Which Big 12 member is the team you most want to beat once we join?

[Jello Bear]

Stop acting like ****wads.

 

[NWD Buff]

BYU


I can't even vote for them here, because I refuse to let them share my hatred with those other schools.

 

[Swish]

Bailer

and second would be the Gundybobs.

The arrogance dripping from this board is just something to behold.

You're leaving a conference full of tepid fanbases and half empty stadiums and joining one where people actually give a **** about college sports. Yeah, the Bay Area blows Ames, Iowa out of the water for cultural amenities. But this is about college sports, and on that front, Ames, Iowa blows the Bay Area out of the water. Apply this sentiment to places like Manhattan, Stillwater, Lubbock, Morgantown, etc.

If you want to take a vacation to an exotic location, do so. If you want a good-to-great college sports experience? Have an open mind and embrace the future. Your administration was tired of watching your athletics department flounder due to the misguided notion that there was some correlation between whom you play in sports and what your institution's academic prowess was. Your alumni are in Cali? Ok, they were back in the Big 8/12 days too, and that didn't seem to be an issue.

The reason the Big 12 has pulled ahead of the Pac 12 is because the people involved care. College sports are important in the plains Midwest and the South. It's not important on the west coast. CU administration has clearly decided that they want CU athletics to be in a place where they can maximize revenue and competitive programs, and that's being in a league where the other schools and fanbases are dedicated to college athletics.

You can sit there and blather about state level politics, but remember, most of us alums of these red states schools don't vote red. We hate our asshole Republican governors too. It's just that 55% of our fellow state residents vote for them. Isn't Lauren Boebert a CO representative? Point being, politics is a bad excuse to be a jerk off about college sports.

In 2011, CU made a decision that any of the current Big 12 schools would have made offered. We have no ill will. You weren't a blue blood or power broker that could effect change in the Big 12 the way Nebraska, OU, and Texas were. You did what you had to do. 12 years later, you're doing the same.

Welcome home. Stop acting like ****wads. I hope the Big 12 starts playing some Week 0 games, because man I'd love to get to a game at Folsom.

 

[boulder77]

[Bison]

All the old Big 8 schools and BYU.

and the rest of the 4C schools if they join.

Thanks for explaining things to us, Q!

 

[PAHIBuff]

The gauge of how far the CU football program has progressed over the next few years will be getting to a point of consistently beating T Tech and Okie State. So I picked Okie State in the poll.

The breakfast pizzas at Kum & Go (we have those in CO) has been decent but please tell them to add more Italian sausage like Casey's.

And trust me, week zero at Folsom Field is a non-starter with near 100 degree heat at that time of the year especially if it is a day game.

How often is it 100 degrees at Folsom in late August? The average temp is in the 80s.

 

[SPCoug]

It's interesting to see how many posters selected BYU, even though the two schools have only played twice since World War II: 1981, 1988. I don't know a single BYU fan who has the slightest animus toward CU. In any event, BYU will roll out the welcome mat when CU comes to Provo and treat Buff fans with great respect, just like we do all visiting schools. Congrats and looking forward to playing the Buffs and traveling to Boulder (been to CU's campus and enjoyed it, years ago, as part of evaluating grad schools).

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Only a Big 12 resident would suggest Bay Area, LA, and Seattle as “exotic locations”

 

[Al_4_State]

It's like you don't even know us.

You've been gone for 12 years. So much has changed. We got these other guys who live in the mountains, and not only do they love moonshine, but they might like weed as much as you guys.

Seriously, when I went to the ISU/WVU game in Morgantown in 2013, I was stunned by how many people were openly smoking weed while tailgating. In a state that's not even close to legal.

I know the feeling...I was in that same heat about a year ago for a week and camping outside while helping a friend rebuild the foundation of their home in SW Iowa.

100 degrees with the sun out in Colorado is not pleasant too.

Such pig**** (Ames reference). It doesn’t matter if “fans care more”. What matters is money. CU is moving back in with the pig**** because of money.

For me, it's the historical bigotry. And the misogyny. But I'm sure everyone has their own delightful reason for hating BYU.

80 degrees in Colorado is downright delightful.
