HylianHero Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Really excited by this. Now we don't have to play @Bama, Oregon State, @Hawai'i and @Utah State in consecutive weeks. Plus we get to open the stadium against a P5 opponent. Should get a decent TV spot too. Not a lot of other good games that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll definitely have a good kickoff time, but there's about a 100% chance this ends up on CBS Sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoichiKUN808 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Glad other MW schools finally starting to use the Week 0 Hawaii Exemption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWestCowboy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I like this schedule change. As an OSU alum I'm stoked that the Beav's get to open up CSU's new stadium with a win over the sheep . It just feels right and thanks to the Rammies needing a bye week to heal their Bobo's and boo boo's from a severe beating at the hands of the Crimson Tide it will become a reality.

Start off with Arizona, bye, Oregon St, and then @ Washington. Mini Pac12 schedule right there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headbutt Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just what the doctor ordered. Who knows how '17 will turn out, but this creates a perfectly timed bye week. Factor in fall practice and this puts our bye square in the middle of our season, plus it gives the players a reset going from a tough OOC to a tough conference slate, and it preserves a bye week between the last conference game and the CCG (just in case). If no CCG, and there's no reason to not be optimistic in March, then an extra week of bowl practice to get that monkey off of Bobo's back. Yes, Kahlua, I know that you're going to say that Bobo "is" a monkey. Any way you slice it, this was a very good move by the CSU AD. It doesn't add any advantage for the OOC, but it does normalize the crap schedule that the MWC handed down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather play Oregon State in the opener than having to play them after Alabama. I also like that we'll have a tune-up game under our belt while UC-Boulder will be playing their opener.

UNC, Sac State, U of Wyoming, Snow College, etc., sure. But OSU is a pretty big "tune up". Wait, you mean ACU. I'm on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just means CU isn't going to be the first game, so we should have some game experience, unlike the usual crapshoot of you never know who will be better.
