Yep. It's one of the many reasons why this game blows for us and should be eliminated from the schedule. All CSU really cares about is winning this game. A successful season beyond is just gravy for them.

Ain't that the truth.
There are a lot of areas where this football team had to strive to achieve competence before it could even think about developing that area as a strength. Punt return has been a particular issue ever since Hawkins decided to run off J-Fly and install Espinoza as a PR1.
In '11 we had the fair catch a punt on the 4 yard line team. Brutal.
J-Fly was ineffective after a game, believe it was UT, where he caught a punt in the endzone, near the goal line and proceeded to just stand there. He then in turn got annihilated by a gunner and once he peeled himself off the turf was trying to get a flag, even though his dumb ass never fair caught it, or took a knee.
It was kstate. He was looking up at the ball and was hit at the knees.
Hmm I think you and I are thinking of different games. He got hit hard a lot.
The one I am thinking of he caught it near the goal line took a step forward while staying in the endzone and just stood there.
Ya - just get the W, don't need style points.
that was texas and it was on a kickoff. lore says that a horns fan blew a whistle from the stands and jfly got rocked thinking the play was dead.
Most recently?
That **** can happen any game. It is the nature of the matchup.
That game was so fricen horrible. That was supposed to begin our comeback after Hawk had gone to a bowl against Bama and had a great recruiting class. That CSU team had a great OLine however.
Would make sense I suppose, still should have taken a knee regardless.
That was the same game Colt McCoy was whining about someone in the stands having a laser pointer and shining it in his face.
You're right - but still, that was supposed to be THE year. 10 wins right?
Wasn't that also the QB sneak on 1st down team?
Damn there has been so much suck around here the past 8years...

QB sneak on first down was an Embree creation IIRC
Right which would have been 2011.
Likely right. The 2012 team was the 1 and only team in the history of Folsom Field to not win a home game in a season.
Now you're thinking of Okie State in 2008. Zac Robinson/laser pointer game.
One of those damn orange and white games.
I have a hard time remembering teams from the Big XII but I do remember being on the field with those teams and what always stuck was how much larger they were then CU was. Especially UT and OU.

2012, but i misread and thought you guys were talking about the 10 wins no excuses year.
We've had it rough. Fielding punts on the 4, QB sneaks on first down, promises of 10 wins only to get steamrolled by CSU in the opening game on our own field.
I remember that play vividly. I was sitting in the stadium and could not understand what had just happened. It was the first time I just started laughing at the ineptitude of CU football.
Edit: Added the hilarious SBNation article link with the gifs.

Or he is a better guard than tackle? Why is that disappointing? Some players fit and understand different positions better than others.

The way I see it, there is an opportunity here to compose a starting line of our 5 best linemen. For a brand new transfer learning the system the spot at RG will play to his strengths without exposing his greenness like LT would.
That was the season sbnation ran an article with quotes from AllBuffs during the Fresno St loss.
I wish I could forget DII and his "player groupings" formations. Sitting in the stands the first game and on a 2nd & 7 the entire CU offense looks like a bunch of 16 year olds at a stop sign running a Chinese fire drill. Mass confusion, 30 seconds and a flag later it was 2nd & 12. Things got worse from there. I wish I could throat punch DII.
Isn't the "player groupings" what earned him the "Juicebox" and "Orange Slice" nicknames. :lol:
