Football is 100% physical, 100% mental.
Ive never understood the attraction to Boulder... it's a big college town using city law to force a small town feeling.
The result is a huge divide where money rises to the top... and emphasizes the elitism in new ways. Throw in a hostile PD, the absolute necessity to recruit out of State, no conference opponents in Texas ..... what kid is gonna leave Cali coast for that? The PAC is loaded with top rate schools in big cities like Seattle, LA, SanFran where 'elitist' is usually just the empty grumbling of feudalist loving trash living in 3rd world states. Unlike Boulder, where the city is kept artificially small in the face of massive expansion across all of Denver metro in my lifetime.
Much as it made sense to dump the little10 from an academic and cultural sense, nobody needs the PAC to poach some of those schools more than CU... they desperately need a pool of talent other than CA.
If they were smart, theyd start a rivalry with Baylor. They could call it Gnostics vs Creationists. Buffs vs Bears.
I say Baylor bc since the Ken Starr / Briles debacle... CU would have a chance to consistently win away and look good in Texas.
