Colorado has lost at least 13 scholarship players to injury/suspension/leaving the team for the entire year...that is half of an entire class!! Not to mention the enormous number of other injuries and and suspensions that this team is dealing with. Colorado is literally playing its schedule with FCS scholarship numbers! This is NOT normal, and NOT something that all teams deal with!
To go along with this, Colorado has the 3rd YOUNGEST team in FBS!! Again, this is NOT normal, and NOT something that all teams are dealing with. Oh and they are playing a murderous schedule. And don't even get me started on the o-line. Yet people around here expect perfection. I've got news for you, if you think these factors don't matter, then you are simply irrational or willfully ignorant. Simply put, Colorado is facing the perfect storm.
Do I hate losing like the rest of you? You bet your ****ing ass I do!!! I know you are frustrated and getting impatient. But I also realize the margin between winning and losing is now razor thin, and Colorado has been hamstrung by that razor.
Look, I don't know what the future holds. I do think Hawk has us on the right track. I do think Cody can lead our team. I do think we have a good coaching staff. I will hold them accountable, but right now I think the most important thing to do is show our support, because this season isn't over, and these kids are playing their hearts out. Ok I will get off of my soapbox now. Go Buffs!
