I am sure others feel this way and may have already expressed it in other threads. Like everyone on AB, I dedicate a lot, really too much, of my life to following a ****ty football team in the hopes things will eventually turn around and constantly looking for any excuse to believe.

Like many on here I was believing that this season was the one to turn things around. Was not convinced we would get to a bowl, and in fact in a recent season prediction thread I suspected we would lose one of our 4 opening games and actually predicted Hawaii. However I thought it was because it would take Leavitt longer to get the D improved. They were far from the biggest problem today.

-OL pass protection was disgusting given we had 3 returning starters.
-Our Special Teams continue to be nauseatingly bad and there is no excuse for that with the depth we now have
-Sefo was under way too much pressure all day, but even when he wasn't he missed on all his deep balls and he has been a starter too long for that to happen so consistently
-Bad game management by HCMM and Sefo cost us too often
-Too many stupid mistakes cost us on both sides of the ball and ST

I could go on and on but I am sure this has all been covered ad nauseam in other threads.

But enough is enough. We have all suffered through this **** show for a decade now. I really believed in HCMM as the guy to right the ship (even though I wasn't sure if he was a guy who could get us to Pac 12 titles) but Hawaii made me for the first time, seriously doubt him because we were not prepared to play and beat a team we were supposed to beat. That has to be on him.

So this long winded post is to say adios to the Buffs and to AB for the season at least. Some of you know I recently moved to Barcelona (from Santiago) and it has been hard enough following a ****ty team from so far away with very different time zones. On top of that I am now living in the city with arguably the best team on the planet in the beautiful game (futbol or soccer) and I just can't keep dedicating my time, energy and passion to a team that has consistently let me down for 10 years now.

I know this may sound like I am a fairweather fan although I definitely don't think of myself that way. I am just tired of staying up late during the off season to track recruiting and doing the same to frequently be completely disappointed on game days.

I do think some day CU will turn things around. Whether it is with HCMM or Rick George's own hire (I remain 100% confident in him still) I am not sure. Whether it is this year (VERY doubtful), next year or years from now remains to be seen. At some point I will come back in but maybe not as committed as I have been. I am just tired of the never ending disappointment.

To all of you ABers with stronger stomachs than I have, keep up the fight (although maybe a bit less in fighting would be nice :)

Been nice "knowing you" guys.

Adios amigos.

Wait a second, you mean if my aunt had balls she'd still be my aunt? ****in' Scorcese, I knew I couldn't trust him.
 
I purposefully haven't posted anything since the debacle because my passion for this program took a giant hit on Saturday. I probably won't post much in the future, nor invest nearly as much time and energy, but for a catharsis I feel the need to post my thoughts.

I feel like the energy I invest in this team is a complete waste, as the only return I get is games like we got Thursday. Everything indicated this team should be improved and we should have won that game by 14. I (mostly) believed the hype coming out of camp...and to see it was all complete bull**** is really more than any fan should be asked to suffer.

The O...which is returning nearly all the starters...looked like the Keystone Cops. Sefo has made zero improvements on the issues that plagued him last year...untimely INTs, lack of vision, long ball accuracy. The OL, which was supposed to be better, looked horrible in pass protection...again. The WRs showed little to no ability to get open except Nelson, and if they were (like Bobo), Sefo completely ignored it or missed a completely wide open Shay on a deep ball any QB worth a **** should have hit.

Remember how much they talked about and supposedly practiced finishing games so they win the close ones? All that focus and time resulted in what we saw Thursday? How can anyone take away a different conclusion that these kids are losers...not in the existential meaning (I'm sure they all fine young men)...but losers meaning they don't know how to win. Winners find a way to win, losers find a way to lose. Goes for the coaching staff too.

Special teams continue to be a disaster. WTF was Shay doing? Blocked punt after first series (after a 3 and out BTW).

Defense was adequate to good, but face it, Hawaii is not a good offensive team - outside of that kickass receiver of theirs and a decent QB, they have nothing. We gave them short fields and turnovers...which is how they scored a few times.

I have zero confidence in Mac, Sefo, Neinas, Lindgren, Bernardi...even Walters is questionable IMO. Most of all I am off the Mac bandwagon. I was impressed with his job at SJSU and gave him slack cuz CU was such a train wreck, but no more. The heaping pile of dung that showed up Thursday is without excuse, and I would not be at all surprised if we have a different head coach when we play Utah. Now when I watch his post practice interviews, all I hear is blah, blah, blah. I get the same feeling watching him as I did with Hawkins...let that one sink in for a minute.

Sure, the season's not over and there is a very outside (like saying Mt. Kilimanjaro is "outside" my front door...technically true but irrelevant in any practical way) chance this team can make a bowl game. But for me investing the kind of time and energy I have in years past just seems stupid. I mean...after a while doesn't the wife getting beaten take some of the blame for continuing to go back to that guy cuz "she loves him" and he promises "I won't do again. It'll be different now baby". I'm not Lorena Bobbitt pissed, but I can see where she was coming from now.

Catharsis complete. You may now continue to your next scheduled diatribe.

Get a grip, bro!
 
In DBT's defense, if he's not a king, what exactly has he been smearing peanut butter on for all of these years?
 
Oh, and for the record, no matter how much the Buffs suck, and no matter for how long they suck, I'm gonna keep on loving them, just like the REO song. I mean, I expect more, and I want more, and I don't mind saying they suck when they suck. And I'll be angry and grumpy and all that. But I'm not going anywhere.

So the local Classic Rock station this past weekend, played Don't Let Him Go. First time I've heard that song since probably high school. I gotta say, those are some weird lyrics.
