Sort of my sentiment.
Why does everyone think we are suddenly not going to win some conference games. Jesus Christ guys. Yea it sucks we lost our best player and the heart of the team, but its not the end of the world. With the exception of last year this year's team is still one of the if not the most talented team we have had since Chauncey's years. We will still make the tournament. We will still be competitive especially at home. I am more of optimistic guy than most of you, but I think that is realistic. Why make statements like our season's over? Has football been such a failure that after one thing goes wrong we declare we are toast. As a fan, that is not fun at all. It is not fun to just think we are going to lose every game. So why be a fan then if you have no hope for the team you are cheering for.
Right. I meant to include Fletcher. But yea I am really bummed too. I was so upset about it I couldn't even enjoy the Broncos game and the UCLA game I was so pumped up for has became a little blah to me. I guess maybe I should just stop reading because even though all the comments are mostly spot on, it is like adding salt to an open wound right now.
If we have to stay ranked, would they pick a Stanford team (potentially) going nowhere and unranked UCLA team over a top 5 UofA team regardless of how we do?
It makes for a good story when we outperform expectations. If we suck royally from here on out, we can blame it on Spencer being injured. So it gives the fans a cop-out.
Ha, it's funny to me for all the ESPN hate, how much everyone wants it and what a big deal it is.
I imagine that kind of doomsday scenario is what it take. Even with that, this could turn into which road team do they want to showcase -- UofA or UCLA?
So you don't really care if we end up on GameDay?
If you dislike ESPN so much, what's the big deal if they come? Shouldn't we want them to stay away? Who'd want to be associated with such a terrible product?
You are just purposefully being obtuse here, right?
Of course it will be better for the Buffs. Just funny to me, the "I hate ESPN, I'll never watch ESPN, F*ck ESPN... but ESPN please come to Boulder" attitude.
Yeah sure, but if the season goes south will they keep showing up? It's not like CU has a fanbase that has been showing up for years. Even this year, we've seen a lack of enthusiasm as demonstrated by comments in this thread. It's not just a quantity issue but a quality one as well, CU needs to show more than ever the home court advantage of the KEG now that were short a core player. Now the Stanford's fanbase isn't great either. But if they have to choose between two uninspired fanbases, they'll choose the more compelling matchup. They might choose the more compelling matchup to begin with because unlike the football version, they are always showcasing the game in basketball. I still think it's CU's to los like I previously said, but I don't think it's as big of a slam dunk as it once was.
Like the committee, I'm sure ESPN will be paying more attention to our home attendance, both in terms of numbers and enthusiasm. I really hate to think that an injury could derail GameDay coming here, but making the Tournament -- which we were just talking about seeding previously -- is more paramount at this point.
