Thats all the sports talk geeks want to talk about. I listened to Clough and Evans this morning. Evans, trying to be the contrarian, picks the rams based on "recent history." While Sandy picks CU, he says it'll be close because of "recent history." They had B.G. Brooks on. He said his brain tells him it'll be a blow out but thinks it'll be close because of "recent history."
Well, they are correct that since '99 things have not gone well for CU. We have lost 4 of 9 and the rest have been close. But why did that come to pass. First, we lost in three of GB's first four years in taking over after Neuheisel had uncerimoniously stabbed the program in the back, leaving it devistated. This at a time when Lubick had his program rolling.
Then "The Scandal." The Scandal set this program back for several of the next years. Yet even through that, we only lost once, though all the games have been close. But if you look at the 10 years prior to '99, we went 7-0 and won by an average of 39 - 20. That domination is getting ready to return!
