Over the weekend, the Columbus Dispatch newspaper wrote it has received confirmation from Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith that his office is negotiating with Colorado for a 2011 football game between the Buffaloes and Buckeyes.
The game would be played in Ohio Stadium.
“We are trying to finalize a game for 2011,” Smith told the Dispatch. “We hope to have an announcement on that within the next month.”
CU and Ohio State have not played each other in football since 1986, a 13-10 Ohio State victory in Columbus.
I’m not sure this has anything to do with the interest or negotiations but CU Chancellor Phil DiStefano holds bachelor’s and doctorate degrees from Ohio State and came to CU in in 1974 from his alma mater, where he taught humanities education.
