“Screw Texas.” Easy now, there’s one guy in here from the Lone Star State that bleeds black and gold!! Would love to see the Buffs in ANY bowl game! Won’t be picky, but I will be there!!

“Beware the Ides of November collapes”. Lets all keep in mind how the Buffs got on their 10 game losing streak, right after the 42-12 asskicking of Mizzou in ’05. Can you believe in Voodoo Mojo? So maybe the Buffs lose on Sat, Then go on a 10 game WIN Streak? Not likely, I am with you, I will take a win in hand Saturday, versus 10 in the bush. Where is ARBY’s? I would be happy dropping the next 2, if we were guaranteed a Nebraska win.

ha! believe me- I’m right there with you. I’m in LA and drove to Tucson for the ASU abomination. I would LOVE to go to the Holiday Bowl- I just don’t see it happening. I’ll think about Insight again, but that might be it. There’s no way in hell I’m going to Shreveport.

You can take your “logical argument” and “reason” and stuff it. STUFF IT! I want the Buffs to play a “mere” 6 hour drive from me dammit!
The next closes is the Insight, and that is 11 hours away!

The only way I see the holiday Bowl as even remotely viable is:
Missouri wins out, loses to OU in the Champeenship game, BCS takes both OU and a 1 loss Kansas team.
This would drop the Cotton and Holiday down a peg, leaving Holiday to choose CU over either Texas or Mizzou. Of course, this also means we lose on Saturday and end up at 7-6.
SO I guess what I’m saying is that I don’t see the Holiday Bowl as a possibility

All I know is that if it is the Holiday, I am there without a doubt. I got my tickets to the Nebraska game yesterday, and I hope to god CU goes west. I really would love to watch this team twice in person this year. We got a LOT of alumni out west and San Diego is one hell of a city. Screw Texas!
2 out of our last three is definitely possible. Lets hope they start with this Sat!

all i have to say if hope to who ever your god is that we win 2 more games! i have been to the last 4(champs, houston, alamo and Fiesta) CU bowl games and frankly it was embarassing on the low turn out the only game we had some support was obviously the Fiesta. but i am thinkin the Insight or Texas are realistic but with a little luck hopefully the Holiday! what do you all think?

also worth noting in this conversation is that:
A) Bowls are obligated to choose ANY 7-5 team before EVERY 6-6 team.
B) The SEC also figures to have more bowl eligible teams than their bowl tie-ins allow for.

So… Anybody want to rank where CU is on that all precoius “money” or “draw power” chart?
Since most of the bowls are down south (not on the coasts).. I would put CU down below each and everyone of those teams if we play in any game besides the Holiday bowl.
