Mike MacIntyre opens his coaching tenure at Colorado against rival Colorado State

DENVER – Understandably, Mike MacIntyre is a little anxious for his Colorado Buffaloes debut.

Then again, the new CU coach has never lost to Colorado State, going 2-0 against the Rams when he was in charge at San Jose State.

This is an entirely different situation as MacIntyre begins his bid to turn around a team coming off a program-worst 1-11 campaign. History won't exactly be on MacIntyre's side Sunday against the Rams, considering that since the 1930s, only one CU coach has won in his debut (Rick Neuheisel in 1995).
