I'm still not sure what this rumor at issue really is. CU2x hasn't really clarified. Buffnik also can't be upset that once the the issue is back front and center, as once something goes on the Internet, it's impossible to keep it under wraps.
okay. I'm not done with you.
I'm growing increasingly annoyed with your portrayal of disatisfied fans as petulant children, with their greedy hands out for more than they deserve.
I don't think it's an accurate assessment.
The fans that you disparage are, in many cases, season ticket holders who have devoted their time, interest and saturdays in the fall to buffs' football for over 20 years.
These fans have invested financially in the program.
These fans believe in the brand that is the university of colorado and take pride in that.
These fans have exhibited considerable patience over a period of seven losing years, in which we've all watched our beloved buffs plummet to previously unexplored depths.
These fans are asking that our administration avoid dragging our beloved brand through the mud, and that we take measures to mitigate our status as a national laughingstock.
These fans would like to see competitive football, and have invested in that desire.
If these fans didn't care, they wouldn't be so outspoken.
You've targeted the wrong audience in my opinion. This isn't a group of needy-want-results-now crybabies, but rather financially and emotionally invested fans that want a reason to be proud of our football team.
I think you owe them all an apology, frankly.
One of your leading moderators posts a BS rumor, and he and his devoted followers totally rip Embree (with incredible psycho-babble analysis). Then when they find it is all BS, they dump the thread and act like nothing happened.
It somehow embarrasses me to know the people who engage in these mindless attacks are considered Buff fans. Please grow up, this is not all about you and your need for a winning team (right now!).
Go Buffs, whip'em on Friday
Give your money to the poor, or people that help the poor. That's a better cause than higher ed. 50-60% of what higher ed does, taken as a whole, is semi-worthless in my opinion. Outside of engineering, the hard sciences and business, higher ed could disappear and the world would probably be better off.I fell I love with the buffs when I was 7 years old. That is well over 40 years ago now. I've followed them through thick and thin. I've donated and bought tickets even though I have spent my entire working career in California. I attended cu despite having better
Schollie offers to other schools in large part because of the football experience in boulder.
I am many things but I won't be called a bad fan because I happen to believe that cu can do much much better than the historically worst season in buff history. This staff has utterly failed. To suggest otherwise is pure lunacy.
I already suspended all donations to all parts of the school. I am on the verge of tuning out completely and focusing on supporting schools and programs on the west coast that actually care about academic and athletic excellence.
Apologists for this historic damage to the cu brand can kiss my ass.
Cu2x was incorrect to conclude that Nik's conclusion was wrong just because one of the premises was false. Just because Cabral was at a meeting doesn't mean that he is still the coach. I would also say he went too far in his criticism.
I do think this thread is illustrating that there is some validity in his larger (smaller?) point. Many people are jumping on a bandwagon and personally attacking him in a reactionary manner, even calling people "dip$hits", without really considering the content of what he is saying.
There was a reversal. A thread was deleted. He is asking for an explanation. Why is that deserving of contempt?
Who is the "him" in this case? cu2x? He didn't ask for an explanation, he asked for an apology. And he was an asshole about it.
Wait, is cu2x really Sly? That'd explain a lot
I don't think so. While stupid, he's way too positive. Sly would say nik was wrong and the only way out of this mess is to add a PE major and fire the Boulder Fire Department Chief.
Yep. If this thread had been titled: "Could someone please explain the Cabral situation?" and the first post had been that he had heard that the radio info was at least partially incorrect, he didn't see the thread any more, and wanted to know what was up...
... the reaction would have been completely different.
I would have patiently explained that the report of him not being at Dal Ward on Monday was incorrect, Cabral doesn't want a firestorm because he wants to leave a certain way, AllBuffs respects that, and because of this we removed the original thread from the open forum and left only the Appreciation Thread.
That's what I wanted to happen today. Sadly, it wasn't allowed to go down like that.
He also didn't mention firing Bohn or how much worse off we'd be if Bohn had been allowed to hire Troy Calhoun.
