That almost brought a tear to my eye reading that....and my wife wonders why I still watch the games as bad as they are, why I still go to games and stay even though they're getting beat. This guys explanation is why. I love the Buffs....most people in this state bleed Orange and Blue.....I bleed Black and Gold. Huge reps to that guy.

This is great, we need more of this here. I ran away from the program during the end of the Hawkins Fiasco and I got pulled back in by a college friend. Glad I did. I still complain about coaching and recruiting but now we have Beer. So all is good here shoulder-to-shoulder in the Beer Garden.

Me too. I have about three things with Broncos on them, and at least 50 with CU on them.
Disagree with who?

Sorry, previous post was in response to 89BUFF89 stating "RG doesn't give thousands of tickets away like the previous AD. Also, everyone sees what ASU has done to us the last few years + our 1st two games = fan confidence of a competitive game basically 0. I will go but leave early if it gets out of hand. Not worth staying until almost midnight if we are getting destroyed".

Whatever - I can do what I like sorry to disappoint you. Maybe I should just stop buying tickets and donating too huh?

One thing about families is that they need to be tough to survive.
No family on the planet is immune from a little dysfunction, and Buff Galaxy is no exception.
We can stand shoulder to shoulder and still not see eye to eye. That's okay.
If you show up to cheer success, that's easy.
The hard part is knowing what to do when the success is hard to come by?
Some take the rah, rah approach and beg fans to show up and cheer. This is the segment who are sunshine pumpers who drink kool aid and subscribe to the power of positive thinking.
Some turn into arm-chair experts and evaluate every piece of information, every word, every web site, and every game stat in order to better understand the problem and perhaps offer some expertise or some solution.
Yet another group have been burned enough times that a more cautious path is taken. Like they say in Missouri, "show me". There are pessimists and curmudgeons who know success when they see it, and don't candy coat problems when they exist.
Finally, there are those looking for entertainment and a good time. Wins = happy. Loses = sad. This group doesn't care about practices, or recruiting stories, or politics within Dal Ward or Regents hall. Give this group a tailgate, a chance to watch Ralphie run, and some quality football, and call it a day. If the scene is morbid and negative, then it's adios. Call me when things turn around.
True Buffs can fall into any of these categories. You can tell who they are because they buy tickets, make donations to CU instead of or in addition to 20,000 other worthwhile charitable entities. They know that the worst day on CU's campus is still better than an average day at work. And the best day in Folsom is close to heaven on earth.
God bless all you sunshine pumpers, arm-chair experts, curmudgeons, good-times seekers, and various other riff raff who love CU as family.
But beware, you sunshine pumpers. It's perfectly normal in a family for siblings to fight. If some sunshine pumper demands that everyone in the Buff family should unconditionally pump sunshine because of the shoulder to shoulder thing, then you are itching for a fight and probably deserve to be kicked in the nuts.

Whole crew is in town huh.
GREAT POST, in my opinion. Still just a newbie here to the site but had to just say this is right on!
You you really sum it up so well here. I'm one of those who shows up even when we lose. Like tomorrow, I think we will win. I'll sit there still thinking we will win! And just being at Folsom and in boulder on game day is great. I'm sure many people think I'm crazy for predicting a CU win tomorrow. After we lose, I'll call for the coach to be fired for about 1 day before I come back to a more realistic view and then think we will win the next one! But either way I will wear my CU gear with pride no matter what. At the grocery store the day after we lost to CSU, a woman said to me that she was a CU fan but too embarrassed to wear her Buff stuff after the loss. In my opinion, it's like someone said before: the worst day as a CU fan is still better than the best day as a ram.
i do think to attract the entertainment fans, HCMM will need to win. and RG selling beer will help with some of those folks too.
The focus should be in each, not just one of those groups, who are buff fans! don't you think? As the sunshine pumper, I'll always there- win or loss.
