Oh. NFL. Might tune in later.

On a semi-related-but-not-really, note....this weekend pretty much sucks for College Football. They needed to take a couple of the good matchups and put them into this week because it's a huge drop off (yes, I understand that's not how this works, that's not how any of this works). No top-25 matchups, nor are any really close.

There's a few interesting games in there and maybe an upset! Bad CFB is better than no CFB. First 3 weeks are usually always sort of weak anyway.
Next month #MACtion start I think!

I pay attention to that game...Iowa State is a giant slayer they usually knock off someone good every other year
September 8th, 2016 at 8:36 PM ^
Not quite week 1, but it's strong.

I drafted him somewhat late as a wait and see kind of player. Has some potential, but it's hard to predict a ton from him this early.

I read that the Broncos took control of the naming rights from the city and are looking for the next sponsor to buy the rights. They decided not to take Sports Authority name off until they have a new naming partner.
September 9th, 2016 at 11:12 AM ^
Yes.
Part of the bankruptcy proceedings for SA involves resolving the naming rights which has been settled. Now the Broncos need to find a new sponsor. The rights are something along the lines of a 3yr - $25M deal, or in the range of $8M/year. The Broncos pitched my firm - somewhat knowing that we'd never do it and in the end, doesn't make sense for my Wall St firm - on the rights ....
There's sort of a joke now that the naming rights are the kiss of death after both INVESCO and SA took turns, but also the fact that Denver is a very Oil/Energy-based market and most of those companies that might likely be candidates are taking it on the chin over the past 2yrs and in addition to falling stock prices and dried up revenue, the appearance of paying for the naming rights in the midst of the Energy decline would be bad.
It has been said that more than one Cannabis company has offered to pay for the rights and keep it as Mile HIGH ...but no way.
Go Broncos!!

College football is so much better...but I'm learning to like NFL more and more. Never disliked it, just always enjoyed CFB more than anything else. Excited to see this game and this is FAR better no football.
September 8th, 2016 at 8:46 PM ^
CFB gets my juices going for sure...NFL is more antiseptic but, technicially, it's crisper, faster and more refined

Long story short: Both are great. I grew up with NFL and love it. When I went to UM, I learned to love that too...

I was born bleeding Orange and Blue ...
And the Broncos gameday atmosphere has been described as one of the best in the NFL and by players like Peyton Manning before he signed here, as very "college-like" in terms of the fans and passion for the team.
September 8th, 2016 at 8:32 PM ^
Broncos have a nice entrance thing with that horse leading the charge.
September 8th, 2016 at 8:37 PM ^
UCF does the same thing.
And we're going to destroy them.
