Greetings, Buff fans, from www.cuatthegame.com
It could finally be a good weekend to be a CU fan. Not since week two against Eastern Washington have the Buffs been a double digit favorite (yeah, I know. Don’t remind me). If there is going to be a game to build on in November, 2008, which will help Buff fans through to September, 2009, it is this game.
In this week’s "T.I.P.S."
T - Talent. A look at ISU quarterback Austen Arnaud and CU receiver/returner Josh Smith.
I - Intangibles. How the loss of Rodney Stewart may help the Buffs.
P - Preparation/Schedule. Iowa State is the only team in the Big 12 eliminated from bowl consideration. How will that affect Saturday’s game?
S - Stats. If the Buffs can’t move the ball against this defense ... (okay, so the same was true last weekend, too).
Plus,
Trivia - what aspect of the CU/ISU rivalry is in the NCAA record books? Why is a cardinal roaming the sidelines for the "Cyclones"?
This Day in History - "Ru-dy!", "Ru-dy!", "Ru-dy!" - the real game between Notre Dame and Georgia Tech (1975); Georgia’s one and only Buck Belue (1980); and CU/Missouri (2003).
Archive Game of the Week. This one is special. CU/ISU, 1980. The only win of my freshman year in Boulder. How could I forget?
Enjoy your week, and your weekend! Go Buffs!
