A family rivalry between Colorado and Nicholls

Why this weekend's match up has a special meaning for the Bernardi's

Donald Hall might have summed up football the best when he said, "Baseball is fathers and sons. Football is brothers beating each other up in the backyard."

Gary and Rob Bernardi can relate to that sentiment all too well. The two brothers have always been competitive by nature and coaching has been instilled in their blood. Gary serves as Colorado's offensive line coach after coming over from San Jose State three years ago with head coach Mike MacIntyre. Rob is the longtime athletic director at Nicholls, a FCS school from Thibodaux, Louisiana.
