Nuggets - range from sucky to forgettable
Rockies - same
Avalanche - had a good run 20-25 yrs ago
Rapids - bad & forgettable
Colorado - awful
CSU - awful
Broncos - the one bright spot
I would think a state with a good size population, large metro, multiple D1 colleges, and is generally a desirable place to live would be able to accomplish more than they have (from a sports standpoint at least).
Arizona might be worse - I’ll have to think about that one.
