CheeseHusker Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Maybe they should declare Oregon a "rival". 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Colorado is complete and utter garbage...basically no change from where they previously were except for a few season here and there. Quote Link to comment
CheeseHusker Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Here they come! Score here and it's only a seven posession game. Quote Link to comment
Flood Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I would feel sorry for the Buffs . . . Except, I recall all my friends cars, defaced and vandalized, in the 90's, over a stupid "rivalry" that no Husker fan cared about. I am enjoying their continuing non-existence in a fashion I never thought possible, during those years. It will only be better if their "relevance" continues at this level for the next 10-20 years.

CheeseHusker Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Now that I've lived in Denver a few years, I've seen just how little attention they get turns to basically none at all if they aren't any good. They get about 30 seconds on the local news and that's it. They like to take credit for bringing down the Big Red monster.... I like to think this is their punishment. Oblivion. Quote Link to comment

mwj98 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I agree with all the posts.....I have friends who are CU fans and for YEARS.....all they talked about was the Nebraska rivalry. We could have cared less. This was something McCartney conjured up and ran with it. They need to get rid of this program. They are horrible. And yes....I enjoy watching them get their butt whipped.

RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Time to drop the football program and start a curling program! Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Another stellar performance by the Fluffaloes, losing to Stanford 48-0. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'm so pissed we are missing out on all the fun that is playing Colorado! Quote Link to comment
SoCal Husker Terry Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 So, I am like most on this board, I am laughing like crazy at Colorado, but it really does make me wonder...what in the world is wrong with that program? They have had some good teams in the past, but have sank so low it is unbelievable. I saw the Huskers sink under Clownahan, and watched the Bruins out here in So Cal sink down under skippy, but none of them fell as far as Colorado. Really though, although I am not sad to see the Buffs getting stomped, I am wondering, how in the world did they drop this far, and where do they go from here? Man, they suck! Quote Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The school as a whole simply doesn't care. And the thing is, a ton of the students don't care at all if they even have a football team. CU as an institution is a different animal from most schools. A very different culture up there.

knapplc Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 It's been a while since I looked at Colorado's stats. For a lark, I decided to check them out. Folks, don't click this unless you have a strong stomach. This is kinda gory. Children should not look at these national rankings. Category - Nat. Rank (Conf. Rank) Rushing Offense - 112 ( 11 ) Passing Efficiency - 115 ( 12 ) Total Offense - 116 ( 12 ) Scoring Offense - 119 ( 12 ) Average: 115.5 ( 11.8 ) Category - Nat. Rank (Conf. Rank) Rushing Defense - 101 ( 12 ) Pass Efficiency Defense - 120 ( 12 ) Total Defense - 115 ( 11 ) Scoring Defense - 120 ( 12 ) Average: 114.0 ( 11.8 ) They are either dead last or second-to-last in every major statistical category in their conference. And in national rankings, they're dead last in 25% of the stats, and no better than 101st in anything. I kinda want to say something like, "My, how the mighty have fallen," but the Buffs haven't been mighty in a mighty long time. Mind you, the season isn't over. This is through nine games, and hey - they've actually beaten somebody! They beat the randy Pirate himself, Mike Leach, in only his fourth game at the helm of Washington State. Washington State has a better record than the Buffs, however: 2-7 for the Leachsters vs. 1-8 for the Fightin' Buffs. Jeff Sagarin says CU has played the #12 SOS in the nation - but remember that, due to Colorado's three-game non-conference schedule, the Pac-12 tends to have a bias in Sagarin's SOS rankings.

RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Shockingly awesome! Quick question. Have we lost a recruiting battle to these guys for anyone recently? Mods should merge this thread with the other Colorado thread. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 They are also broke, so any quick fix is unlikely............... They could be starring at Penn St - like bottom status for a loooooong time. Quote Link to comment
