Listening to Joe and Jim Armstrong today, they had some national college football expert on. I think he was an ESPN.com guy or something. The asked him how he thought CU was going to do this year and he said, essentially, that "With their schedule and lack of talent, they will be lucky to win 4 games."

Now, I find myself believing that Hawkins will surprise people this year and also believe they were very close to being a fairly decent team last year. So, who is full of ****? Me or the "expert." (I know. Both of us!) So, are the dire predictions going to come true or is Hawk going to shock the world?

I agree with the fact that we were not as bad as the 2-10 record. I hope more "experts" keep chiming in with that doom and gloom outlook. It will only inspire the team more.

I don't think we are going to shock the world but I do believe that 6 wins is very feasible.

national experts are not in a position to know much about individual teams that aren't top 10. they generally have something close to conventional knowledge and cannibalize and regurgitate info they've gleaned from some other source. this is one thing i have learned about the internet: there is a huge skew when you go from local knowledge to the national "scene", from specific to general. there's nothing you can learn about a team from ESPN you can't learn by reading that teams boards or local newpapers--filtering through the homerism of course.

There are sure a lot of "toss-up" games on the schedule. I think there are only 3 games on the schedule that the Buffs have NO CHANCE to win right now. Florida State, Arizona State and Oklahoma. Bayond that, I think every other game is certainly winnable. Doesn't mean that they will win them, though.

Thats a great point. My perception of this guy was that he really didn't know much about CU personnel and had no knowledge of any improvements the team has made in things like strength and conditioning. Like you say, he just regurgitates what he's heard. But then, that is one of the fun things about college football. The unknown. You don't get that with the NFL.

As bad as our record was last season and as bad as a team as we were, there were at least 3 games that we should have and could have won. Look at the Georgia game, the Baylor game and Kansas and or Montana State, those were all winable games. From all reports the team this year has taken huge strides and anyone that simply looks at their record last year and translates that into a bad team this year obviously isn't worth their salt as a reporter.

I also don't think we will be world beaters and run the table but i don't think a .500 record and a low level bowl game is out of the question.

Let the "experts" bash the Buffs all they want, I feel some surprises will be on the way out of Boulder!

As bad as the Buffs were last year, going into the 4th quarter they were still in every game (except for Mizzo). Soemone posted the 4th quarter collapses earlier this week, but just look at each individual game and you can see the Buffs were still in it. Even playing at eventual Big 12 Champ OU, the Buffs were only down 10 going into the final quarter. You could not have said that about CU teams of the previous 3 seasons. I realize this year's schedule is more difficult, but I cannot believe they could be worse than last year. With some more time in the system under the belt and Pittman's hard ass approach, I think the Buffs will be able to finish as opposed to last year.

Scores at the end of 3 Quarters
Mt. State (Down 13-10)
CSU (down 14-10)

If Bruce baby has trouble finding four W's for the Buffs he's not looking very hard. CSU, Miami (OH), Baylor and ISU would fit the bill nicely. Sounds to me like Bruce couldn't find his backside with both hands and a flashlight.:haha:

Rep! For a team with a 2-10 record they weren't blown out many times. Hopefully the defense will continue to be as good as they were last year, figuring out how to replace guys like Thad and Abe Wright. The o-line should be more solid. I could see 7 or 8 wins as a real possibility if the offense gets going. Basically it all comes down to Cody (no pressure, kid.....)

Taking my black and gold colored glasses off for a minute...

I can completely understand why a national "expert" would say that the Buffs will have no better than a 4 win season. What are they going on? CU went 2-10 last year and lost to a D-1AA school. Our last two recruiting classes have been respectable but not stellar from a recruiting wonk perspective. On top of that the schedule is tough this year.

So, we can whine about the Buffs not getting respect and say that the experts are assholes and idiots but the fact is that Hawkins and company need to step up and prove they deserve respect.

Buff colored glasses back on... I believe in this coach and the players that he has brought into the system. I am very encouraged and pumped by the practice reports coming in and I think they will have a good year and get to a bowl game. IMHO how good of a year really depends on the CSU game.

CarolinaBuff

To say that CU will "be lucky to win 4 games" certainly didn't look beneath the covers of our 2-10 season. Everyone reading this knows how badly CU faded in the 4th quarter and left at least 4 potential wins on the field. I for one will be very disappointed if we only win 4 or 5 games. While I don't see us shocking the college football world as in 2001, I certainly think we will win 7 or possibly even 8 games.

My comment was not clear. Before the game, I did not think the Buffs had a great chance to win.

Just as today, I do not think the Buffs have any shot of beating Florida State, ASU, or Oklahoma in the upcoming season --- a year ago, before the season began, I did not think the Buffs had any shot of beating Georgia.

Ranking our hardest to easiest games:

1) OU - Damn good
2) ASU - Away game in dreadful heat; I think this will be a tougher win than FSU.
3a and b) FSU and NU - Both are at home, and the both have good teams
5a, b and c) Missou, KSU, CSU (all equal) - Missou is good but we got them at home; Kitties are away and are building off a decent year under Princess; Lambies always play their best against us.
8) TTU - Good team, but we seem to have their number lately
9) ISU - first year coach, but at Ames
10) Baylor - Away but we owe them for last year
11) KU - last year we had them on the ropes and let them up; this year we got them at home
12) Lowly mid-major.

Unless of course it's Phil Steele we're talking about. He was probably the only national prognosticator who saw CU rising nearly to the top in 2001, and he also accurately picked defending Pac-10 champ WSU to finish 10th in the Pac-10 in 1998, which they did.

I see the Koolaid is going around again. :smile2:

Rookie QB, Rookie WR, no established OL players, questions at RB. You guys are gonna need a lot of glue to to bring these guys together. I'll believe it when I see it. Sure, we have had an upgrade in talent. We still lack experienced players and depth on offense.

Four wins is probably reasonable CSU, BU, KSU, KU, ISU are all beatable. Maybe we beat MU due to the Pinkel factor. CSU, KSU (mid), and ISU (late) might be tougher games. Prince and Chizik (sp?) might have those teams geling by then.

We have a lot more uncertainty than only ISU and KSU. As usual, it's a tard festival in the Big 12.

Well, we did have a good chance to win. I think two things happened here; Georgia didnt take us seriously until the 4th quarter and Mark Richt has a habit of sucking as a HC sometimes.

While you may be right about overlooking us, our coaches outcoached them throughout the game. They could not figure us out and it pissed them off - they publicly acknowledged that after the game (fans and coaches). It also pissed them off that we demoralized their "rising star" of a quarterback during that game - our defense beat them up all day until they ran out of gas. It was our game but our defense simply ran out of gas in the 4th quarter and we had an untimely fumble on a run that would have sealed the game.

Bottom line - we had a very good front seven on defense that they didn't expect and Georgia just wasn't as good as they were getting credit for being.

I also argue that as 'tard as you think the Big XII is - I would stack our conference top to bottom against any of the major conferences (minus the SEC) and it woould prove to be better. That's not koolaid - that is just fact from seeing how overrated some of the conferences are year in and year out (Big 10).

We had an awesome defense last year. Thats why we lost so many games by such a small margin. It is likely, but no guarantee, we will have as good a defense this year. If we don't we could end up winning only two games again.

Tie us with the ACC?? :huh: Come on, the Big 12 deserves a hell of a lot more credit than that. If last year was any indication, the ACC is currently at the bottom of the 6 BCS conferences. Now that's based on last year and I wouldn't expect the same type of season again this year for the ACC, as they'll probably move up to at least 4th or 5th in the conference rankings. The outlook for this season looks much better with the expected return to power for FSU and VT, and possibly even the U. But so far in the first 2 years of the 12-team ACC, their performance on the national level has been underwhelming to say the least.

Don't bother - it really is not that important and frankly won't change my mind. The only way it would is if you lined up all the teams to play. Last year there were only three decent teams in the Big 10 and beyond that they were all mediocre at best. For all of the press that the Big 10 gets about being great they really aren't. It was great seeing the two teams that were supposedly the best in the nation get their asses handed to them in the new year.

I've heard all of the hoopla about bowl games not meaning much but I believe there is a reason for why that conference doesn't fare well in their bowl games. Just my humble opinion.

If by rubing his nuts, you mean buying Colorado a victory beer, then thank you for the compliment.

Otherwise refrain from bringing Hawkins into this little twisted fantasy of yours. The Nub math & english are bad enough. This tea bagging voyeristic fetish of which you speak is beyond the pail, and better left between you, your shrink and your priest. :moon:

The 2005 Tunnel Walk (below) shows some Nub class. Read it. There's no teabagging in there. Next time, try to immulate your cream and crimson heros. Your homo-erotic blathering brings shame to yourself and the Huskernation.

2005 Tunnel Walk Prayer/Chant Lyrics (Cory Ross leading):
Dear Lord, the battles we go through life,

We ask for a chance that's fair


A chance to equal our stride,

A chance to do or dare


If we should win, let it be by the code,

Faith and Honor held high


If we should lose, we'll stand by the road,

And cheer as the winners go by

Day by Day, we get better and better!

Til' we can't be beat...WON'T BE BEAT!


WOW I have heard it all now. A CU fan preaching "showing class"?!!! :smile2: If you take my **** talking seriously, then I am sorry you feel that way. It's all in good fun! :thumbsup:

Now if you look I edited it over 5 hours ago. I changed it 2 mins after I realized that I placed Hawkins name in there instead of Colorado. Although you may think you have stumbled on to some kind of conspiracy theory, I actually find it funny!


Oh by the way doesn't stoops have some more whining to do to the NCAA about striking some self reported violation??!!! :lol:

Know how to tell you are at a Husker house warming party?
When they ask you to help take the wheels off the trailer.

The only thing that's gonna be interesting is hearing Hawkins spew some more stupid raw raw bullshit come game time. It will be fun watching Callahan rub his nuts in Colorado's face for a third consecutive year! :thumbsup:

lol, nice try there nubby.

First of all, I'm not great at math, but I am better than you, thats saying something, get some math skills.

Second, in throatslashes first and ONLY year against Hawkins, it took cally trick plays in the 4th quarter to break away from a 1 point lead against the buffs. Hawk will be ready for those trick plays this year just like OU was ready for them in the Big 12 champioship after watching film.

just like the math you use here, 1+1=3, Stoops has never said anything about the NCAA findings and slap on the wrist the Sooner football program received.

but seeing that you brought up Coach Stoops..... I do know a certain piece of **** coach from the Big XII North that Stoops has teabagged 3 years n a row....

any guesses on who that might be genius???? :rofl:
