The coaches would be less excited if the Internet scum sucked less. But that's what happens when you turn your back to the fans, and bounce them out of practice. If you haven't coached, you don't know frustration until the media rubs you the wrong way. Only an other coach really knows how to turn on a coach.
But these lopsided performances were pretty embarassing. As the colder temperatures of October and November blows down from the peaks, all signs point towards a hard end to this season. You'll cut glass with the comments that will come out after the Nebraska game.
Roundly speaking, coaches are meant for the kids, but it's usually the AD who ends up playing with them.
We CU fans cling to memories of a time when the coaches could stand on their own, unsupported by the padding of promotion, and have the recruits and the fans drooling. There was a time CU would shine like a pair of headlights on two bowls of oranges.
It's a shame there is such a cleavage between the alumni and what is going on at Dal Ward. It's difficult to capture many admiring glances when you come out flat, and fail to develop during the four years you spend in Boulder. No little nip/tuck can lift sagging spirits. This is not the land of milk and honey. A cheesy residue lingers in the cracks that coaches make. "A few minor adjustments" and "fixing the little things" do not make cantelopes out of raisins. The flat out truth is that this program is pointing in the wrong direction. Somebody else has the power to perk things up. Untill then, my optimism for a bowl game swings low, like two tennis balls stuck in the toes of a pair of pantyhose.
