They need to hang it up and go to FCS if they can't manage to get to 6-6 with their schedule this year (they won't). CSU may only have one remaining win -- San Jose State. UTEP is bad, but I can tell you right now they will not win in El Paso. UNLV is also horrendous, but they did beat Hawaii by 20 last week and that game is also in Las Vegas. The only other game they'll have any chance in is Wyoming. The Pokes are pretty bad/erratic themselves typically, but they're 3-0 thus far and beat CSU 44-0 last season. I had been thinking that Fairchild would keep his job this year due to their easy schedule allowing him to win enough to be 5-7 or 6-6, but it's pretty clear that they're looking at a 3 or 4 win season, and that's not going to cut it in year 4. They obviously aren't going to have the money to throw down on Leach, and it's ****ing hilarious they've been talking about Barnett and Hawkins over there as well, not to mention Charlie Weis!! If an "offensive mastermind - one of the best offensive minds in the game of football" according to Joel Klatt can't get it done there, who can? They really need to realize things will be much better for them in FCS. Their facilities, fanbase, etc are all in-line with FCS. Some FCS schools draw 30k a game, that's something CSU can only dream of, although their 15k a game would be pretty solid. We obviously wouldn't play them every year once they're FCS, but I'm sure we'd be happy to give them a nice payday a couple times a decade and beat them 77-3.
