I thought CU's best chance to win was against Wazzu a couple weeks ago at home. But no, the Buffies blew that one. So can they beat anyone else on their 2011 schedule? Or do they go winless in their inaugural year in the Pac-12?

[Street Novelist]

I don't know what's worse: losing to Hawaii or losing to Washington State. Are you even sure Colorado still has a football team?

[NU41SB]

I think their best chance now might be at home, against Arizona in November

[irafreak]

yeah Arizona has no coach. That's their best chance and washington state has actually had some nice wins this season.

[VectorVictor]

Yeah, I'm wondering if the Pac-12 is wanting a do-over on their invites. Utah, while competent, has underwhelmed, and Colorado is flat-out abysmal this year.

 

I hope they kept their receipt.

[irafreak]

Nah they cashed in on a title game and tv contract. No regrets...

This ain't intramurals, brotha!!!

More interesting than CU (to me, anyway) is Utah. They finally move up to a BCS conference, and are 0-3. Are they really down this year, or is it as people have been saying about Utah, Boise St, etc: put them in a real conference and they won't survive having a tougher game every week? Granted, they've played their tougher games, and play pretty much nothing but the weaker Pac 12 teams (edit: from here on out), and the Pac 12 have a lot of "depth" as far as weak teams go this year.

I think it's a little bit of both. Remember, Utah has played the Pac-12 teams pretty close, despite the losses. A squad with one more year under their belt easily finds a way to turn those close losses into wins.

I'll never understand why the Pac-10 expanded the way they did. The Big 10 and SEC made much better expansion moves...Utah and Colorado...really?

[jayhawk]

UT foiled their plan... Seems to be a trend.

Here's a quote from Alanna Rizzo, CU grad and and Colorado Rockies commentator, on her Facebook page on the Wisconsin game, "

I have YEARS of hatred for the Nebraska Cornhuskers because I attended CU for both of my degrees. Coupled with the fact that I lived in Madison, WI for 3 years and covered the Badgers, I CANNOT wait for Nebraska at Wisconsin football tomorrow night. ON WISCONSIN!!!!!"

 

I will never understand the mindset of the CU fan......the Buffs are getting beaten like a rented mule every week, but a CU fan is more interested and passionate about a Husker loss....

As for the bolded section a Husker loss may happen once or twice a year while the Buffs being beaten like a rented mule happens weekly virtually each season. So I can see why they'd be more interested in our loss as it's a rare occasion.

 

As for the Husker fans trolling on the Buffs site. Please tell me your kidding and there is not actual bandwidth dedicated to them lol.
