This is why I posted in the first half that we needed to get it together and turn this into a laugher.
Close games are fun for the fans and good for TV ratings but they also mean that your front line players are playing the whole game.
This team has a bunch of young guys who are going to be counted on over the next couple years who would benefit from real game experience, even if it is a blowout. Playing against a different team is simply different that practicing against your own teammates.
There are also a bunch of guys who will never be in the game unless it is a blowout or a bunch of guys get hurt. These guys are still working at practice every day (sometimes working harder because they have to simulate the opponent all week.) They work hard with no guarantee that they will ever get playing time. It means a lot to them for their family and friends to see them in a game even if it's garbage time.
Interestingly enough 10+ years down the road a lot of times these guys are more important to the program than they were as athletes. They go on to be successful in their chosen careers and big supporters of the program.
What are the odds that Charlie Offerdahl is highly successful in the future. His loyalty to the program will be strong.
LET GO OF HELL!What impressed me most today is that they FINISHED. With a little over 7 mins left, I was saying (and I don’t think I was alone) “here we go again.” Utes score and bring the spread to 11 points, then force a fumble. They got the Mo.
How do the Buffs respond? Interception, touchdown, 4 and out turnover on downs, touchdown. That is freaking DOMINATION.
Nice call but 2nd place to this Gus call.
So you post “Let Go of Hell.”
And then you follow it up with that post.
I’m kind of confused.
Two posts with different meanings.
“Let go of hell” was in response to El Gringo thinking “here we go again” and reminding Buff fans to quit assuming the worst is going to happen.
The Lindsay post was just saying that Gus’ call of that run was better than his call of Hunter’s TD.
