Colorado AD wants to play Nebraska every year

[Trevor22]

At Big 12 Media Days, Colorado Athletic Director Rick George expressed a strong desire to renew the Nebraska-Colorado football rivalry as an annual fixture. He emphasized the historical significance of the matchup, originally fueled by coaches Bill McCartney and Tom Osborne, and believes it’s beneficial for college football. While Nebraska has no pressing need for the game in the current playoff landscape, George sees it as a way to elevate Colorado’s profile. The rivalry, once a Black Friday tradition, could return in early September.

The stadium atmosphere was great for the CU game last year. I wouldn't mind seeing them play occasionally but the article is spot on- there just isn't any reason for Nebraska to schedule them.

I'd like to see us schedule some other old Big 8 members way before I want to see CU again. A home & home with K St, Kansas or Iowa State were easy away games to travel to for the fans. I don't want to lock in to any of them permanently though.

Now hear me out, but I have an even better idea for CU:

how about they just go f*&k themselves instead.

Yes please. Schedule CU every year. I live in Denver and can get to a game every other year that way. also, they should schedule one at Mile hi

I’m with ya, I’m with ya.

But we really don’t need to do sCUm any favors like this.
I’d be happy with about 2 games every 6 or 8 years. Not very realistic tho with the conferences, schedules and playoffs the way they currently are.

I wouldn't mind seeing it but it would have to be our only P4 OOC game. And we already have a few scheduled years ahead. I don't see this ever happening and frankly CU has a lot more to gain than NU. But it would be fun since the hyper energy level of playing CU is hard to match.
