So we were the topic of his best-case/worst case today and I have to say that his best case was one of the greatest pieces of writing about the Buffs that I can remember. My favorite part:

"Do you guys see this!" an enraged Embree says to his team during a meeting Monday before the game. He holds a bike above his head that it appears someone has vandalized with cheap, red spray paint.

"This is my 15-year-old daughter's bike. Look what they did to it! It used to be black and gold, our beloved colors. And now it is Utah red! Those, those, Utes... they made her cry!"

The meeting room erupts. "They made coach's daughter cry!" rages 6-foot-8 guard Ryan Miller. "We must crush them, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentation of their women!"

It will become known as the "Red Bike Incident." Utes fans will alternately revel in it or deny involvement. Years hence, college football historians will lean back and sagely say, "Yep, that was when those Buffs and Utes really started to hate each other. Might be the most vicious rivalry in all of college football."

Colorado prevails 28-27 in a game that features 195 yards in penalties. The Buffs then stomp Clemson in the Sun Bowl and finish 9-5.

Embree's recruiting class ranks 15th in the nation. The Big 12 falls apart. Nebraska finishes last in the Legends Division of the Big Ten.

The snow comes early and often and is most righteous.

Do yourself a favor and read the whole thing.

The red bike seems like a vaguely familiar story:

So fun/funny. I sent it to a handful of folks immediately after reading it. People on the bus probably thought I was crazy for laughing that hard at 7AM. :)

EDIT: I'm really stoked that we now get our ESPN Blog from Ted Miller over David Ubben or whoever it was before him. I like Ted Miller's writing a ton. His mailbag answer the other day was classic too: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/24156/opening-the-mailbag-pac-12-and-nfl

Aside from Miller's comment that win #6 makes the Buffs bowl eligible, I found this a highly entertaining read. A++++++
