Buff Nation –
Every year, immediately following the NCAA Men’s Basketball championship game, just as the credits begin to roll, a montage of tournament highlights are played to the snappy tune of One Shining Moment. Instantly the viewer can see why college basketball is so fun, and why these players have dedicated so much time to their craft.
On a perfect Fall day in a sold-out Folsom field, somewhere mid-way through the third quarter the Buffs hit on their own shining moment. Desperately hanging on to a 6-0 lead over the oh so lowly Arizona Wildcats, the Buffs exploded for three straight touchdowns (on Special teams, defense and offense). For that one shining moment the buffs looked legit. They looked happy. They made Buff Nation happy.
So, where do we go from here? Well, according to the Boss (and we know the Boss is always right), you can’t start a fire without a spark. Here is to CU parlaying their dominating win and their shining moment, into a spark that leads to beating a beatable California Bears team on the road tomorrow, and creating a fire we can all warm up to. If that does not happen, well, perhaps it is another season of dancing in the dark.
Go Buffs!
