Wood thinks we can win six.

So he's the one...

And MacIntyre says 12.

"How many wins can we expect, coach?"

"Fans look at the schedule and go, 'well, we could probably win that one, lose that one, win that one,'" MacIntyre said. "I ask them, 'which one am I going to tell those players they are going to lose?' Our job as coaches and their job as players is to treat every game like that is a season within itself. Whatever we have to do to win it, go win it and then get ready for the next one and go win that.

"I don't put a number on anything. Of course 12-0 is what we want to be. People will say, 'you are crazy.' It might sound corny but honestly when you look at that, what do you want? Do you want me to say to the players, 'okay, we can beat them but we can't beat them.'? If that was the case we might as well not even show up. We will look at it like we can beat anybody we play."

That comment section gave me cancer. The level of ignorance surrounding the perception of CU is remarkable.

If people keep repeating the same thing enough times, it becomes reality.

At the end of the day, the CU football program hauls in tens of millions of dollars each year from tens of thousands of fans who choose to pay money (or sit through TV and radio commercials) to cheer on the black and gold on game day. Football passion still exists dispite the neglect and mismanagement.

The Admin that drove the program gets a pass in that comment section while the alleged hippie liberal elitists of the People's Republic take all the blame for institutional and mismanagement.

Brilliant.

It really is comical the way people think about CU. The hippies don't even go to CU, they go to Naropa

Also, does being in a liberal town stop Wisconsin from having a dominant football team? It's like people think you have to be LSU to be any good at football.

We remain paralyzed by the fear of a repeat of the "scandal". That's an administrative shortcoming and has nothing to do with the liberal leanings of Boulder.
I'll also add my standard cry about the piss poor job the school does at developing any kind of ownership with the students. Crap on people enough, and they'll eventually decide they're tired of being crapped on, regardless of how pretty it is here.

Good point. Aren't a lot of college towns "liberal"? Boulder, Palo Alto, Berkeley, Eugene, Seattle, Austin?? Those cities have now, or have had, great football teams.
