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

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

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...

And CSU Discussion?

Smoke Monster

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

This is a great post!

7/27/16 2:29am

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

7/27/16 4:42am

Never change, trueteue. Never change.

Wow, really? This is all just so exciting.

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.
