6-4, 66-23, those are all just numbers. Completely irrelevant.
That group of posters is so delusional...
To be fair, many on this site have referenced the rivalry effect as reason the game is a toss up each year.
Is acknowledge the rivalry aspect. I know the current students certainly do. I just don't think the game is ever 50/50. CU should win this game 70% of the time.
Especially this year. We seriously need to stomp these guys.
Many CU fans who don't believe it's a rivalry are also delusional, but for other reasons.
Is it the same as the Nebraska/CU "rivalry"? We seem to call it a rivalry but do they?
They didn't back then. But a lot of them sure seem to miss the "rivalry" now.
Not sure of the exact numbers but the series record may may be more lopsided in favor of Nebraska than what CU vs CSU is
Perhaps percentage wise. We played way fewer games though. CU was pretty bad in the big 8 prior to McCartney
Yes, yes, and yes.
CSU WILL run the ball alot. Their whole offense is based on the power run and they will likely be good at it. That being said I think our DL is better.
It's not your concept. CSU runs the ball. That idea is not ground breaking.
But I think it will work well enough to keep the game close.

I'm ready, coach. I know the game isn't for another 9 days, but find me a helmet and put me in!

If I were a D coach, I'd be using the tape to string every missed tackle and then putting up a running total of yards after contact. I bet fifty percent of CSU's yardage Is after initial contact.
Does anyone know what software CU uses for film?(hudl?)
If CU's dline is what we think it is and Gillam is truly healthy, then I think we negate (mostly) their biggest and probably only strength. At that point, there should be no reason CU wins this game by a few scores. If not, then I think we see what we saw last year, with a very back and forth game.
The weird thing in all of this, for me at least, is CSU's defense. They obviously took a huge hit with graduation. Reports are that they are very, very bad. However, I am not sure what to believe at this point. CU loses this game by having multiple special teams mistakes, turnovers, and overall bad tackling.
If there was a year to blow them out, this is it.

That may be the saddest truth of the current state of CU football.
So if this comes to pass then it will be clear that if you were Bobo you would have listened to you. Brilliant!
