I saw an interesting question posed during yesterday's Kyle Ringo twitter chat: who would win a game between the 2012 and 2006 Buffs?*For the record, Ringo*responded*that he thought the '12 iteration of the Buffs would win 6-3, but I think that question deserves some fleshing out.
Already you can see where this is headed, as I've invoked the seminal year of the Hawk error when discussing the current on-field horror.* I'm not doing this to be mean.* It just struck me, however, that after considering the question that I was looking back fondly on the 2006 season.* Such is the depths that this turd of a season has flung me into.*
The two squads are already kind of similar. Both lost to CSU and an below-average 1-AA school in consecutive weeks; each notched their first win against a Mike Leach lead team, causing the Dread Pirate to bemoan the effort of his players.* One thing '06 has, so far, over the current CU vintage: a second win.* Whether the 2012 Buffs can reach that mark is yet to be seen.* I, at least, think it would be an interesting game, and one that's fun to think about.
Accordingly, I'm going to give the scenario the full preview treatment, from stat breakdown to prediction. After giving it a moments thought, my conclusion might surprise you.
