Boulder, Colorado- At his press conference today Colorado football coach John Embree announced that this Saturday’s game against perennial PAC-12 powerhouse Washington State would be a “brick game.” This tradition, originally started by legendary CU coach Bill McCartney, entails paintings bricks in the Dal Ward Center with the date and game score after big wins (although in reality they’re cinder blocks, not bricks, and instead of painting them they just glue a laminated sheet of paper onto them).
Embree explained his decision by saying, “if we win this game it will be my first win as a head coach against a team from the state of Washington so that’s a pretty big deal.” Asked if that meant that a win this saturday would mean that their October 15th game at Washington wouldn’t be a brick game Embree grew angry. “Hell no,” he replied, “Beating UW would be the first win for this program against a team who’s primary color is purple since we beat Kansas State at the end of last year, and that’s a pretty long time to go without beating one of those purple teams so we’ll definitely put a brick if we get that one.”
Every game so far this season has been a brick game and the team has already captured three bricks; one for their victory against the treacherous CSU rams and two new ones that the team just earned this week. Embree said that they had a team scrimmage on Monday and because the buffs won they got another brick. The particular brick chosen to commemorate that win is the brick right next to the one commemorating CU’s 1990 National Championship victory. The team also got a brick when an unnamed player playing as Colorado defeated Ohio State in ES Sports NCAA Football 2012 on X-Box. “I was so proud of that,” Embree said, “To beat a great program like that and do so on the road, it was just awesome. I told the team that it wasn’t going to be easy, OSU was much more talented then we were plus one of the buttons on the controller was broken and the TV had poor quality but hey, we persevered. We played smart, tough football. Watching CU play on TV last year I saw a team hoping to win, whereas on this TV today I saw a team that expected to win.” The brick for this game will be right above the one celebrating the Buffs 62-36 victory over #1 Nebraska in 2001.
