. . . I used to post here quite a bit back in the day. Back when, I dunno, CU Football kinda mattered and it was fun to interact with other CFB fans . Even made some friends and clients here. But the conference blew up, NU chose wisely, CU did not, CU began sucking . . . ugh. I found other places to hang beyond CFB message boards. As a CU season ticket holder, I still went to the games, but it was more out of sense of loyalty than anything else. It was grim. Very, very grim. Now we have a little daylight. To be honest, NIL, the Portal and realignment has kinda dulled my once rabid enthusiasm for CFB, but damn if it still isn't the best show on earth when the games actually count.
All this to say I am looking forward to Saturday. Unlike some CU followers (including a legion of Prime-following newbies who couldn't find Colorado or Nebraska on a map 10 months ago - all are welcome I guess), I expect a complete and utter dogfight. And if NU needed any extra motivation, watching the Deion Sanders hype machine turned to 15 over the last few days has got to help. If I was you guys, I'd be pretty sick of it. I've watched every CU/NU game at Folsom (and one in Lincoln) since 1984. The only thing those games had in common since then was their sheer unpredictability.
At 62, I'm far beyond puerile name calling and internet trolling of opposing boards. So, no predictions but I will say this: it will be very cool to see Colorado/Nebraska at center stage for a change. Perhaps not for the reasons Nebraska fans want. I get it. But it will be fun. I'm hoping for the best, but Rhule can coach and I'm sure his guys will be ready. And if there is a game on the schedule that NU would love to get, it's this one - for a ton of reasons beyond the usual.
I'd be happy to answer questions about what's happening over here. It's completely nuts.
