Quick Post: 2018 - Hate is Coming

Imagine where you'll be in five years...

Tom Osbourn will be dead... CSU will have finally gone full-time online, selling off their dump of a campus for quick cash to pay off debt incurred by their failure of a new stadium... Tad Boyle will have just won his second national title in three years... This kid will have weeping children of his own...

The world sits in peace. 

Suddenly, a rumble from the West perks up for the first time in nearly a decade.  Long forgotten after years of silence, it pours eastward through the plains, blanketing desolate, water-starved fields as it goes. 

Hate has returned.

Prepare yourselves accordingly.

Coach MikeMac, all kidding aside, I don't care if you're still here in five years.  Run off to the SEC as soon as you can, wouldn't bother me in the slightest.  The only thing I ask... nope, not ask... FUCKING REQUIRE, yes, the one thing that I fucking require is that you help get this program into a position to win in five years.

No excuses, get it done.

Fuck Nebraska.

Remembering 2001

This weekend CU will rightly honor the 2001 Big XII Championship squad.  I talked about 62-36 last season, but this gives me the opportunity to discuss the season as a whole.
The champs are coming back to Boulder.  From: CUBuffs.com
I can't help but note the timing, on the day of CU's first "unofficial" game in the Pac-12, Colorado will honor a championship team from the conference it just left behind in a trail of dollar bills.  It is what it is, and I'm more than happy to take a look back at this storied team.

I experienced the 2001 Big XII title run from my home in Chicago.  As a high school senior, I was finalizing my college decision as CU began to roll through the league.  I saw all the fun to be had in Boulder, and decided in late-October that I wanted to be a part of it (that, and I got my rejection letter from Michigan).

Looking back I can't help but feel a little jealous, a little cheated that I wasn't apart of the greatest Buffs season in recent memory.  Born one year too late, I'll just have to live with memories created from afar of Chris Brown, Danny Graham, a dominating O-Line, and a battle tested defense.
