per Randy:
Pardon the residents of the Boulder area if they got a little tired of seeing maroon and gold over the weekend. Starting Thursday, Gophers football fans made their way to this picturesque college town on the base of the Rocky Mountains, gathering for one of the team's most attractive nonconference destinations in recent memory.
Minnesotans flocked to Boulder, took in all the sights and sounds, boosted the local economy and left for home with a 30-0 victory by the Gophers in their back pocket. Playing another Power Five team in the nonconference season doesn't happen every year – the Gophers often have three nonleague home games – but there's a good chance there will be more of it in the future.
The Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC have entered into the Alliance, a way to improve scheduling among the three conferences and combat the SEC, which fired the latest big salvo in college football when it yanked away Oklahoma and Texas from the Big 12.

Gophers trip to Colorado could provide glimpse of the future
Better nonconference match-ups for the Gophers could be one result of the new agreement among the Big Ten, Pac-12 and Atlantic Coast Conference.
