I think it's the persona that he has created on Gameday. The other two are homers through and through. He has set himself up as the straight laced go between.

That's because if it SEEMED like there was, he would make a lot less money.
Are you willing to jeopardize your job so that everybody can see what a big fan you are?
:stupid: good post. i like fowler. a lot. i think he does a fantastic job. we all like to bitch and moan how partisan or in the tank some reporters are for some teams (think holtz and notre dumb) and hope for some objectivity from them. we have threads about this. yet, when one of CU's own does exactly what we want from other talking heads some want to throw him under the bus? no thank you.
the guy has a job to do. he is more of a moderator in his position on gameday. over the years, he has thrown CU more than a few bones. i know he picked Klatt one week as a break out player (or something like that) for the weekend. corso and kirk were laughing at him while he said it. and Klatt did just that. he made CU his upset pick and CU did just that (cant remember the year or team).
you have to understand that his job is to be objective. he does it and does it well. you wanna be pissed at a CU alum in the media? go for rick reilly. he is a total ****ing sellout.
Just searched the internet for some cool Buff pics and found this one. No one was using it so I thought I'd use it for a while.
Like your avatar BTW. :thumbsup:
I let everyone in my know how much of a fan I am. There is no doubt I "represent" to the point where I push the limits of a proper dress code. Most often done in subtle ways by I show the school colors.
Fowler could be a little more of homer and get away with it since tweedle dum and tweedle dumberer certainly play the part. I seriously doubt his job would be at risk.
Personnally I'm a fan of the pic of your wife in her buff shorts. :wink2:

I totally agree with those that have stated that Fowler is a true buff, and does a great job in his position. In fact, he is probably the best college football analyst in the country and his objectivity is a part of that. As great as it would be, it's not his job to show favoritism just so we can have our proud moment watching the show.
Another angle that could be taken on this is that he took this as his only opportunity to let the country know that the buffs were playing their in-state rival tommorrow as we aren't getting pub for it anywhere else.

Good point. I think he's got our back but he's very careful to do it in a way that won't look like he's a homer.
Thanx. Thought I'd give that one a break. I'll bring her back in another pic later. :wink2:
Right now, I figured the Stampede pic represents how our Buffs need to start the season. :asskicking:
Look, I think Fowler use to mention the Buffs more in the past, certainly in the 90s, but in the last few years (could simply be because we need a resurgence) he let's those two peckerheads talk smack. He could defend us more as a MODERATOR and not seem as biased as those other 2.

Yea, Fowler's role is more of the "reporter", the other 2 are like "columnists". And I think he does an excellent job of it. I like the fact that he's not a homer.
You got that right! It's football time! Bring on the stampede!!
There will be plenty of time later to admire beautiful women (in a respectful way since they may be married to posters here) :lol:

You mean you didn't do the stampede logo? I though you did all sports logos! LOL

I agree. It's really tough to find images featuring "carniverous bison". I swear to God that thing eats meat!

Back to the topic at hand, CU Buffs behind the news/sports desk...
I noticed that Kevin Corke is holding down the desk at NBC as this weekend's news anchor. For those of you who didn't know him in school, Kevin is a true Buff fan who would never throw his school under the bus.
If you look at his history of assignments (Bush Whitehouse correspondant, weekend anchor) I suspect that he is upwardly mobile within the NBC News organization. Go Buffs!
