That helps. Now prove you can win on the road. No conference road wins isn't something the committee will ignore, and just one against in-state Air Force won't really do it.
And if you want to be taken seriously as a basketball program, stop rushing the court so often. Raise the standards. 3 times in one season is way too much, especially when one of those was unranked and you were favored (though flattering it may be). CU beat 4 ranked opponents last year, rushed once, and that opponent was ranked #5. Not a soul even hinted at potentially rushing against #8 Missouri, and especially not against you guys.
Tad Boyle has become the hot topic out of the state in the college basketball world not only because of his change in the win column, but also in the culture of the program and the fanbase. Miles is a fantastic coach, and clearly expects to win, but so far the fans haven't caught up to that. Want Miles to be the well known name? Want to be seen as the premier program in the state? Show that your fanbase expects to win, raise the standards, and especially don't rush every single time you beat CU, or you're perpetuating that you don't expect to win and that CU must be the bigger better program because beating them is worthy of a court rush every time while the other way around never is.
Good win though. I wish the Pac 12 didnt blow so much so we could have the opportunity to beat a ranked team.
San Diego State was worthy of the rush. Standard should have been set there.

Buff fan telling Ram fan to not rush the field/court is comical. Seemed like every time UCB won a game under Hawk, students were on the field. Fortunately for the field, there weren't that many wins! LMAO!

Them rushing the court was almost as funny as when they rushed Folsom after beating a 3-9 Dan Hawkins coached team.

Nah it's pretty bad rushing the field when you beat a 3-9 team but I should expect that when the CU game is the Lambs super bowl.

It was the fist game of the year and it was in Boulder moron. CSU hadnt won there since 1986. Thanks for the lessons on rushing the court/field buff fans.

I'll be sure to storm the field when CU beats CSU in Fort Collins next time then I'll make a Apple store visit all in 10 minutes.
they were 3-9 when we played them? wow. you are a lot more credible when you are not posting.

Does it matter? The Lambs beat a bad CU team. Congrats. Maybe one day the Lambs can compete with CU in football or basketball and don't bring up the basketball game, we missed 22 FTs and lost by 1 at Moby, we beat ourselves.
compete? you just listed 2 games where we beat you...and now you beat yourselves? Again, you are more credible when not talking/typing/communicating. Beat it.
I never questioned the series record, simply said we do plenty of "competing", lil stiff. Is it finally time to go back to the drawing board to work on that credibility?

So how exactly does CSU compete with CU? For how much time and effort you guys put into hating CU you'd think that CSU would be more competitive with CU.
Dude CSU has won 2 out of the last 3 in basketball. and won the last game for football when it was on campus.
Not competing would be getting obliterated in both sports for 10 years in a row

Cool story. Those football wins happened to come at the worst era for CU football and our basketball was horrible before Boyle. Must suck to be a Lamb and always having big brother get all the recognition.
You ever hear the story about the recruit who took an official to CSU and thought he was going to CU? Yeah that's how recognizable CSU is.
Recognition? I think CSU has been involved in every bubble talk in recent weeks for the big dance, must have missed CUs recognition. And you act like CSU has been playing out of their mind in that "worst era for CU football", both teams were horrible.

stiffy boner... Listen to your bro... Both teams have sucked for a while. At least both bball teams are competitive now.... This is good for college sports in the state.

Neither teams have been good lately buddy. The worst era for CU was also the worst era for CSU. at least in the last 20 years because frankly, who cares about what happened way before that

Let the fans have fun...we need to sell tickets. Let them be a part of it. Doesn't hurt anyone and it means we are winning. And honestly, I don't know if I want Tim Miles to be a well known name...he is a young rising guy that would be taken in a second.
