Are you?
Maybe among media types. Everyone else seems to hate on colorado pretty strongly.
The downside to a Colorado matchup is you're the bad guy, everyone will be rooting against you
If hating Colorado is wrong then I don't want to be right.The downside to a Colorado matchup is you're the bad guy, everyone will be rooting against you and their fans can be pretty nasty but the upside is, wherever the Buffs go will be the most marketed and covered bowl game outside of the CFP and honestly, it'll be as big as some of them. There will be many who watch that game that don't care about the CFP. The situation is very similar to Caitlin Clark.
Next year people won't care who Miami played in a bowl but for years everyone will know who Coach Prime played in his first bowl game. It would be a ton of exposure for the program. They are the marquee name in the non playoff post season games.

I've always heard Colorado fans were bad, but I never had a bad experience with them when they were in the Big 12 back in the day. That included a trip to Boulder when Arnaud got hurt
I disagree. Plenty, plenty, plenty of people root against Deion. In fact, where on earth are you finding all these pro-Deion people anyway? Besides ESPN talking headsThe downside to a Colorado matchup is you're the bad guy, everyone will be rooting against you and their fans can be pretty nasty but the upside is, wherever the Buffs go will be the most marketed and covered bowl game outside of the CFP and honestly, it'll be as big as some of them.

Looks like Colorado fans have the same opinion as I do about the Alamo…

Kind of like most fan bases in that situation…we fit to a degree as we have very limited bowl experiences, and unlike CU, we've never scratched the surface of playing for a national title or winning conference titles.Six Bowl games since 2002. Colorado fans are delusional.
Probably the same dumb CU fans that are down here in Dallas because they bought tickets early.Looks like Colorado fans have the same opinion as I do about the Alamo…

If we have to play in the Alamo, I guess I wouldn't mind facing Colorado. You know that Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter would be sitting out this game, so they would be very beatable.
Years ago I heard a quote that the secret to spectator sports is making fans believe that what happens is important. That's really just as true for the playoff as for bowl games. If I were a player, I'd say "I came here to play football. I put hundreds of hours into the weightroom and practice. Here's a football game; I'll go with my brothers and play it."Bowls are stupid, even more in the playoff era. More and more they are going to become like the old NFL pro bowl. Meaningless.
That’s what used to happen. Now it’s about NIL, trying to get to the NFL, etc. To be clear,Years ago I heard a quote that the secret to spectator sports is making fans believe that what happens is important.

It’s hard to blame kids for opting out of bowl games to prevent injury as they look to the NFL. I don’t like it, but I understand it. It’s a little less understandable for kids to leave their team before a bowl game to protect themselves for the portal.That’s what used to happen. Now it’s about NIL, trying to get to the NFL, etc. To be clear,
I don’t blame the kids for sitting out of bowl games that have a shot at the pros, just stating that the game has changed and it close to jumping the shark.
