winning against the Goats is anti-climactic. I get pretty pumped before the game, not because of the supposed rivalry, but because Buff FB is about to begin.
I am sick of hearing about how CSewe does less with less (pun intended), how it should be played at the Big Diaphragm, how it's good for CFB in the state, bleat, bleat, bleat...
Fact is, CSewe gets propped up by this game, giving them a NAtl. TV game, $$$ and a yearly BCS opponent. CU gains nothing in this game. If CU wins, we hear about how valiant the sheep were in "giving it all the have" etc. If by some miracle the sheep win, it's all you hear for the rest of the year.
I am glad the Buffs laid a 21 pt. beatdown on the goats. I am looking for two more and then end the series and let CSewe sink or swim on their own in the mtn. weenie div.
FWIW, I think Fairchild could do a good job up there. But he needs to recruit. Unlike CU, nearly all of CSewe's contributors are seniors. The cupboard is bare. IF Fairchild can get some talent in the door, CSewe will be OK. But it is going to be ugly for the next couple of years. Imagine Sunday's game without Johnson, Sperry, Farris. Not pretty.
