Rivalries

[edit]

"Nebraska never considered Colorado much of a rival until 2001, when Nebraska came to Folsom Field undefeated and left at the short end of a nationally televised 62-36 pasting. "

Seems a bit original researchish, as some would contend NE still doesn't consider CO a rival as it does Oklahoma. Cliveklg 21:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anyone is trying to say that Colorado is anywhere near the rivalry as NU-OU. But Colorado is a rivalry and a new one at that. I think the article is quite fair in dealing with this and states it quite accurately. I could cite the first part on how they became a rival, but I didn't think it needed it since it's a fact that Nebraska is a rival of Colorado -- and how is fairly known. If you want a cite on the second half I would be at a loss, but still think it's quite generally known that Nebraska didn't really consider Colorado a rival until then. See Nebraska Cornhuskers football for (more) proof that Colorado is a rival. --MECU≈talk 13:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I really disagree. As a big-time Husker fan, not only do I not consider Colorado a rival (other than the fact that we play them the week of Thanksgiving), but noone up here could really care less. This week CU vs. Nebraska was not the buzz at school, aside from the one comment from Coach Dan Hawkins. Games that got people excited were NU vs. USC (though I doubt that will ever develop into a rivalry) NU vs. Texas (there's a team we love to hate... stealing the spotlight... ugh) and NU vs. K-State (Not just because of Josh Freeman).

Heck, even NU vs. CU (Creighton University) in basketball garnered more attention then NU vs. Colorado. I'm not gonna lie, I don't like the Buffs. But that is more based on bad personal encounters with fans in Boulder than it is based on football. If you think we are your rival, go ahead and put it on your wiki page, but I'll do everything in my power to keep the Buffs off the Cornhusker rival list.

One season nor one fan does a rival make or break. --MECU≈talk 02:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Big 12 WikiProject

[edit]

I'm trying to gauge the interested in created a Big 12 WikiProject and wondering who would like to be involved. There are already pages for WikiProject Big Ten and WikiProject ACC. A Big 12 project would cover the schools themselves and anything to do with conference sports including: events, rivalries, teams, seasons, championships and lore. There is already quite a bit of activity here on Wikipedia regarding the Big 12, and I think a project could help coordinate and unify our efforts. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Big 12 if you are interested, and add your name to the list. Grey Wanderer (talk) 00:26, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pac 10 Movement

[edit]

The source that CastAStone posted says the following: The official statement offered no information about when Colorado would begin playing in the Pac-10. The Daily Camera reported earlier Thursday that it would take effect for the 2012 season.

Which means that neither CU nor the Pac 10 have announced when the change will take place, but The Daily Camera, a newspaper in Boulder, has a "source" who says 2012. Since 2012 (or any other date for that matter) has not been officially announced, it cannot be added to this article.

Good faith all around, to be sure. -- MeHolla! 17:29, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FALSE. The ONLY thing reported so far is that the Big 12 schedule for 2010 was set years ago, isn't changing, and is legally contracted in. No article anywhere has indicated they are leaving this fall, but there are hundreds of articles saying they're leaving in 2012. YOU can't put the Pac-10 in there for their CURRENT conference, YOU have no Reliable sources for it because it isn't correct!--CastAStone//(talk) 17:33, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The official statement welcomes CU into the Pac 10. Since no indication it is anything but immediate is given, that is how it should be treated. You may be right, but the official source does not currently back you up. -- MeHolla! 17:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Denver Post [1]
  • Seattle Times [2]
  • Seattle PI [3]

If you want more, like I said, just google news them. This is crazy.--CastAStone//(talk) 17:41, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can't get any more official than from the Pac 10 itself. Just because some unnamed source says 2012 does not make it so. Wikipedia's source rules are very clear on this, and any admin you drag in here worth his/her salt would agree. 5,000 random blogs does not beat the horse's mouth. This is my last edit/revert on the entire subject, because stupid edit wars are what ruins the Wikipedia process, so go ahead and do what you will, just know that you are not following Wikipedia standards in the process. -- MeHolla! 17:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please. I'm not the one breaking the rules here by using first party sources, and the two major Seattle newspapers and the Denver Post are hardly "random blogs". I'm with you on the edit war thing so Imma let you go ahead and keep incorrect information on there in violation of policy and let someone else come along and fix it. --CastAStone//(talk) 17:53, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Big 12

[edit]

There are ZERO sources indicating that Colorado will play in the Pac-10 this fall. There are HUNDREDS indicating they will play the Big 12 schedule that they are legally bound and contracted to play. Why on earth am I getting reverted?--CastAStone//(talk) 17:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because there are ZERO official sources that say either way. -- MeHolla! 17:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
