Buff Nation –
One doesn’t have to be a theologian to be familiar with the Ten Commandments, and unless you are a sociopath, most of the commandments are quite reasonable. “Thou shall not kill” (Duh). “Thou shall honor thy parents “(For sure). “Thou shall not steal” (Fine. Wait, does office paper count?).
Yet, given our Colorado Buffaloes are taking on the #8 Oregon Ducks tomorrow at Folsom Field, and the fact that Oregon has been the golden child of the Pac-12 for years, I feel the last of the commandments, “Thou Shall Not Covet…” should be an exception. Buff Nation needs the space and grace to covet the Oregon football program (even for a day). Buff Nation should desire, demand, want, covet a top ten ranked football program, and educate themselves on what that looks like, what that means, and what that takes. Tomorrow, the Ducks will show all of us what one looks like, and we should take notes.
So tomorrow, let’s look to keep most of the commandants (low bar), and covet to our hearts desire, unless of course the Buffs beat the Ducks. In that case, I’ll see you on the field.
Go Buffs!
