Any Colorado State fans here?

trev · Post by **trev** » Sat Aug 28, 2010 7:06 pm

My son's high school teammate has gone there this year and we are way excited for him.

I know nothing about college football but it looks like I'll become addicted to watching on Saturdays.

Help me out, explain divisions and categories and stuff like that to me.

Solid.

Sin,
1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005... or in other words, MOST of the BCS Championship games haven't involved an SEC team.

trev -- CSU represents fairly well in the Mountain West... except that they're the Mormons' Bitch. But they usually do more winning than losing.

not a Ram fan, per se, but i do live in Colorado.

CSU is in the post-"legendary coach" phase. longtime coach Sonny Lubick took some very good 10, 11 win CSU teams into the top 25 in the late 90's and early 00's. Lubick was the face of the program for a longtime and led them to their most sustained period of winning. were it not for his age (pretty old guy), Lubick could have been a candidate for some very high profile jobs around 99 or 00. the current coach, Steve Fairchild, was a Lubick assistant who did some NFL time (I believe) before returning home to coach the Rams 3 years ago.

CSU also has a slew of "rivals": CU, in-state Air Force, Wyoming (schools are about 50 miles from one another) and the Mormons.

the CSU board that gets the most activity to my knowledge is ramnation.com.

Does anybody take rivalries within the SEC seriously anymore? It's just hard for me to buy all this supposed hate Auburn has for Bama, for example, when they're content to inhale their cocks all but one day of the year. Even then, there's probably a % of Aubie fans pulling for Bama since they'll have a good shot of repping the SEC in the MNC game.

This info helps a lot, Jsc and all. Thanks!

2 touchdown dogs? I'm not sure I can bare to see him lose.
I am used to seeing him win, win, win. But he'll be a freshman starter
which I guess isn't all that common?

I can't wait until next Saturday!

Quarterback.

has he been named the starter and initials PT?

Yes. No stalking, please.

nah, hardly. i just remember that he was a really good "get" for CSU when recruiting wrapped up....and saw he was named the starter.

trev · Post by **trev** » Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:33 am

PT is ahead of my son by a year. My son got on varsity as a sophmore (O/L) and got to play with PT for 2 years. Lots of fun and excitement.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:45 am

Sweet! I know of a poster on T1B, who has a son, who played with the freshman qb at CSU. Time to go buy some Rams gear.

Anyone including Jsc can sit next to me on the CSU bandwagon.

TCU is going to start the season 0-1.... hate to be the one to break it to you.

A certain midget who didn't get a scholly from TCU has a rather large chip on his rather small shoulder.

My new CFB buddy is a recent transplant from the Miami area.

Diehard Gator honk, and card-carrying SECBSH (we'll have a hoot here in PAC Country).

And he seems to have a serious problem with all things Tennessee and Georgia football.

He's pretty stoked about the West Coast early start times.

Dins...please tell us unlike INdy's frisco's new employee that he is not allergic to planes...

oh and Trev great news man...CFB is an awesome spectacle...the board in here is probably the tops...save for a few idiots (m2OOOL, SOCALTROJN, and a few others)...but these guys are solid and I have met a couplafew...make yourself at home...

the one thing you will notice for sure is most SEC teams are allergic to planes...

trev · Post by **trev** » Sun Aug 29, 2010 10:47 pm

buckeye, I know this board is solid. I've been around here long enough...and I have a special little place in my heart for the buckyes...was raised in wonderful Ohio. I feel totally comfortable passing on the info about PT here. Dang, I'm so excited for next weekend. I fought Saturday football until a couple years ago and dipped my toe in last year a little when I could. I knew PT was going to be somewhere 2 years ago. I was involved in the high school booster club, as was his mom. I met the scouts that came to our games. It's not everyday that happens. My son's coach has even mentioned with my sons' grades, he might even want to consider playing somewhere. I am not sure he wants to go that route, but we will see.

By the way, I have no idea what allergic to planes is about.

I guess I will find out as time goes by.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Mon Aug 30, 2010 2:26 am

Trev, as you know, in all these years, I've cast nothing but scorn and ridicule in your direction...

Don't look for that to change anytime soon.

But in all sincerity, welcome aboard.

I'll give you a warning, which you won't heed -- turn back now, forget about PT, don't open this forum again, and walk away.

Since you won't... welcome to our addiction.

So much more fun than the pro game... so much more to follow, so many more styles of play (x50), money hasn't ruined it (yet), lack of primadonnas.

Just remember the most important rule in all of CFB...

Go Ducks.

I knew the early-season Riley offense would sputter a little, but I expected the defense to look a little more sharp -- they returned a lot of animal husbandry majors.

They covered, so all good. They're the Bad Guys.

trev · Post by **trev** » Sun Sep 05, 2010 5:42 am

Not a good day at all for them. Looks like lots of growing pains to come. It's unbelievable to see PT in that venue!

My son's team won last night, that is really all that matters!

I'll be honest when I say that I always....or almost always....root for Big 10 teams in OOC games (it's that SOS thing) and during the conference season by determining what team losing the game might benefit Iowa in the conference standings. I also root for the Big 10 teams in bowl games because winning bowl games has a big influence on the media and folks who rank teams and determine SOS. So, yeah, I think everyone should root for their conference teams....even if they're your most bitter rival, because, in the large scheme of things, it can benefit your own team. Beating a rated team is always better than beating an unranked one. That said, I hope Minnesota loses every fucking game from here to eternity.

As long as Wisconsin is on the schedule, we're guaranteed at least a 1-11 season. Adding your arch rival Minnesota to the schedule gives us a minimum of two wins.

If all the SEC teams win in a bowl game and it gives Auburn another 1-2 spots up in any poll - fuck yeah. You're the same way. Every fucker on this board is the same way about the conference they're in, they just (evidently) have the balls to say it - except Mace.

If Ohio State wins it all this year - yeah - you're gonna pull for them in the NCG because you'll feel like it might validate MSU somehow... Just that simple.

Have you read Jsc's posts? Dude is a microcosm of many SEC fans. There's a difference between pulling for a team to win a game and year-round, in-your-face fanatacism. You guys have your own fucking chant, fer christ sakes.

CSU managed to hold TCU to 6 points in the 1st half, but after that it was pretty much a masacre.
