We were'nt winning football games when GB was canned. It was time.
It was time - but it could have been avoided. Don't agree that it was all on GB. Great coach and bleeds BNG. What turned me off was watching him get thrown under the bus by the local press and CU admin. Seemed to me that CU decided having a real FB program was just too much work and not worth the trouble to stick up for. If they had lawyered up and done a little PR work, the whole thing would have blown over, IMO. They abetted our local asshat press in painting GB as a pariah, and tearing down everything Mac worked 15 yrs to build. Mac's legacy deserved better. Barnett deserved better. The program and the fans deserved better.
Felt pretty much the same way when Hawk was kept on last winter. Like anything in life. If you're not prepared to fight for it, you won't have it long. The admin needs to show they're willing to go to the mat for athletics if they want big boy football back at CU. If they don't, they really should quit ****ing everyone around, announce they're moving to DII and call it a day. It's painful to watch.
