couple seasons of 4/5 road trips a year to those locations. With the Pac-12, we get way more alumni that live in those areas to go to the game and there is a **** load more to do outside of the actual football game so way more people travel there. The Pac-12 locations are a ton easier/cheaper to get to as well.
 
I think it would be good to get kNU, OU, and Mizzou on the sked on a more regular basis... maybe OSU. Don't need to go overboard, but I think it would be nice to rekindle some of the old flames.

I don't think any other foe, current or past, brings the heat that playing those cocksuckers from Lincoln does, but would still prefer seeing some other B8 teams in the cycle. No more than 1 per year.

I'd also like them to travel east every once in a while, but that has nothing to do with rivalry... that is just selfish:D

I agree. I like that we've got KSU and it looks like Mizzou coming up on future schedules in addition to the Nebraska games. That's a good thing. I'd think OSU would be easy to get scheduled considering how much they're trying to recruit CO these days.
 
I see OSU and OU as an extension of Dallas so while OU would be preferable either one would be fine.
 
If you want to play in front of a bunch of recruits then instead of scheduling games with g5 programs from Texas we should schedule neutral site games in Dallas or Houston against TCU, Baylor, ttu, Texas, OU etc.. I couldn’t believe the list of recruits who went to check out Texas tech at jerry world.

Yeah, but Stoolwater. F that.

I can deal with Norman, Lawrence & Columbia. But I never want to go to Ames, Lincoln, Manhattan, or Stillwater ever again, and I wouldn't wish the experience of visiting those ****holes on anyone.
