WTF?
For the record, i think a nine win season is definately doable.
Having dumbass threads where buff fans are in denial and are content with the state of the Cu Buffs, is embarrassing. Having the fans rush the football field is probably one of the main reasons for this weekends letdown. Colorado underperformed against WV, and weakness that WV had was pass defense, and we couldn't exploit it. We couldn't pass worth shiite against EWU, and we played to the level of CSU. We are in deep **** my friends. Our special teams and Cody Hawkins are underacheiving. We can sit around and be patient, but alot of you folks forget we're not going to get better on D next year when we lose 2 starting DL's and Walters.
If we come out with a 6 win season, then expect the dream season to come in about 4-5 more years rather than next year or the year after. We are in dire of need of good DL recruits and DBs, this season is the most important season in recruiting thus far. If we wan't to make a splash in 09 we need to match 08's recruiting class's results.
But if you're like Coach Hawkins, and not like these sorry sunshine pumpers on this board and apologist, you do believe that this team is actually close to hitting it in high gear.
Coach Hawkins has high expectations from this team and sees the vast potential. Why can't the resident cheerleaders expect the same.
This loss didn't happen because of Cody's talent, or lack of. Nor did it happen because of any lack of talent on either side of the ball.
This loss is to be blamed for the horrible WV game we had no buisiness of winning, and having the fans run down the team congratulating them when this CU buff team clearly underachieved and was saved by the WV coach's game plan towards the end.
the buffs didn't do anything special. they got lucky. SUre you have the right to celebrate. But celebrate like you actually have had a NC before.
Expect great things from CU!
Buff fans are guilty for rewarding subpar and substandard play to the CU football team. Cody should have not been celebrating, nor should have the WR corp nor the DL in that game should have been celebrating out in the feild.
There is so much work to do. And if you think beating an underserving ranked team on Tv is worthy of a feild rush, when you know for a fact that this team has underachieved against lesser talent in EWU.. Then expect a big let down the week after.
So to summarize.
The loss happened becuase lack of execution, not lack of talent.
Be pissed. and vigilante CU football. You have a task ahead of you.
