How worried are you about the Hawaii game?

- Start date
Obviously.
Games are not played on paper. No matter the fact CU should be better than Hawaii, they have to go out and handle their business. If they are not prepared mentally, the talent difference won't matter.
I rested my entire hope for the future of the Buffs on comparing punters.:lol:
You don't even know what yours is, which is what I was pointing out. That's all. And Shoulder's got the basics down.
I clearly stated my opinion that last year's game has little to no indication as to how this year's will go, due to too many staff and personnel changes on both sides. What don't you understand about that?
You have become the biggest troll on this website, offering almost zero original opinions to these discussions.
First paragraph: Thank you for explaining your opinion, even if it will change instantly as needed.
bolded: ****ing allsome.
Solid analyzizzz

Back to worthless
Just a quick sample from today and yesterday in 2 of the more discussion heavy threads. Solid value added by you. Maybe spend less time focused on constantly attacking me, and more time having a discussion.
Woaaah. I'm positively glowing right now. No one has ever quoted me that much.

I was told the Hawaii guy put us inside the 20 7 times. And someone that told me that somehow forgot to mention our guy did it to them 6 times! Hopefully O'Neill wasn't a senior and is being replaced by a true freshman or something? Even if he is, surely we have one of the best ST coaches in the nation and can overcome that minor issue if it were to be true, which it is not.
Yup. Darragh was a boss. We will miss him. That said, I'm more worried about our place kicking.

I am also more concerned about placekicking. While I have the utmost faith in Coach Neinas, Mexican Sebastian Janikowski may just not be up to the task. Let us hope he proves me wrong.
That is an issue. Punting may be an issue and for a bad team it may be bigger than we think right now.

To me, this game is more relevant (road game, 1st game of season):
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=312460062
Hopefully we put it in the zone, worrisome for me as well. This punter we have coming in, can he do both?
The recruiting services had him rated as a punter only, however the kicking evaluator, (sailer?) commented that he could do both so I guess we will see.

Yes, Kinney will compete for PK duties per MMac
Hope so because we will need it. We stall a lot in the red zone. Hopefully that changes too.
Seems like we say this about CSU every year (can't find a starting OL, brand new QB, transfer RB with knee problems, graduated starting TE, etc) and it ends up being a crap shoot.
Plain and simple, this game is going to come down to how mentally prepared and strong the Buffs are. If there are two teams that this is most prevalent - it's CSU and Hawaii on the road.

Eh not really. Happened at bad times, but overall we were at 88.9% in the red zone, our opponents were st 89.3%. 64.4% of ours resulted in 6 points which falls #47 nationally. Needs to improve, but not bad by any means
I know I fell into that trap last year, and honestly I underestimated Sparkles. Like you said though, it came down to mental preparation. We came out of the tunnel on fire. Were up to 17-0 at one point. However when adversity hit CU wasn't mentally prepared to respond to it. CSU responded and CU crumbled. The mental side is where I expect to see the biggest difference this year.
Well I feel better about it where it's scheduled so maybe our guys will know who they are. They will come with it, we know that much.
Didn't know that.
gleeb gun is empty, but good post. And re: the bolded, holy **** yes.
In retrospect, especially as the discussion has developed, it is incredible how many times CU shot themselves in the foot last year. Sefo driving to win a game, pick. Oliver set up for a game winner, wide right. Defense needing to hold on a 4th and long and missing a tackle. O driving then suffers a false start. I know all fans will say similar things about the games their team lost, just seems like CU had an unreasonably high amount of game losing **** ups.
Being in the military, Most of the people I work with graduated from D1, if P5, schools. And the sad part is, everyone I work with (or have worked with over the past 10 years) always mention that "CU seems to shoot themselves in the foot more than most teams", so even they notice.

Oregon lost their DC and their QB. We made a bunch of positive changes. We have them at home this season. Last year's results don't matter. Loving our chances this year!
