CU v UT - Tale of the Tape

[13evO]

It's not often that UT has to compete w/ CU on a major recruit. But here's a quick comparison:

CU v UT – Tale of the Tape

Wins since 2000
UT – 85 (5 versus CU)
CU – 50 (1 versus UT)

Active NFL Players
UT – 33
CU – 22

First Round Draft Picks since 2000
UT – 12
CU – 2

Current Temperature
Austin – 68 degrees
Boulder – Cold as ****

Average Summer Temperature
Austin – 72 degrees in practice bubble
Boulder – 72 degrees

Average Summer Temperature for a recruit returning home to California for summer break
Austin – Whatever the temperature is in Oxnard
Boulder – Whatever the temperature is in Oxnard

Right now in active NFL players the difference is probably going to be worse for CU after this year's draft.

Listen, UT is clearly the better football school, but Boulder is a great town. The politics are not really to my liking, but you can find plenty of that in Austin too. Boulder is absolutely beautiful and there is a ton of stuff to do. You can argue the weather issue either way depending on personal preferences, but understand that Boulder is not the Midwest. To my knowledge, Boulder gets more days of sunshine per year than Austin. I don’t believe that every Horn practice is in the bubble in the summer. Maybe it is, but Boulder in August is darn nice…August in Austin on the other hand is downright unpleasant.

Austin and Boulder each have about 300 days of sunshine a year. It all depends on whether you prefer 95F for a while or 10F for a while.

Dammit Hagy, take your weather talk where it belongs:

It is a lot easier to cool off in the summer when it is hot (plunge into Barton Springs for example) than it is to warm up in the winter in Boulder when it is cold as hell. You can't very well plunge into a roaring fire now can you.

When your talking about weather consider the clothes people esar...Austin women have a year round wiggle and Jiggle while in Boulder the spring thaw must be fully established before the hooded parkas open up and you can see those ummm bulky sweaters and thermal bib ski suits...YEAH,,,It is "perky" weather in Austin year round...

Im just saying...

of all the things that UT football has over CU football, why bring up weather?

the number of football players that die in Texas each and every year from heat related instances, is more than the sum total of players that have ever died from the cold weather in CO.

 

[uh_huh]

Jesus Herbert Christ!

Signing day can not get here quick enough.

This stupid banter about ******* weather is mind-numbingly painful to process.

Austin gets hot. Boulder gets cold. I think it's been covered a hundred ******* times already.

DS HATES the cold. He will be a Longhorn

 

[sessamoid]

To a kid from Oxnard, CA, 50 F is "cold". 5 F is simply unthinkable.

 

[IcyHotStunta]

Using this logic, every recruit in the world should go to USC or Florida.

Weather comparison was meant as a footnote to the OP. Regarding football, there is no comparison between UT & CU.

It's like comparing OU versus Princeton in academics. Or comparing OU versus UT in academics. Or comparing OU to Austin Community College in academics.
