In the NFL, players are meat. They are interchangable pieces to a puzzle and little more. Unless you are a guy like Peyton Manning or Von Miller. And even then, remember the whole reason Peyton came to Denver in the first place was because Indy thought he was washed up and cut him loose.

Contrast to the college game, where there is a little bit of that (Saban), but overall it's a different mindset with the coaches and fans.
I enjoy CU football because that's my school out here. I enjoy the pageantry of it. The whole experience of a college game is dramatically different than that of an NFL game. Add to that the fact that the players choose where they play in college. The NFL chooses where the players play. There's more of a connection to the players in college as a result.

7-5?

That is kind of rough.

I mean, it could happen, but that would be disappointing, because that would mean losing games that, looking at the state of the Pac-12 South, we should not lose.

I, too, think that getting to a bowl - which is what our collective goal was at the beginning of the season - should still be an acceptable accomplishment, but at 4-1 and the way we've looked, and looking at the schedule ahead, 7-5 would be hard to swallow.

CU is part of my core. Ask my friends, my wife, my kids. This one is huge and I have watched pieces of my heart get ripped out over the last decade. This year has been fun and I think it continues on Saturday. It sure is fun to finally have expectations again and feel like we can compete with teams that in years past I hoped we would not get embarrassed by. Football is fun again!

I was the last man standing amongst all my college friends graduating between 1989-1994 and still watching most of the games the past 5 years. Some of them are waking back up to the Rise, some are still not quite there yet.

I'm one of the only group of my college friends that have continued to go (2005-2009). It was even hard in some of the later years to get people to go to the games instead of staying home to drink. Just met up with a former roommate last saturday who said this was his first trip to Folsom in 3 years. The alumni are coming back, new fans are being created, and The Rise is in full swing. Buffs need to get rid of the USC monkey on their backs tomorrow to continue to show that this is no joke and that the Buffs are here to stay for a while.

I get it. I graduated in 89 and then with a masters in Dec 90. I have had the season tix ever since and just could never pull the plug on dumping them. Combine that with at least 1 road game a year, I have been to a bunch of games knowing we would not win. So happy to be able to see them on the way back up. Just in time for Son #1 to become a freshman at CU next year! Hope he gets to enjoy a ride like I did in the mid to late 80s

Congrats to your son!

My kids hit soccer age the same time things started going downhill for the Buffs in the final 3 years of the GB era, so it wasn't that hard to give them up. I swore off road games after the 47-7 debacle at FSU in 2003, but had already committed to seeing the WSU game in Seattle the next year.

I'm seeing 3-4 games at Folsom this year after just seeing 1 each season in person the last several years. I will look to get a roadie assembled for next year. I may not opt back in for season tickets until getting game tickets becomes difficult. This year, for 4 games, it looks like the attendance is 5 people for OSU, 1 person (in a group of 8) for ASU, 2 people for UCLA, and then 3-4 people for the Utah game. It's just more convenient to vary the quantity purchased for the time being assuming you can actually buy tickets in season.

PS - I bow to people like yourself, Sackman, Buffnik, and others who have maintained their season tickets through thick and thin.
 
Buffs in the media are rallying. Saw Christian Fauria on the post-game lat last night for the CBSSN studio show after their game finished. His pick of the week against the spread was the Buffs as a straight up winner.
 
My son is wanting to go to one sometime this season, just gotta figure out which one. It'll be later on but doable.

I've met Brad and his son when his son was, like, 11 or 12. Just want to point out that his son must take after his mom.
 
Back to the game. We made mistakes against Michigan which likely cost us the game. We made mistakes against Oregon which, arguably, should've cost us that game. In my mind, in order to beat SC, we have to play mistake free. No interceptions. No fumbles. And few missed tackles leading to big gainers by them.

Dude, you talk an enormous amount of **** to people who are fans of Colorado sports teams. Buffs especially.
 
Mistakes are going to happen. We have to make sure that we force a young USC QB to make more mistakes.

Comment was WAY above your and Yung's pay grade, I see.
Ever go to Rockies' game and see anyone with Rox gear keep score? Me neither! They're too busy buying over-priced beers.
Go to Fenway without a scorecard and a stubby little pencil and they know you're a tourist---or worse, a Yankees' fan!
