Colorado Football's Options for 2013 Postponed Fresno State Make-Up Date...

As many know Colorado had to postpone its contest against Fresno State this past weekend, scheduled for September 14th, due to the devastation caused by flooding in Boulder and the surrounding areas.  With the clean-up still ongoing and the inability to properly prepare for any team this Saturday September 21st, the only way to really achieve a contest against Fresno State this year is to have Fresno State play UNLV on Nov 16 and have the make-up game on October 19th.  However, comments from MWC commissioner Craig Thompson make it sounds like it is very low priority for them to have to move around their schedule to appease their big brother conference of the Pac 12.  Here are some options if UNLV won't reschedule their game with Fresno and forcing a different opponent:

1. San Diego State-San Diego State has a BYE that week and is allowed a 13th game since they play at Hawaii.  They also play Air Force the week before, so maybe they could play the game Thursday night and allow for San Diego State to have a long Colorado vacation.  Technology would allow for these athletes to take all classes without issues. However, Rocky Long and staff may not want to add another L to their season which looks like it may be one of the worse in Aztecs history.  However, taking the cash from Fresno and giving it to SDS so they can wave it in the Bulldogs face the 26th would be a bonus.
2. Hawaii-Talking Hawaii, their opponents are allowed a 13th game, so why not them for a season?  They play at UNLV on Saturday the 12th and a Thursday night against CU would allow for a nice trip away from the island.
3. Kentucky-They have a game against Alabama State at home scheduled early November but who wants to watch that?  Cancel that game and play at Colorado.  I unfortunately think since it is taking away a home game, the Wildcats face Mississippi State the following Thursday night on the road, this doesn't make a lot of sense.  However, a return trip date in 2015 might get the Wildcats to take the loss of a home game, but VERY UNLIKELY.
4. Air Force-It's local and the Buffs and Falcons communities have been affected by many natural and human caused disasters in 2013.  This would require the NCAA stepping up and giving the Falcons a 13th game.  The Falcons season is already long enough with the life of a cadet is exhausting.
5. Nebraska-There are 25 other schools that would have to be allowed a 13th game or lose a conference game that would then effect their conference schedule.  I think this game makes the most sense out of the 25 others.  Nebraska would be playing 3 games on the road consecutively, but they play 8 home games this year and only have 4 road games schedule and this is an old rivalry game that would bring out the ugly big red N loving fans and definitely all the true Colorado fans.  Screw it, make this the #1 game for me that I'd like to see.  UCLA whipped you and a growing CU team will to send little Bo Pe(ep)lini out of town red faced due to another Pac 12 team beating him and one that everyone thought would only get a win or two!
6. Added: San Jose State – I don't know how I missed this.  Mike McIntyre's former team. Also played at Hawaii.  They only have 12 games on the schedule and can add a 13th.  This is probably the equivalent of Fresno State.  A very good option.

Who knows if the Buffs can get to 3 wins let alone 6 (I for one think the Buffs are closer to 6 than 3 by season's end), but the last thing the Buffs and the city of Boulder needs is to not play a 6th game in Folsom in 2013.  The businesses, the university and the city need the revenue that a Buffs home game will generate.  Making the Fresno State game as a float game on December 7th makes no sense since Fresno should make the MWC championship game and Colorado coaches have preached to players they are capable of reaching the Pac 12 game.  Either way, Colorado needs help (Options to do so NOW!!!) and college football, the NCAA and others involved should add to the effort to ensure Colorado Football has a make-up game to the Fresno State postponement.
