Too bad. My father-in-law is a Buffs fan too (well, as much as anyone is really a Buffs fan), but he's more interested in watching sports and having a good time than team allegiances. If you've got friends or family that don't care as much, they might let you record the game on their equipment and watch it later.
Mine doesn't even watch Colorado much but won't watch the Huskers. When we would have gameday parties he would come to be nice and then sit in the other room with the women while we watched the game.
