Just let this sink in. Savor it. A new day has dawned for CU Football.



"Colorado has always been a place that I thought should be relevant in the national championship conversation year-in and year-out, because of its tradition and a seemingly endless list of what the school has to offer," Tucker said. "What we have to offer are some of the best facilities in the country, strong academics, and an amazing environment as a whole. Colorado should be a 'no excuse' program. There's absolutely no reason we can't achieve success at an extremely high level.

"I can remember when Colorado was dominant with players like Kordell Stewart, Rashaan Salaam, Chris Hudson, Darian Hagan, Alfred Williams and others," Tucker continued. "Colorado always had difference makers and was very dynamic on both sides of the ball. That's the imprint instilled in my mind when it came to CU. My plan is to continue to restore that tradition and make sure that Colorado once again becomes an elite national program. There's not a better place in America to live, to coach and go to school."

My favorite Buff of all time. His 94 season gets lost sometimes, but he had arguably the most dominant season of any Buff at any position. I don't remember the exact stat but I want to say he only had 2 passes completed on him the entire season. There's a reason he won the Thorpe.

I know I’ll get skewered for this but ... I’m always amazed that people think that the quotes they read in press releases are actual words or ideas the person came up with themselves. 95% of that was someone in Plati’s world that came up with that. They likely ran it by Tucker and he might have added a few markups. But this stuff is highly orchestrated and not at all like sitting down with a subject and interviewing them.

While you are mostly correct, you do not attribute direct quotes to people in an official press release if they didn't state them, either verbally or written.
