As a Buff season ticket holder, I can't believe how far this program has fallen. I wonder how long before we are kicked out of the Big 12?
Great Post!
I agree. Anthem is really setting the bar high. Where's Jimmy?

Fandom had erroded into consumerism. The one-time fan has been reduced to a mere shopper. The protest comes in the form of cash and attendance.

One of the aspects of 2009's disappointing season is how the four years of losing seasons is converting long term fans into disinterested passionless consumers of an inferior football product.
There is a difference between being a fan and a consumer. Fandom is an irrational bond with a program that materializes in the form of doing stupid stuff without asking "why am I doing this?" Paint your car? Hell yeah! Build a custom BBQ for the tailgate and obsess over the cooking process? That's what I'm talking about. Gameday is a sacred ritual. Buff fans put on the BnG and do our thing.
Nowadays, 5 out of 12 games aren't even on Saturday. On these idle Saturdays, Buff fans got to sit on the sofa and follow top 25 teams playing in the money timeslots. Road game = automatic loss. Who wants to burn a grand or more and a few days off work to come home a loser?

If CU can't turn Folsom on a perfect autumn afternoon into a glorious celebration of frienship and pagentry punctuated by beer and cheering on the home team, then screw it.
When the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor, did our grand fathers say screw it? Hell no.
CU gets knocked down. It'll get up again. No one's going to keep it down. No administator or coach or disinterested consumer is capable of killing the program. It's not the size of the dog in this fight; It's the size of the fight in the dog.
CU knows no defeat. Shoulder to shoulder we will fight, fight, fight, fight, fight!

Just look at recruiting. The offers of the recruits we have verbals from is less than impressive. I'd bet we only have a few legit BCS caliber players in this class. This mess is going to take years to clean up. What is the most frustrating to me is that there has not been any sign of a staff upgrade what-so-ever. That is just beyond belief to me. How can anyone be expected to take this program serious?
