I added a comment just now. I'm feeling that it's more important than ever to put the positive spin out there on CU.
Possibly the best article I've read in the DP on the expansion issue.
CU is down. CU will be back. Even with 4 straight bad seasons with what appears to have been a hiring mistake, we've still been to a bowl game in 8 out of 14 Big 12 seasons, won the North 4 times, won the conference once and finished with a top 10 ranking twice. CU has also had 3 national award winners during that time (Dick Butkus Award - Matt Russell, John Mackey Award - Daniel Graham, Ray Guy Award - Mark Mariscal), 2 recent runners up in Jordan Dizon (Butkus) and Mason Crosby (Groza), and two players inducted into the college football hall of fame (Bobby Anderson in 2006 and Alfred Williams in 2010).
I'm happy the Buffs are joining the PAC 12. I look for continued or even greater success there than we have enjoyed in the Big 12 and the Big 8 before it.
