No,
He sees his team one way: The hard work and struggle will pay off and the Buffs will eventually be one of the best teams in the country.
I see my team another: I appreciate the hard work and fully support the team, but until the culture changes and they are able to recruit like every single team in the Big 12 and SEC, the Buffs will always look more like Kansas and less like Texas.
They just happen to be the same team.
And I'd rather agree to disagree instead of resorting to name calling

Meh... this year has been disappointing for several reasons. Why?
Players that a lot of us expected to be making MAJOR contributions aren't for one reason or another:
Katoa
Major
Miller
MTM
Scott
Simas
Celestine
Kai
Tau
The tight ends in general
Polk
There's a laundry list of issues why these players aren't contributing. It's just unfortunate that they aren't.
Were even 2/3rds of these players healthy/playing/contributing I think CU would be a different team this year.

I agree Mizzou and OK State may be ugky. Mizzou will be fired up ate home. Neb and aTM look better than expected and on the road may present a problem. I state no problemo. I say 3 wins with luck but more likely 2.

No,
Factually you make some valid points in your posts. There are many things changing in college football that are a shame. That more and more money being dumped into programs is a fact, nonetheless it is taking away the sport and charm of the game. The offenses are getting more cliche and copied just like the pro’s. I could go on and on.
The offense you commit sir (since you don’t like to resort to name calling) is in your too pragmatic approach. You come on this board, a board filled with people truly passionate about the Buffs and you trample their hopes, dreams, and desires with your “practical” the Buffs will never again amount to a hill of beans attitude.
If you really are a Buff fan I think you’ll find much more enjoyment in life if you take the time to dream a little. Based on your posts I have a hard time seeing you find much passion in anything, other than debating. You sure take the air out of any fun or passion associated with the Colorado Buffalo football program. The worst of it is you act like you are doing us a favor dumping this “that’s the way it is folks” junk all over us.
Maybe in time you’ll find your niche on this board, other true characters and oddities have. But for now don’t be too amazed if we aren’t impressed with your dispassionate approach to Buff football. The members here still have a passion for this team and desire to see the program ascend to greatness again whether that is practical in your eyes or not.

I sure am proud that my neg rep took him to red where he belongs. Buff fans don't get red, but he is not a Buff fan.

:focus: 2 of 3 vs. Clones/Aggies/Fuskers & I still like our chances with Okie State since I like our chances anytime we're at home
And even if we're playing a weak ass team like the Fuskers in a bowl game there is no argument that can be made that it's not worth making that bowl....anyone who believes that obviously thinks Licoln is an accredited university
A&M and Iowa St are must wins.
The Buffs can beat Nebraska as well, but Okie St and Missouri are a lot to ask of this young team.

Fine. We can agree to disagree. I still reserve the right to feel that your perspective is short sighted and defeatist. If anything the Boise States, Vanderbuilts, Rutgers, Southern Floridas, Utahs, Fresnos, Hawaii's, Kansas', Cal's, UNC's, Wake Forrests, Boston Colleges (and many many more schools that I can't think of at the moment) have shown us is that being a 'have' or 'have not' is meaning less and less on the football field.
If you still disagree then explain to me Southern Methodist. This is a school that has a national championship tradition, strong support of the school, alumni support most schools dream of, all the $$ they could ever want, a gorgeous stadium, they live in the hot bed of Texas recruiting, in a very good metropolitan city (Dallas) and it's an excellent academic institution. This is a school that is a 'have' of everything on your list except a BCS conference yet for two decades they have not been able to make a splash anywhere near what the "have nots" on my list above have been able to do. How is that possible? They are a 'have', certainly more than CU by your standards, so how come they are not a perennial top 10 with a few NC's? (Don't give me this "death penalty" BS either. That was more than 20 years ago. They rebuilt Europe after WWII in less time so the 'death penalty' excuse doesn't cut it.)
Or could it be that you are wrong. Could it be that being a 'have' may make the road to the top an easier one to travel but the truth is that anyone can make it to the top regardless of what they 'have' or don't 'have'. Conversely, if a program has all it could ever want (a 'have') but lacks the confidence in itself to make it to the top (a program with your defeatist attitude) then it is destined to fall dreadfully short despite all it's advantages (see SMU or MU or ND or....).
The point of all this is that the only 'ceiling' for the buffs is the one we put on ourselves. I, for one, don't see a ceiling just an opportunity to show the greatness this program was once known for.

And when Oregon was a failing program through the 80's, would you have told them they had no chance...ever? I agree their rise was somewhat circumstantial, but it wasn't entirely based on Phil Knight's donations. Rich Brooks pulled them out of the ashes well before the money began to flow.
And yet you accuse CU fans of behaving like Detroit fans--and supporting our team even when they're bad. Which is it? Success will bring a fair measure of support. Dare I use the word "incremental" again? I'm simply pointing out the hypocracy of your logic.
Based on what? That is an absurd assertion. Is that why CU's last class was ranked above most of the schools on the list?
So I'll ask the question again. Where was the SEC in the 90's. Yes, I concur they're a very good conference, and often without peer. Not clear on what your point is here. There's plenty of great teams outside of the SEC.
Please do your research before accusing me of being wrong. Two of the players I listed were ranked as 4-Stars and another a 5-Star--you're losing some credibility here. Again, I'd be interested in hearing your evidence for your assertions. Every player commits for his own reasons.
You suggested that CU couldn't keep a staff, and I presented evidence which proved otherwise. How am I being small-schoolish? Hawk's entire staff returned this year, and I'd argue Brown, Grimes and Cabral are excellent. Other members of the staff are very good as well.
And the cycle will continue. Yes, CU faces challenges, they are ours to overcome.
Same arguement we've already heard. Yes, recruiting against some of these guys remains a challenge. I'd point out that CU went head-to-head with Oklahoma on three players last year, Jones, Major and Katoa, and won two out of three of those battles.
And I think that changes in recruiting and scholarships makes it more dynamic.
Thanks for your opinions. I no longer believe that you are a CU fan, but more likely a nebraska agitator. Regardless, I don't mind hearing what you have to say.

This guy is officially a douche. If you said that to me/ in front of me/ in earshot of me, I would destroy you. What kind of fan are you? Come on over to Farrand Field before any game and say that to the real tailgaters.
You are fake and never deserve to be a fan.
Go jerk off with some sandpaper.
Ouch. Talk about chaffing.

You are right in Hansen being the future, but how much are they going to play him? If Cody gets the most reps, I don't see a big difference.
Cody didn't get the most reps in the last game. I don't see any reason to expect he'll get the most in the next one. Or the next one after that...
I think we'll slowly start seeing more and more of Hansen over Cody, unless for some reason he's starts to digress and Cody is lighting it up. Both of which I doubt will happen.
For now we should expect to Hansen at THE QB for the team, even if not in name (as starter).
I say that by the ISU game Hansen will be the starter.
