kinda slow around here with no bowl game to talk about so looking ahead to 2017. There is 1 game that is winnable but not expected, would get Coach G one of his biggest wins so far and maybe even some poll votes- yes its da Rams of Colorado State. Like the beavs these guys started slowly but are on a bit of a roll. 2016 (so far): 7-5, fifth in their division. winners of 4 of last 5. Biggest win November 26th: @san Diego State 63-31 Worst Loss Oct 1 Wyoming 38-17 Common OS opponents: @colorado, Loss, 7-44 @minnesota, Loss, 24-31 (interesting comparison OS lost 6-47 and 23-30) This game is critical not just because of the opponent but because of the realistic opportunity it represents: If i keep my foot off the brake (and pencil in the necessary home win against Minnesota) i see the beavs getting to 3-0 with this win, 5 game win streak, first road win for these coaches, start knocking on the top 25 door. Don't stop me now i'm on a roll. Anyway you can tune in Thursday, December 22, 4:00 PM to ESPN for a sneak peak as CSU plays Idaho at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

I agree would be nice win.. especially on the road seeing as how OSU hasn't won a road game since Oct 2014(13 straight).. if they are going to improve they will need to learn to win games like this on the road

Why the heck would any power 5 conference member play AT Colorado state lol? That's like asking why ANY power 5 conference member would play at ANY non-power 5 school. There are probably 20 or so games like this every season. Maybe more if you think about it. I believe oregon plays at Wyoming next year.

Why the heck would any power 5 conference member play AT Colorado state lol? CSU is opening a brand new 41,000 seat, on-campus stadium next season. Their current stadium is about four miles from campus. Stands to reason that they'll probably have a fairly large crowd (probably about where our largest non-Civil War crowd was this year) for their first game vs. an FBS opponent in their new crib. One thing maybe working in our advantage: They play at Alabama the week before they play us.

Not sure this one really helps either. Takes a few weeks to get new players up to speed and to galvanize your playcalling.
