Buff Nation –
Two thirds of the way through this 2022 CU Football season, all our questions have been answered. Perhaps not the answers we want, but we indeed know who we are and who we are not. A poor coaching hire and the loss of over twenty players to the transfer portal have left its mark. Coming into the season we all had our suspicions, but we gave the benefit of the doubt to the words our coaching staff were saying. The idea of seeing “seeing a different product” from what we were used to, was a welcomed and easy message to accept. We now know that was wishful thinking at best and vaporware at worst.
While the bloom of the fantastic OT win over Cal a couple of weeks ago has been washed away with yet another blow-out loss last week to drop CU to a lowly 1-6 on the season, there is STILL hope. This Saturday evening our (still) beloved CU Buffs will take on the Arizona State Sun Devils under the lights of Folsom field.
With the hardest part of the schedule still to come, ASU represents the best chance for one more victory. Tomorrow night at Folsom field, the Buffs will make a stand against all that has gone wrong this season, and will fight for four quarters (and OT if necessary) to come away with their second victory in three weeks. I like our interim Coach Sanford. He brings energy, hope and enthusiasm which I believe the players will parlay with the aid of a (near) sold out frenzied homecoming crowd, into a high energy, low scoring, down to the wire Buffs victory.
Go Buffs!
