You know I never really saw much upside with BCS.

That’s the awesome thing about fandom: you can just start rooting for someone else (unless you suffer from Battered Buff Syndrome).
I would imagine the vast majority of people who frequent this site are too emotionally invested in this program to just start rooting for someone else. I have become a Wisconsin fan over the last 8+ years of dating/being married to my wife, which has been pretty good for the most part, but they will never become Program1 for me. Such is life when some of your first *life* memories are watching the Buffs run out behind Ralphie at Folsom.

An annual survey of high schools in California shows a marked decrease in football participation for a fourth consecutive year.
The latest numbers, released by the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) on Thursday, showed that 91,305 of the state’s high school students played football last fall, a drop of 3.1%.
Statewide participation in football has dwindled steadily — by more than 12,000 — since 2014-15, when there was a high of 103,725 students involved.

High school football participation in California declined for the fifth consecutive year, according to the annual CIF survey.
There were 89,756 students who participated in 11-man football this past year, down from 91,305 the previous year.
High school sports participation in California increased for the eighth consecutive year to an all-time high of 815,313.
Track and field ranks No. 2 among boys sports at 57,302, with soccer No. 3 at 55,036. Soccer is No. 1 for girls sports at 48,647. Volleyball is second at 46,495.
High school football participation continues decline in California
Football participation drops to 89,756, the fifth consecutive year of decline at California's high school level.

While we still recruited unexcitingly there the trend is that California will produce fewer and fewer high quality players over time. Parents are clearly keeping their kids out of football in light of all time high for HS sports participation while football declines.

Miami has been on a very outspoken, anti-football crusade in recent months. Weird
Yeah, I am in the same boat about being a lifelong Buffs fan. I just can’t quit them, which is why I feel severe rage about how they’ve effed this program.

WTF?
I was like you when Barney and the administration tore down CU football and left it a nuclear fallout. I was finally able to move CU football away from the center of my Self map. I haven’t been mad about a play during games for a few years now. I actually made a choice to stop getting angry, it wasn’t fair to people in my life.
Good advice there. I've done a similar thing with politics by only paying casual attention and it made me a lot less pissed off. I need to do the same thing with CU football.
Agree

Just always take the UNDER when they play! More fun to win that way!Agree
Just be sure to get back in time to see 2 good defensive plays before the 3rd down conversion.
The #FadeRobDeVereAndRetire approach is probably a money printer.
Agree
coping skillzzzz:
I tried to become a fan of another team somewhere along the way, I think during the Hawk or maybe Embree years
I never went to CU and have zero ties to the school
I don't even live in Colorado
Why am I a CU fan? idk, I liked watching college football, this one team had sweet ass jerseys and a ****ing buffalo and kept almost beating this hideous Cornhusker team after Thanksgiving every year. They seemed likeable.
Then they sucked balls for forever, so I tried to become a fan of someone else.
USC? I'm from socal, they win a ****ing lot, what a great team to root for. But eh, can't force liking a team. And I just don't like USC
I think I love you.

Plz
Come to CU! Immediately playing time under an OC who previously worked with Jordan Love right before he was drafted in the first round, led Minnesota to an 8-4 record in the tough Big 10, and has had previous stops at high flying offense at Notre Dame and Boise State!
I said plz
serious question, are we even in the market for a QB? I feel like we're not. And honestly, that's the most horrifying thing that has happened recently.
I don't dislike BL, he has potential, but he was the QB of a team that was microwaved dog**** on offense this season. Sometimes he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. And who knows what we have in Shrout.
That being said, how the **** are we not trying to upgrade the QB position? You know, the one position on a football team where one guy can change the fortunes of the entire team? Are we actively trying to lose?

Pretty sure QB has been included in a few places as a position they are looking to possibly add a guy (prep or transfer). Seems most likely to be a transfer in my estimation, though not sure if it’ll be the name-brand kind of kid folks are clamoring for.serious question, are we even in the market for a QB?

Have they? I missed that then. I thought KD listed a few spots during the NSD presser and didn't mention QB somehow
