Mr. Hankey looks like he's been hanging out with Towelie.
Lemmiwinks is on his way to save the day
CU made at least 1 good PR move by delaying until May. I didn't realize that April is "Sexual Assault Awareness Month". http://www.colorado.edu/today/2017/04/13/sexual-assault-awareness-month-supporting-survivors

yes. and also as i posted way back.....CU always puts PR stuff out *after* school ends. and Boulderites are all fat and happy to have the pesky students gone.....not paying attention so much.
good example: a decade ago the Grandview houses were a celebrity cause around Boulder....and CU waited it out....announced they were razing a few of them. did it.....middle of May. no real public outcry whatsoever....while the issue had been "hotting up" all Spring with local Boulder preservation people. CU threw the card right under the door....and Boulderites were all at happy hour on the Mall.

Is there any indication at all on how long we are going to have to wait? This is ridiculous. I hope all Buffs fans have called the University and made it clear they are frustrated and if the witch hunt doesn't stop, CU can forget donations from them as well.
All I know is I am not buying season tickets until this is resolved.
Did you write them and let them know that?
Resolved as in just finished or resolved as finished in how you want it finished? Will you buy season tickets if George and MacIntyre are burned at the stake?
They sell tickets for stake burnings now?
For an entire season.
That is a great point. No, I have not. This was my first "public" decree about my thoughts on the whole thing.
Well, so much for multiquote...
Anyway, I don't see how you can possibly hold the HC and the AD further accountable when they did what any reasonable employer would want them to do: in turn, they each went to their boss and said "Hey, I've been made aware of this really screwed up situation that colors outside the lines. I need your help handling it correctly."
While I am glad CU is no Baylor, you also can't let the PC above everything else crowd win just because of their moral outrage. If CU terminates either MM or RG over this, it demonstrates CU values political correctness over doing your job how any normal person would evaluate their actions at a professional level. If they are willing to subject the AD as a whole to that standard, then there is no point in my efforts to financially support the AD while it is so easily cast aside by its own university.

Even if it's the right to do?
Everything (for me at least) is based on what we know today. Phil's public apology makes it very clear it was brought to his attention, and when given the chance to reflect on it, he felt like he handled it improperly. All of this happened in less than six weeks.
Unless something new comes out, I feel very comfortable in my belief that MM and RG handled this as well as they could while taking the advice of their boss(es).
Just fix whatever was not handled well and keep it moving. Make the process of this kind of situation very specific and get everybody on the same page.
We're frustrated because we are very engaged football fans. But we are a large minority. 99% of folks in Colorado and elsewhere are either unaware of this issue or don't pay much attention. Now, if some blockbuster decision comes out that may change. But, for now, I think we, on this board, are probably the only ones who give this issue much attention.
To me, that only would become a problem if this continues to linger or if the outcome is negative.
This. I am tired of waiting for CU to pull its collective thumbs out. If they hamstring FB over this, I will have reached my limit.
DBT, go back and check the comments on how folks find recruiting has started off this year vs. last. We should be killing it right now and we are not. This isn't the only reason, but it is hard to believe it isn't part of the reason.
Now, that isn't to say the university isn't smart to do the appropriate level of due diligence. I wouldn't want CU sweeping truly bad actions under the rug - that makes us no better than ****bailor and Pedo State. I do believe that if those truly bad actions existed, they would have already been found and dealt with accordingly.
Can we all agree that **** Joe Tumpkin? Like seriously, **** that guy.

Yes, but just because he is a douche doesn't mean anyone at CU did anything wrong. For the 100th time, accusations don't prove guilt. Once charges were filed we fired him. Period. If they get rid of Mac or RG, I say goodbye to CU football forever. And that will be tough to do, love my Buffs.
So, for those of you who are gurus on the topic, is CU significantly behind in recruiting at this point? 5 recruits? Is that a low number for CU and its peers roughly 10 months before signing day?
Compared to last year, yes. Compared to most P5 programs, no. If you want to be in on the higher caliber players, it's about normal.
Thanks.
