And while I am thinking about it....dply. If EVER there was a year where the RMS game amounted to a 1 game season for Buffs' fans rather than Rams' Fans...this is certainly the year. Dan Hawkins came to CU with as much hype and promise as you could possibly have. Now he is literally 1 game-1 CSU loss away from having his fate completely sealed. If Hawkins loses this game there is no recovery and there is no "get out jail free" card. It is over. This 2010 RMS is the biggest game of Hawkins' CU career because of what is at stake. In the grand scheme of things it is actually stunning to think that it has gotten to that point.

yep
i agree. however his fate would rest on beating any nonbcs team that went 3-9 the year before.

I agree to a point. Although I think if he were to lose to say Hawaii in the opener and still be able to go out and beat CSU a couple of top tier Big 12 teams to make a bowl, he might be able to survive. However, lose to CSU, in Week 1 and I think the bottom would absolutely fall out - even if he were somehow able to recover and make a bowl game. CU fans may understate the RMS' importance, but they absolutely HATE to lose that game.

I didn't say Csquared is an ass or anything. I don't know the guy but admire his unflagging devotion to the team he supports.
What I said was he regularly comes over here and ends up fighting battles by his lonesome. It's sort of the Internet version of a dogpile AND HE JUST KEEPS COMING BACK!
He'll argue a point until the sun comes up, wait a week, then come back and argue it again. Do any of his buddies ever join in? No. The guy is on a mission.
I rarely, if ever venture over to the Ewe site. You are correct there is a lot of hatred from CU fans. Having lived there for 5 years I put up with a ton of it. I enjoyed it though. Before I ever moved to Fort Collins, I actually rooted for them, except against CU. But once I dealt with the CU Rage they all seemed to have I quickly turned on them, and enjoyed watching them lose. Outside of work I usually always wear a hat, and I wasn't often caught without either a CU or Wyoming hat on to stir the pot in the fort.
I would have to say that my best anti-ewe showing in the Fort was at Old Chicago's during their 05' or 06' bowl game against Navy. I made it a point that I was not necessarily rooting for Navy, but against CSU. At this paticular Old C's they had a button behind the bar the bartender would push that would "honk" some car horns, when (in this case IF) CSU would score. After Navy had a pretty sizable lead, and the bar seemed pretty depressed, I thought I would take this opportunity to put a knife in their heart. The Midshipmen score again, and I stroll behind the bar. The bartender attempted to stop me and ask, "what are you doing?"
I simply reply, "It's cool", and continue behind the bar, find the button for the horns, and lay into it. I was severely booed, with a few chuckles from some, and asked to leave the bar from the owner.
Got a little off track there. Anyhoo, I agree that CSU seems to have a hard on for CU, and they probably put more energy into that stepbrother rage than they do supporting their own team.
The reason I went over there was to see what to look out for with their team. All the threads were about CU, the pac-10 and BYU.

Beefarino... calling me a pussy because I wont come over to your side to discuss football.. Well, Im here. Shall we discuss Hawkins contract extension?.... your loss to CSU and Toledo(they put up 50 on you ya know) last year, Your internet tough guy persona, or the fact that CSU and CU are on even ground now in recruiting and it kills you?
No more name calling, i am no pussy, i am here... lets shoot the ****

The calvary arrives...
So, tell us what you think about our move to the Pac 10.

Do you go to all the CSU games, or just the CU one?

honestly.. no CSU fan would say they wouldnt want to be in the PAC10. I wish CSU would have had the luck 10 years ago that Utah had this year with the invitation. I love watching PAC10 FB, good high scoring games(which Im not flaming here, but CU will have a very hard time keeping up with)
The Big XII has been much higher scoring the past four years.

well.. most of the B12(minus CU and Iowa St)
I'm gonna tell you something son, and I want you to listen - What happened at Utah wasn't luck. If CSU gets their act together, they can be in that same situation, but they need to start working on it. I'm talking about filling that stadium of yours for every game. I'm talking about dominating your conference. I'm talking about making a serious commitment to athletics and sticking to it. Look at what Utah did, and copy their playbook. 20 years ago, there wasn't a razor hair difference between CSU and Utah. Now Utah is going to the Pac 12. The Pac will look to expand again. Of that I have very little doubt. When they do, CSU needs to be in a position where they can be considered. Once that happens, the RMS will become a big time game.
Better not ever happen. My little bro (2004 CU grad) emailed me yesterday and said he's going to become a Cornholer fan if they extend Hawkins. I might, too.
Both were embarassing as hell and are a large part of the reason I want Hawkins gone. He does not dominate inferior teams like he should. Hell, he loses to them half the time.
What you see is what you get with me. It's no persona, just who I am. I'm a **** stirrer.
Not for long. Pac 10 move and a new coach will solve that problem.
Allbuffs is all about name calling. But feel free to reciprocate. :lol:And we have emoticons, too.:thumbsup:
State, how do you feel about your team's new jerseys with the shoulder pubes?

congrats csu is on the same recruiting level as CU. Not really one to brag about there as the buffs are bottom of the Big 12

I agree fully. CSU fans in denver need to get their sand outta their vaginas and make it up to some games. when Hughes is packed its awesome(see Minn a few years ago), and when its dead, its sad(see byu 3 years ago). If we can keep the recruiting going(which is a big IF, but I hope so) then I think we can make it up into the top 3 or 4 in the MWC.
Case in pt... we have close to 10 freshman fighting for playing time sue to the crappy recruiting from 2005-2008... when you have true freshman beating out 5th yr srs at some points, its a big deal. I fully expect CSU to be a decent team this year, pretty good next year, and very good in 3 years.

only at one position
You need to be better than the top 3 or 4. You need to be the best. Bar none, nobody else even close.
