College teams with most talent for 2014 NFL Draft

If I believed that CU is uniquely cursed, I wouldn't bother with this.

So that argument is going to fall on deaf ears.

CU has some significant advantages and also some challenges (mostly of its own making).

I firmly believe, with real world proof to back it up, that when CU has a good coaching staff and its facilities are on par with the competitive mean, that CU delivers a Top 25 football program with recruiting in the Top 25.

When we have one or the other (coaching or university support), CU is a middling program as we saw at the end of the Barnett era.

When we have great coaching along with a president that emphasizes football and invests in football facilities, CU is a Top 10 program.

When we have lousy coaching along with a president who doesn't care about sports and allows football facilities to deteriorate, CU is a Bottom 10 program.

I don't think this is all that complicated.

Phil DiStephano, with 38 years at Boulder, shows symptoms of Chief Niwot's curse.
