I enjoy watching CU play good football.
This means the Buffs are competitive when playing anyone on the schedule.
On the field, the offense is able to sustain drives. 3 and out drives me crazy. I'm disappointed when the Buffs convert <60% of third downs. Trips inside the 20 have to result in putting points on the board. I expect >100 yards rushing. The QB needs to complete >65% of throws. TDs need to outnumber INT/Fumb 5:1.
On defense, I expect good tackeling. Solid hits = good. Arm tackles = Teh suk. The opposing QB should be pressured. Coverage should not be blown. I expect > 8 INT per season.
I expect a positive turnover ratio.
I expect the kicking game to be the envy of the B12. I expect no missed PATs nor FGs from inside the 35. I expect opposing teams are never allowed to bring a KR out past their own 35. When there is no wind, CU's kickoff should go through the endzone better than half the time. I expect punts to average >45 yards, but not so far to result in a touchback.
I expect <50 yards in penalties, no false starts, and no personal fouls.
I expect shrewd clock management from the QB and coaches.
Off the field, I don't want to hear about violence, drugs, poor grades, or any behavior that brings embarassment to the school. Stories of excellence in the classroom and in the community should be abundant.
I expect the coaches to say what they do, and then do what they say. I expect no NCAA sanctions. I expect the best talent in the state to be Buffs. I expect that CU can recruit anywhere in the country, because Boulder is on par or better than any school in the B12, and every bit is sexy as ND, UCLA, Oregon, Wiscy. I expect a few starters to be from SEC country.
I expect the Buffs to regularly win on the road. I expect a good game against any team from the North, and an opportunity to play in the CCG every year. I expect a win over CSU. I expect a better than .500 record against ranked teams. I expect CU not to be blown out by more than 3 scores.
I expect CU fans to fill Folsom and make it their priority to attend at least one road game each year. I expect any CU fan with adequate resource to be familiar with the C-Club. All die hard fans should make it a life's mission to attend a bowl game at least once a decade, more if possible. There should be >1,500 CU fans in the visitors section for every away game.
So long as those expectations are met, I don't really need to dwell on W's & L's.
