Colorado is in some ways a lot like Minnesota.

Major research university and state flagship located in the state's largest media market. Similar sized states and largest markets, which both have all of the four major pro sports.

CU football glory years were more in the late 80's to mid 90's I believe. Lot of Big 8 and then early Big 12 years. But since then, like the Gophers since the 60's, not a lot of major success.


Their campus is not right in the core urban area, though. Their location relative to downtown Denver, would be like if the U (of MN) was located in St Michael relatively to downtown Minneapolis.

And i feel if you're correct, Colorado fans will be sad to see him go but absolutely thrilled he was their coach.

He's gotten them from rock bottom to ranked in one offseason. Sold out stadium Saturday. NFL talent on the roster. Every college football talkibg head talks about Colorado.

NObody in Colorado will be sorry they hired Deion if he leaves in a few years. Nobody.

This is an absolute donkey of a take reserved for those who spouted all winter he'd fail and now need to find something else to cling to rather than admit they were wrong.

Yup, you were wrong. Deion is brining Colorado is back to the stone age. That's right next to rock bottom.

Boulder looks and feels like a college town. Besides close proximity to downtown Denver, it has beautiful mountains five minutes from the football stadium.
