It’s not football, but Air Force and Colorado have agreed to play a home-and-home series in men’s basketball beginning in the 2011-12 season.
The series would begin at the Academy’s Clune Arena and go to Boulder in 2012-13.
“We have everything pretty much done for the first two games,” Air Force athletic director Hans Mueh said. “We’re working on scheduling two more games.”
Mueh said there could be a season off between the first two games and the second two-game series. He also indicated the matchup could continue on a yearly basis.
“I’d personally like to see that happen,” Mueh said. “We’d like to begin playing all of the Division I teams in the state.”
The Falcons already play CSU as part of their Mountain West Conference schedule. Their other in-state opponents would be the University of Denver and Northern Colorado.
