The Totally Superfluous Sleeping Giant Thread

I don't start too many new threads. Especially when there are so many different threads on a similar topic.

But I'm struck by our reaction as fans to this coaching hire, and what it reveals about us as as a fanbase.

1. We're a bunch of knuckleheads hanging devotedly on this fansite for a decade-and-a-half that overlaps with a period of unprecedented bad football and the absence of hope.

2. Doners apparently stepped up and demanded a splash hire.

3. I was struck during Prime's tour how underutilized our amazing facilities feel in our brand.

4. I was putting down a deposit for season tickets at midnight in December, just hoping that - after my first season without season tickets in nearly a decade - I could get some.

5. As an 0-5 team, we filled up our stadium and rushed the field following our lone victory of the season.

6. Beautiful campus, beautiful town. A place that our Buffs - wherever they roam - want to come back and be.

The facilities are there, the resources are there, the support is there and there's a distant tradition that has been buried in an extended period of futility.

So much energy and excitement is being unearthed. I knew that we were sleeping giants, but I don't think I fully appreciated the size of the giant nor the depth of the coma.

Doners = Donors with Boners?
 
Yes. The plurality of the board has been saying this for awhile. The fanbase has supported the dog **** product that has been cu football 20 years. We supported a loser so needless to say we will support a winner

No human is nice all the time. After 20+ years of being forced to be nice because we suck so bad, there is a lot of pent up desire to be assholes, and certain people even paid a LOT of money for this honor.

All I'm going to say- be an asshole on the internet all you want but in irl, be a gracious winner and respectable loser

Thanks Dad
 
I’m sure this will be posted elsewhere, but I love listening to the hope in Chris’ voice. He and Klatt were very vocal last night about their support of this hire. Interesting that Chris says that he regrets, a bit, past work regarding coaching hires. Sounds like he thinks he needs to stay out of that. But clearly he is excited about the possibilities in Boulder.
