CU will get a three year jump on the start of the Big Ten - PAC 12 Challenge with games against Big Ten teams in 2014, 2015, and 2016. This was reported by a CU beat writer in a chat session.

KyleRingo:
CU will play at Big Ten school in 2014. You might hear about that deal pretty soon. CU is basically kicking off the series with the Big Ten three years early. Beginning in 2017, every Pac-12 school will play a Big Ten school every year. CU will have one on the schedule in 2014, 2015 and 2016. And, no, none of them are Nebraska. You might have to wait until 2017, 2018 or 2019 for that game

KyleRingo:
CU has been talking with LSU about a future home-and-home, but I'm not sure that will happen with the Big Ten agreement now in place

So, it's not Nebraska, and CU played at OSU this year. I can't remember a home and home vs. a Big Ten team since the Wisconsin series in the 90's. The game in Boulder (I was there) was terrible, but the trip seemed to be fun for the fans. Sold the town out of beer. Now there are about seven or eight breweries here, so they should be able to keep up. The third game is rumored to be a one-off road game for CU.

Anyone hearing anything in Madison?

Gobbz's biggest fan

The game in the mid-nineties in Madison was awful...Alvarez's team got crucified, 40 something to much less something...one of the few times I left early, really early, to go to a taproom.

Minnesota is Native-American for BAD AT FOOTBALL...

Sat at that game with some friends who had just moved to Madison....from Colorado. Painful. I was in the Colorado section.

I'll never forget running into a Buffs fan after the game. This was 1995, and as we know, that UW team wasn't very good. The arrogant little (he was no more than 5 ft, 6 inches) prick is going on about how the UW simply can't recruit players like Troutman (forget his first name, but he was their tailback - and he wasn't anything like most of the RBs we've seen through Madison in the last couple decades). The UW program just caught them at the wrong time. I'll take the UW most years over the CU program since Alvarez came. Now they are approaching a decade of irrelevance. Thinking of that guy made that Alamo Bowl win more enjoyable - a Shitty UW team that was picked for the Alamo based on their traveling rep, over a CU team that had National Title hopes. They just can't recruit guys like Brooks Bollinger. Their QB shat his pants all game long.

I remember that team looking big and slow in that game....

I was looking for revenge in the 1995 game in Madison because Colorado crushed us the previous year in Boulder, 55-17. Alas, they beat us again in Madison 43-7. I don't recall either game being close. That 1995 Badger team was bad...4 wins on the season, the lowest Badger win total since 1990 (1 win). If the Badgers have a 4 win season now, people are going to go nuts, saying the entire program needs to be dismantled, coach fired, etc.

In the end, I guess I don't mind that Wisconsin only won 1 out of 3 against Colorado, because that win came in a bowl game (that the Badgers were damn fortunate to win).

I don't know the answer, I'm just asking that's all.

My enduring memory of watching the '94 game on TV was Bevell chewing out JC Dawkins as they were heading to the sideline. Bevell had just thrown an interception and Dawkins was his intended receiver. TV showed an instant replay from the endzone angle and there were 3 Buffs under Dawkins (LB, CB and a safety?) and another safety that was breaking over the top. They all had a shot at the ball and I'm not even sure how Bevell could see Dawkins yet he threw it anyway. I was always curious what Bevell was yelling about. He was pissed too, and pointing his finger at JC (his receiver, not his lord and savior).

I was at that game in Madison. What an ass kicking from start to finish. We just got it handed to us all day long. I also thought that made the bowl win a bit sweeter.

Rae Carruth scored 2 TD's in that '95 game. I wonder if he's the only athlete to play at Camp Randall and later get a life sentence.

Looking to future schedules, we have a PAC team already in place for six of the next seven seasons:

2012 - @ Oregon State
2013 - @ Arizona State
2014 - @ Washington State
2015 - Washington State
2016 -
2017 - Washington
2018 - @Washington

I suppose we could add CU in 2016. By contrast, they have no B1G teams scheduled until Minnesota in 2021 and @ Minnesota in 2022. Info from NationalChamps.net:

What's happened with that rumored UMass game?

These ARE the good old days!

IIRC JC Dawkins broke his leg at the spring game and we had another injury on a woeful team that finished with a terrific 3-3 tie on a clod, blustery day.

Grunwald said the opportunity to get a great education and play for a "world renowned hockey team'' were the biggest factors in his decision to commit to UW.

UWBadgers.com, alas, only has the 2012 schedule and the conference schedules for 2013 and 2014, so I had to check another site.

Nope. That's also the same answer Barry will give to adding another BCS team to 2016.

C.O.F.

elderly gangbanger

Hard for me to forget the '94 game. I'd come to Madison to see my folks, especially my dad, who was very ill at the St. Mary's Convalescent Center. So, clueless as usual, on Friday morning I made arrangements to get a portable TV set into his room so we could watch the game together, he being a UW alum and life-long Badger fan. Never had to pick it up. He died at 4:00 PM.

Ah well, he took Badger losses very hard. The game would've probably killed him in any event.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a 17 year old female. I love Maroon 5. Adam Lambert makes me sweat. Pete Wentz is the shizzle. Shit. Gave it away with "shizzle," didn't I?"

I went out to Boulder that year with a friend who was working or the Herald at the time, so I got a sideline pass and took some pix. Shitty, shitty game, but BOY did we have a good time. From Pearl Street to the strip clubs to a day trip up to Breckenridge, I'd go back in a heartbeat.

I was at both games. What a couple of ass-kickings from start to finish. I think Pete Monty may have actually touched Kordell Stewart on one pass play. That may have been the Badger highlight from the two games.

I just wish some here would step forward and eat crow, but I realize that's asking for too much. -Saint Bucky
