CU makes ESPN Bottom 10

BuffNut99 · Sep 17, 2009

We knew this was coming, but ESPN took a little extra time (graphically) to nail the point home:

I think this is the first time we've been on this list. I recall us being in the "waiting list" in 2006.

Please Buffs, win the next one.

ouch

5. Colorado 0-2

they killed Ralphie.

chipwich · Sep 17, 2009

they ****ed with our logo. bastards !

SanDiegoBuff · Sep 17, 2009

At least we're number 5. Number 5 is never a permanent position. Worry about the bottom ten when we're actually buried in there.

dio · Sep 17, 2009

Too bad we didn't play Miami(OH) last week :lol:

leftybuff · Sep 17, 2009

See, Juicebox was right...sooner or later this thing was going to pop. I just didn't know when he said pop, he meant our balloon....:sad1:

#5 is a place of honor. You really have to #$%! up to get #5. As SanDiegoBuff points out, worry if we get buried at one of the other numbers. Damn... #5... Made my day.

In other words, get ready?

PhillyBuff · Sep 17, 2009

Lose to Wyoming and I bet we crack the bottom 10 at 6-10... get blown out and we might be in the top four. #5 will be taken over by someone else next week regardless.

Look at the bright side... we're ranked!

Atownandy · Sep 17, 2009

Finally getting some national coverage again. Glad Hawkins is doing so much for the program.

L Buff · Sep 17, 2009

Both of my alma maters are on the list. :sad1:

That's a rare privilege. :huh:

PurifydatA$$ · Sep 17, 2009

Did you look at the other teams on that list - we are by far the biggest, best known, most highly funded program on that list...makes it even worse that we're on there. yikes

#5 is usually a big name school. I was actually surprised that we got the #5 spot.

Last week Oregon was #5

UVa isnt too shabby.

Hugegroove · Sep 17, 2009

I remember when KsJuco was on that list every year.

They're the only other BCS program on that list and their coach is likely to be gone long before Hawk.

buffwings · Sep 17, 2009

YES, we are finally ranked again!

FAAAAKKKKKK! :sad1:

IDBUFF · Sep 18, 2009

I had noted NO ONE cared about the fall of CU in the national media. Well we made the national media. The "dead" Ralphie is cruel twist.

BuffMania · Sep 18, 2009

The good news is that we're young and Hawkins is only in year #4.

gawd... mine is easy if you know the largest school in Philadelphia.....

the school that got the boot from the Big East!

I almost went to UVA law school....

that would have been embarassing to have 2 BCS schools in the bottom!

MiamiBuffs · Sep 18, 2009

Wow. It's great to be in the same company as Ball State, Tulane and Temple.

Well, they managed to somehow win a game which goes a long, long way to getting you off that list. :lol:

At least Virginia will be on this list with us for awhile. They lost to William and Mary. There next chance at a win might be Indiana. There last 4 games look really, really tough.

I meant the school, not the football team.

I thought it might be Bill Cosby U. :smile:, but didn't foreclose on the chance that it might be UVA (for undergrad).
