Colorado must die

Colorado must die.
Tomorrow.
For a lot of reasons.

When I was humping a backpack across the 40 acres, studying in the dark depths of the PCL, and dodging the cause-heads in the West Mall, Colorado was a big game on our schedule. I was there when Rashaan Salaam ran for 362 on Gary _arnell's 'read and react' defense in Austin. We still only lost that game by 3. There were close games but the Buffs always had just a little bit more back in those days and we could never get past them. We went winless against CU during my years at Texas.

I'd go skiing at Keystone or Telluride or Arapho during those years with something Longhorn on my person and get smack from locals with their CU beanie hats. I hated CU and their Johnny-come-lately fans the entire time I was at Texas.

We have won 7 of the last 8 against them and between that and the 70-3 annihilation with Vince you'd think that'd be enough to atone for the misery of my undergrad years. It probably would be except for the 2001 Big 12 CCG. We should have won that game. We were the better team. It lit a log on the CU hate fire that is still smoldering 5 straight wins against them and almost two decades later.

For me, we can't ever beat Colorado enough.
I mean we probably can and I'll tell you when but so far it's not enough.
Colorado must die.
Tomorrow.

 

Up until this year I'd been to Boulder three straight summers for Dead & Company shows. Deadheads usually don't give a flip about football, except there. Walking in Folsum Field with a Longhorn cap will get a lot of crap thrown your way. Most of them won't even acknowledge that 70-3 ever happened.

Let the beatdowns continue...

 

I agree. For only the second time this year (OU was the first), I really want Texas to win. I watched the 96 game against them in person, seeing Texas play a good game, only to flush the game away via a dropped (Mike Adams?) would have been TD pass. Had a good time in Boulder (no batteries thrown at me), but still always disliked Colorado.

Was made up by the 2005 B12 title game which I attended - as much of a man (Vince) vs. boys contest as I've seen in college ball.

The fact now that they are a Pac team only adds to my dislike.

Destroy them.

 

Full moon at its peak Tuesday night at 9:30pm cst. Expect the unexpected; injuries, trick plays, new Herman dance moves, etc.

 

I expect slaughter and desolation.
No prisoners.

 

We should win in a cakewalk, which is exactly why we might not.

 

Colorado is good enough. Their New QB is very good. I look at them as good as West Virginia. We'll probably win because the team is relaxed, rested, and not have any pressure.
Hard to bet against Herman in a bowl, but this one could bite him as we are favored---we do better as hungry underdogs, than fat favorites.

 

Who will be our Drew Kelson to their Joel Klatt?

 

Mongol General: What is best in life?

Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

 

Mission accomplished.

 

Colorado died.

 

A horrible death

 

And not a quick one, either. We let them linger into the 2nd half before putting them away.

 

And the second string QB put the dagger in their throat. That had to sting, pun intended.

 

To be fair, the backup QB didn’t get that many plays in since he scored so damn quickly every time he hit the field.

 

We now hold the longest win streak in the series at six and Colorado and their fans expect to lose to us. I am reasonably satisfied.

 

Kinda reminds one of a bull fight. Tease and torture the animal for an extended period and then BAM! Sword to the neck.

 

Wait, you’ve tried dating in your 40’s too?

 

We might have won the PAC 12 this year, had we been out there.

Then again, we'd probably drop easy games against WSU and U. of Ariz, but otherwise run the table.

 

LMAO! No, married right out of UT and celebrated our 46th anniversary a few days ago.

 

Stay warm coach

 

Their fans expect to lose to everybody, but they are also so clueless that they are trying to figure out how many points a touchdown is worth.

 

Yeah, well he could also outcoach every current coach in this conference. But I said I'd stop talking about that...
