I have said that before...after too many drinks.We not comin?
Good. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of Colorado having 2 games under their belt before our visit.
You can bet the Nebraska game was his motivation.If that program is the clownshow I think it will be the wheels might have already fallen off by then...don't equate an extra game with being better. It might have exposed em sooner.
There is absolutely no reason why the game still couldn't be played.Why cancel it though, I mean, unless this is a bit of an act, they just got tons of pub for it.
Yeah, seems strange to me to scrap it, just because it was announced prematurely. Did the Pac-12 really think a Week Zero game between Colorado and ASU was going to dominate the day's sports headlines, if only Deion hadn't leaked it?There is absolutely no reason why the game still couldn't be played.
Because it’s the week before the normal opening weekend of games (i.e. week one).Why is it called week 0?
Obvious to me, he wants to play someone before TCU and it’s first home game in Boulder against Nebraska..Yeah, seems strange to me to scrap it, just because it was announced prematurely.

That may be, but this is what the article says:Obvious to me, he wants to play someone before TCU and it’s first home game in Boulder against Nebraska..
What else is odd is they they haven’t scheduled any dates for any of their conference games yet.That may be, but this is what the article says:
The Pac-12 approached teams with an opportunity to play Colorado in a Week 0 game to capitalize on Sanders' debut as the Buffaloes' head coach. Arizona State jumped at the opportunity, sources told 247Sports.
If that's all true, who gives a shit about a premature leak? Looks to me as if Pac-12 football was desperate for attention, then got unnecessarily butthurt.
This is why the Pac 12 is on the brink of collapse. No wonder why USC and UCLA are leaving.That may be, but this is what the article says:
