I've stayed out of this for the most part but I take exception to your post. When I watched games like Stanford and Oregon last year, I accepted that we would get our asses handed to us because we simply didn't have the athletes to hang with them. This, however, is a completely different story. CSU and Sac St are not good teams. They're not even mediocre teams. They are not on par with the Montana St team that beat Hawk. This is not about parity. CSU got beat by North Dakota St. Sac St got obliterated by NMSU.
I'm not asking for a top 25 team. I'd even accept a losing season this year as long as I felt that the program was going in the right direction. This is not the right direction and there is no way you can spin it.
Let go of your anger, my friend. It's not good for your heart. Seriously, think of your children.
Guys, be kind to flyer. It obviously takes longer for him to recognize the fact that we are being led by a group of incompetents. Maybe when we go 0-12, it'll sink in. We all reach this conclusion in our own time. I can't for the life of me figure out how there can be any doubt after the last two games, but hey, like I said - it takes some folks longer to figure these things out.

too stupid to know you're stupid...which means YOU
Why is it incumbent upon the fans and alums to create a donor culture at CU? To me, this points to decades of systemic mismanagement by the CU administration. When they reach out to young alums and small donors in a meaningful way, when they start doing a better job of indoctrinating incoming students on CU sports traditions, when they lay out a clear vision and goals for fans to rally behind... then I'll accept that there's something in the water in Boulder and Denver that creates bad fans. But not until then.
Flyer, while you're here. Can you take a break from the vitriol and explain how the moment a decent product hits the court CU fans have turned the CEC into the best home-court in the Pac12 in 1 year?
Just curious. Would love a response, in all seriousness. Take it easy on the heart though.

What's the cutoff for the "me generation"? Wasn't that the label on the Baby Boomers? I'm very confused now as to who flyer was targeting. Do you have to be at least 67 to be a good Buffs fan?
You dont deserve to be a moderator since you're too stupid to know that simple fact, seriously of all the people on this board ........YOUYOUYOU
That's what I'm thinking.
His argument is like telling me that after I tried to support American workers by buying a car made here by a US company... despite my knowing it was of lesser quality and didn't have all the features I want... that I have no right to complain and, in fact, the problems with the car are my fault for not paying above sticker or buying two cars... that if I don't shut my trap and run out to the dealership to buy that 2nd car it's my fault, not the company's management, if the company continues to fail.

very easy to explain, CU fans are incredibly fickle and wouldn't sellout Coors until there was a winner in place, kinda like Folsom, completely empty at kickoff today....errrr the student section at least. "Hey did you here the Buffs are actually kinda good, lets go to the games" if Embree gets as much time as his freshman, AND he finds assistants that can coach well enough to win, Folsom will pull just like Coors, I'm just saying the great teams have fanbases that are there win or lose, or we are rarely there even when we are consistently winning, yeah I'm old and I remember those days. still didn't sellout then

In general, in sports those teams with the most demanding fan bases are the most successful. They don't have a choice, they must put out a good product, or their fans won't support them, and will fill up the radio phone lines bashing the organizations. In baseball it's the Yankees and Redsox, in college football it's the SEC, in the NBA it's the Lakers. If the CU fans are guilty of anything, it's of being too accepting of this garbage for the past 7 years.
Dave, I'll be wearing blue to the remainder of the games this year. That's ONE. Don't bother to count the rest. Just tell people that one asshole was wearing blue. Powder blue.
Which assistants need to change?

No I'm pretty much saying don't be a belligerent freshman threatening every visitor, don't have a heart attack when when an opposing team plays better and wins and don't fire the coach when the O-line plays like sheeeet and the brand new qb can't connect. Your thinking is flawed
I'd do the same thing if I were him. I'd do it in person, too.

Whose fault is that?
If you were connected to the program at all you would understand that students have great difficulty getting into the stadium due to excessive Argus security. Even an unaffiliated passerby walking by the stadium could register this point and the corresponding late influx of students. Illustrates that you aren't especially close to the program.
Also, CU basketball hasn't exactly been a 'winner' in the past 2 years, as you claim. They got incredibly lucky with great coaching, but finished 6th in the pac12 last year and 5th in the big12 at 8-8 in 2011.
Again your arguments hold no water. Feel free to respond.

Thats the biggest crock of **** ever, Yankees have the most money that the OWNERS are willing to spend, by far the worst fanbase in the league, Redsox have won once in 200,000 years, the SEC has the best recruiting base outside of California, the Lakers have the smartest ownership in the league.....YOU
Yes. Fans are fickle. Especially in the north Atlantic and the western US. That's the nature of the beast at CU. It is what it is.
The question therefore becomes what the people in charge at CU are going to do given that market dynamic. For the most part, CU has always had leadership that accepted it and didn't bother to try to build a donor culture or grow the fan base. We've basically seen apathy and neglect. The very fans you're directing your anger toward are the one saying that CU doesn't take its football seriously enough, we want them to, and we care enough to be talking about it at 10pm on a Sunday night after most sensible people would have just tuned out until either basketball season or next year's opener. You can't care as much as the people here do and expect them to patiently accept abysmal performances as they patiently wait for it to somehow work out and better days to be ahead.

YOURS, for saying Embree is at fault for that
