I think so too. Though Denver is a Pro-Sports town, it'd help ratings for all.

Cross conference rivalries could actually be a really fun thing... Fighting for State and Conference.

Rumors Flying at CSU Right Now

TrueTrue

7/27/16 12:04am

Tradition and history?

cougarmanguy

7/27/16 12:06am

So you weren't at those games

TrueTrue

7/27/16 12:23am

I was.... History no doubt but tradition? Not quite

BYUheaven

7/27/16 12:26am

BYU Established 1873. CSU Established 1870.

RE: BYU Established 1873. CSU Established 1870.

7/27/16 1:20am

You're making his argument. See that's 2 MORE YEARS they have on BYU.

Mike Ross

7/27/16 8:35am

Lol, you had a decent few years. Nothing more

cougarmanguy

7/27/16 12:31am

When? 2003? BYU is on a 7 game win streak. Average score? 36-18.

byubyu

7/27/16 12:33am

So CSU does have tradition!

Mike Ross

7/27/16 8:36am

A couple of seasons does not make a Tradition or History

All this from a comment by Hair and a flight tracker? You realize how many

benny1982

7/27/16 12:07am

No - Media reporting in Denver

TrueTrue

7/27/16 12:17am

I don't understand what you mean by that. Media reporting what in Denver?

benny1982

7/27/16 12:19am

Seems they are reporting Big 12 doing their due diligence on CSU

SUAVO

7/27/16 8:28am

If csu gets in it's because of denver. Period

cougarmanguy

7/27/16 12:07am

And proximity to BYU

NorthernLight

7/27/16 12:31am

Probably the bigger reason, actually

cougarmanguy

7/27/16 12:33am

+ Mountain time zone

Conan

7/27/16 1:08am

Dumping over 100M into expanding their facilities probably helped too. Big12 knows they are serious.

mikecito

7/27/16 7:49am

And lastly, I'd like to point out that tracking flights has accounted for

cougarmanguy

7/27/16 12:10am

Man, so they're just throwing their own criteria out the window at 99 mph

7/27/16 12:11am

CSU is riding high with the Tim Brando prediction today.

WJCougar

7/27/16 12:13am

I get BYU, UH and Cincy, there are no good options for #4

SausageKing

7/27/16 12:13am

CSU has done nothing?

M you called your shot. Let's see if you are right.

Adrielle

7/27/16 12:14am

He's called his shot many times the past 5 years, and he has always been wrong.

BengalCougar

7/27/16 12:16am

Exactly.

RichieRich

7/27/16 12:17am

Yes, I was way off on this prediction

TrueTrue

7/27/16 1:00am

Really stepped out onto a limb on that one.

7/27/16 5:10am

And after:

Louis Litt

7/27/16 8:45am

How isn't that true?

TrueTrue

7/27/16 9:20am

Because they didn't table it. They announced they were pursuing it, which is totally different.

Turnpike Lane

7/27/16 9:23am

Exactly.

Louis Litt

7/27/16 9:38am

Wait so let me get this straight- your prediction a few weeks ago was that the

byubyu

7/27/16 9:59am

Lol a lot of people said that, that's not proof of you knowing anything. And do you want to bring up...

7/27/16 9:26am

And CSU Discussion?

Well documented?

Smoke Monster

7/27/16 8:28am

The Plane Watching Came Courtesy of Other CSU Folks

TrueTrue

7/27/16 8:38am

That doesn't document or prove anything, those flights likely have absolutely nothing to do with the Big 12.

BengalCougar

7/27/16 9:25am

Well documented? There's no proof that the Big 12 have talked to them, some in the media have...

BengalCougar

Do you have any idea how insane you sound?

mulletYno

7/27/16 12:23am

LOL. Yep.

breakingblue

7/27/16 12:25am

The only way I could see some way of TrueTrue being accurate on this

BlueMt Coug

7/27/16 12:24am

^^^ This -- upside and momentum

TrueTrue

7/27/16 12:30am

They are very, very far behind

cougarmanguy

7/27/16 12:39am

'own the Denver market' is a big stretch

ManicBlue

7/27/16 12:56am

Bronco's own Denver and SLC(?) for Football.

TrueTrue

7/27/16 1:06am

Denver will watch if they are good. But if they stink, nobody cares

Colorado

7/27/16 6:00am

Not far behind? In what metric that the Big 12 is looking at are they not far behind?

cougfanblue

7/27/16 9:40am

I think if they go to 14...I think maybe he's right.

Cougar2000

7/27/16 7:33am

You could be right. I still think Big 12 adds 2. Holds additional spots hoping

frontrowcougar

7/27/16 12:27am

I think this is the case - UCONN is much better overall Ath Dept to Add

Dr T-bone

Thanks!

46in96

7/27/16 7:16am

Some have even said Utah State is better than CSU for expansion. Insane.

JohnnyComeLately

7/27/16 8:28am

That is absolutely...

46in96

7/27/16 8:36am

Yeah I laughed when i saw supposed BYU fans saying that. There is zero value in

JohnnyComeLately

7/27/16 9:49am

I agree

bden

7/27/16 10:17am

And to think, it all started with BYU scheduling a series with UCLA.

swingcat

7/27/16 12:40am

The talk about adding timezones could also be in play, you would want more than

TripleCrownCoug

7/27/16 12:47am

Good point for games throughout the day.

TrueTrue

7/27/16 12:52am

Not as crazy as it sounds. I mean...

cougXor

7/27/16 12:53am

Would love it if CSU was added to Big12 with BYU.

Oompabluepaw

7/27/16 12:55am

I remember the fans of CSU being much better than the fans from BSU and Memphis.

HarlemCoug

7/27/16 12:57am

Good fans for sure. Grew up in Colorado and went to many BYU

Oompabluepaw

7/27/16 1:01am

True true is no joke. He probably has more Fred than most CB insider

Josef K

7/27/16 1:00am

Good point, I don't have any Fred.

SJS

7/27/16 5:51am

Fred's a slut anyways

Zaphod

7/27/16 8:28am

Oh boy, look who's back. Mr. CSU fan that never predicts it correctly...

AntiSNOT

7/27/16 1:07am

Hey True True....UCLA still shifting us?

digitalayon

7/27/16 1:08am

Aside from Van Pelt nightmares that still haunt me, I like CSU...

TongaCougar

7/27/16 1:16am

TBH, it would be kind of cool to have two sets of B12/P12 rivalries in the

YIsForBrigham

7/27/16 1:17am

I think so too. Though Denver is a Pro-Sports town, it'd help ratings for all.

TongaCougar

7/27/16 1:23am

Whether you're making up stories or not...

MaxxPower

7/27/16 1:23am

Me too. But primarily because I'd have one away game that is close to home

Colorado

7/27/16 6:03am

TrueTrue has spoken.

TheLoneCougar

Never change, trueteue. Never change.

Bless your heart

byuTX

7/27/16 6:57am

So was Thompson's comment inclusive of any details like...

BYUFam1

7/27/16 7:16am

TrueTrue collecting his CSU/Big12 information

BGRTHNUMEGO

7/27/16 7:54am

Make it stop!

slowhiteguy

7/27/16 7:57am

I'm going to laugh when TrueTrue has been right all along

Machiavelli

7/27/16 8:33am

Except he hasn't been right all along. He claimed over 2 years

byubyu

7/27/16 8:41am

You mean when he said expansion was being tabled?

Huge Manatee

7/27/16 8:58am

Table for ONE YEAR -- 2017

TrueTrue

7/27/16 9:26am

I think you're in denial. They are expanding

Huge Manatee

7/27/16 9:33am

Boren said they voted unanimously to expand and they are turning next steps

BYUFam1

7/27/16 9:35am

Plus, if you think they ended that meeting without a plan, you are being naive.

Turnpike Lane

7/27/16 9:52am

To table means to stop discussion on the issue until the motion is taken off the

bluebloodedcoug

7/27/16 9:37am

Actually in England, to table something means to bring it up for discussion.

Marking Time

7/27/16 10:01am

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought this was America.

bluebloodedcoug

7/27/16 10:14am

I thought you might find it interesting, maybe a bit amusing. Sorry, my mistake.

Marking Time

7/27/16 10:54am

Haha, I thought it was interesting! People need to chill out...

Ktar

7/27/16 12:08pm

oh get off of it....they are expanding because of ACC network. You didn't know!

digitalayon

7/27/16 10:06am

Uh oh - now I'm confused...the guy that hasn't been right about anything is

BYUFam1

7/27/16 10:19am

Because they decided they didn't want to expand in roughly 40 days.

YardTime

7/27/16 11:10am

I have no insider info into the other schools, but CSU makes sense for the Big12 and for BYU

Cougarpride

7/27/16 8:53am

BYU, Cincinnati, Colorado State and Houston would be a good 4 additions

TCUfan77

7/27/16 9:20am

This would be great! Cross-conference rivalry week: Let CSU play CU while we play the Yewts.

mvtoro

7/27/16 10:23am

BYU & Colorado St for 2017

bden

7/27/16 10:26am

Those divisions seem a bit out of balance

Colorado

7/27/16 10:28am

I actually agree.

bden

7/27/16 10:58am

Swap the Oklahoma and Kansas schools, make Texas and OU cross division rivals

pgbyufan

7/27/16 12:43pm

without a source, I understood that Oklahoma and Texas want to be in the same division therefore

Cougarpride

7/27/16 12:58pm

Tex and OK don't insist on being same division...insist on playing each other.

Galileo5

7/27/16 2:38pm

the verbiage used was "want" not "insist" big difference

Cougarpride

7/27/16 9:46pm

Think about UT vs OU championship game. The conference would want that.

Galileo5

7/27/16 2:41pm

they may want it but BYU will ensure they don't get it...

HarlemCoug

7/27/16 5:54pm

I have no info about the truth of your assertions, but personally I would prefer

Real Men Wear Blue

7/27/16 11:14am

This would be great. BYU/CSU western rivals with Cincinnati/WVU eastern rivals.
