[Husker] Colorado Series

[Dave Ratchford]

Yes, i know why they play these games (for the money). And of course these games are not going away. The dept knows we will lap up the tickets regardless of the crummy product on the field.  But a 9th conference game means one less opportunity to schedule this junk.

Agree with you that CO is no prize matchup, but at least they are in a major conference.

Those will be four years of painfully uninspiring non-conference schedules, mostly because unless there are major changes made to the Colorado athletic department, I do not see how they can escape the cellar of the Pac-12.
