Hey Irish. This is my point when i say that both programs have idiot fans. This was posted on Ramnation today.

he certainly was delusional enough, excelled at oppressing the weak &

work for such a rotten to the core organization like UCB's f-ball program.

just a little afternoon reality therapy for my Fluffy Boyz.

(all seriousness aside -- hang in there my CSU brethren -- your program
will prevail!!)

I've been in much more hostile environments than Folsom Field. Drunk College kids yelling and throwing things after the game no big deal. Throwing crap ON the field 3 years ago when it was at Folsom was another statement to how classy your fans are.

I haven't heard one good reason to why it shouldn't be kept at Invesco permanently.

Having it at Folsom keeps another 30,000 fans from seeing the game. When Invesco has been sold out it's a much better atmosphere as well. Now that it's a night game this years ads to the excitement.

Also, Liquor stores will be open all over Colorado.......

It's kind of stupid to label a whole fanbase over the actions of some idiots. I've seen some CSU students call some CU fans ethnic slurs. Does that mean all CSU fans are racist? There are idiots on both sides. Don't label a fanbase by the actions of a bunch of drunken retards. jmho.

Here's a couple reasons why CFB should be played on college campuses.

It's unfair to the local businesses of both Ft Collins and Boulder to take away potential revenue generated on a game day. These local businesses are some of the main doners to college football programs. We shouldn't take business away from these guys who support our programs. I think the small business is the most important boosters for college athletics. They seem to care more about their home teams than the huge corporations.

Second reason is how they seat season ticket holders at Invesco. I'm a season ticket holder and i sit on the 50 at folsom. Sec. 218. great seats imo. But when we recieve our tix for the CSU game, we are sitting on the 29yd line in the last two rows on top of the stadium. That's crappy. CSU fans don't have the same issue? I think its BS.

I also think the atmosphere before the game isn't that great. The atmosphere at Boulder is great. I've never been to FT. Collins for a game but i bet its an awesome atmosphere. People have their usual tailgating spots reasonably clost to the game. You know the people sitting next to you. But in Denver your in Lot Q about a mile away. The band is practicing underneath the highway before the game.The whole thing is lacking what makes CFB so great imo. I know this is a NFL board, but i'd take the atmosphere at a college game over a Bronco game any day. jmho.


I know your saying more fans equals a better atmosphere. It was cool for the first couple of years it happened in mile high. Both teams were decent, the games were sold out. But that's no longer the case. CU is in the middle of trying to rebuild their program, and CSU is just begining. Not really a huge selling point when trying to get the game before a national audience. I think the games have been regional lately. My point is the excitement is gone. You may not agree but CU is expected to beat CSU every year. When we don't win then everyone says CU is in for a crappy year. "How can you lose to CSU?" This is the national opinon of this series. There isn't the talk of "Boy CSU is for real" its always how can CU lose to those guys. I hope that made sense. I'm not trying to flame. That's just how i've seen people talking about our series.

Sure it's a rivalry. but it's an in-state rivalry. If we played AF it would also be a rivalry. CU is talking about dropping the rams from the schedule. Don't you think if it was the huge rivalry people would be livid? On both sides? Our AD has adressed this issue and it never generated any kind of headlines in any of the papers. That doesn't sound like a huge rivalry to me.

The night game doesn't really ad to anything. We were lucky to get a national audience. That's just because of the DNC in denver. I still bet the top level is pretty empty just like it has been year after year. It's sad. I'm not trying to say it isn't a rivalry. It just isn't that big of one.

Okay, i'm done with my rant. I hope my thoughts are clear here. I have trouble expressing myself over these boards. I don't want to come off as arrogant. This is how i see things.

In the past 20 years, CSU has won the RMS 4 times. Ill take my chances with the Buffaloes over the goats.

[DrunkPanda]

So you guys storm the field after you beat Baylor? Or Iowa State? Yeah i didn't think so. Lame excuse and you know it. Even though you don't want to admit it, just face it, every Colorado football fan looks forward to this game every year.

err. ya. we stormed the field against iowa state when they played at folsom field 2 years ago. congratulations, beating CSU means as much to the buffaloes as beating iowa state does.

in all honesty, the "rivalry" stems almost completely from the fact that csu fans talk so much ****. we just like to shut them up. if csu stopped talking then we wouldn't care about them anymore. and yes we look forward to this game, because it signals the start of college football season. i was really looking forward to playing montana state 2 years ago

CU fans like to win every game. We are happy when we beat you because we know your season is over and you will shut the hell up for a year.

Because of fans like you guys... its gonna be so much sweeter when CSU beats CU this year. There is no doubt in my mind that our O will run the ball all over your D. And when that does happen, you guys, like every other CU fan, will make up some lame ass excuse of why you guys lost.

It's a give and take. I've been to the games when they had it in Folsom two years in a row. It was a great atmosphere for a college game. Home field advantage is a great thing when your fans outnumber the CSU fans 10:1

I don't want to see the game in Fort Collins either. Hughes Stadium is just to small and it would not be as fun.

From my point of view: Walking out of Folsom two years in a row after losing both games as a CSU fan is pretty exciting when you are completely surrounded by CU fans screaming and yelling and throwing stuff at you.

It's nice at Invesco to at least walk out of the stadium with a few more of your own green and gold friends.


I'm not sure who's enjoys winning the game more.....CU has stormed the field every year they've beaten us in Folsom. They always come up to CSU's little corner of the stadium and throw plenty of F-bombs and nice gestures every time.

If CU see's it as not big deal to beat up on CSU they sure don't act like it.

Nothing like a good in state rivalry.....

Cheers! Invesco this year anyway.

Good grief. Are you done whining yet. They yell at us. They throw F bombs at us. B*tch, b*tch, b*tch. It's true, we have some idiots who do stupid crap. But so does every other school in the nation. I'm not sure how many games you've been to. I went to a KSU game and heard everything in the book. But thats how it goes. Your in their stadium. Get over it.

It's sad that CSU has a HS stadium. It'd be nice to actually see CU stomp you guys in Ft. Fun.

I agree with everything you said. For not caring so much, CU makes such a big deal everytime they beat us.

Irish, what about the FANS that pay for the athletes to be there. What do they prefer. I would take Folsom over Invesco any day of the week.

However I wouldnt want to pay to see the game up at Ft. Fun.

If you're going to have the game at one college venue, the other side will have their say. And the other side will be right, it's all about revenue and you just can't get that kind of revenue up at Ft. Fun.

I would still like to play CSU cause its an easy win and I get to make fun of my friends that go to CSU.

CSU has been terrible the last 4 years and every one of those years it's been a great game. Two of those games where played in Folsum! We won the year before last, and the last time we played it went into OT.......easy win?

The game needs to stay at Invesco. It makes me upset that the game hasn't sold out there the past two years but it will again in the near future.

Both schools make more money when it's at Invesco and more fans get to go to the game from both schools.

Also, ask the PLAYERS, they are the ones who put in the countless hours of hard work behind the scenes to give us something to cheer for on Saturdays. Fact is, the vast majority of the players love to play in the Mile High city. To play in a pro teams stadium is a chance that only a handful will go on and do after college.

Keep the RMS at Invesco Field at Mile High.

I would still like to play CSU cause its an easy win and I get to make fun of my friends that go to CSU. I would like to see us play my close #2 team, Tennessee. That would be the best game ever. Maybe it will happen in the national championship
