the hype train has been derailed

WTF?
That didn't age too well.
Well on one side we have my complaining about us getting schooled at the time by little brother, in a game on national TV, as 23-point favorites, after we lost our best player to a cheap shot and needed a hero drive (that happened after my post) to save face.
on the other side we have your Tad Boyle takes.
**** off

WTF?
You and 136 other cork-up-their-ass old farts are worried about a tree and missing the whole freaking national forest.
You missed the biggest point here.
This was the most immediately effective reverse bwalk jinx I've ever seen. We should all be thankful to absinthe for what he did in this thread.
Buoyed by this perspective, I just went back and repped the OP.
Does this mean the curse is gone?!
No. Doom is inevitable. But it was forestalled for one more game. It comes.
No! This is a continued and deliberate process overseen by the Priests of Doom. It must be tended to continuously
EDIT: Dammit, Snow. I knew I was in a race with you on that one.
It is pretty funny when people that know I’m a CU fan ask if I think we can win the conference and/or get to the playoffs. When I respond with “I’m just hoping for a bowl game” they are shocked.
Top 10 reasons why Generation X is the best generation
Far too often Generation X is left out of the discussion in a world of Baby Boomers, Millennials and Gen Z. But here's why they're the best.

THE greatest generation. Gen X in the mutha****in’ hoooouuusse!
Again - it’s CSU. Weird **** happens. Just look at the SEC this week if you (the royal you) needs to feel better about this win.
Actually, yes.
Also, I’m glad Oregon is happening when it is. Team is pumped, it’s early in the season where depth isn’t quite as big an issue yet, and Oregon is still figuring their **** out.

Well, not exactly in the house, but around somewhere. They said they'd be back before Cinemax After Dark comes on.
I, OTOH, do not have it. I’ve been looking for it but haven’t been able to find it. I still believe it lingers somewhere deep within me and all I have to do is bring it out. I go to the driving range and believe I’ve found it but then I play a round and it is nowhere to be found. I have no idea where it went.
Does @absinthe write for New York Magazine?
Good thing someone set that guy straight in the comments.
The Deion Sanders Hype Train Is Probably About to Derail

Prolly chatgpt
Beautiful.
This guy is so wrong. The hype train is just getting started! These people don’t get that IF we lose to Oregon and SC, it’s not going to derail the trajectory we’re on. CP has been coach for 3 games only. He isn’t going to go undefeated in year 1. No one expected that. No one expected us to be 3-0 either.
Just wait until next year after CP hits the portal again and fills in the holes we have in the roster. He also hasn’t even had a full recruiting cycle yet. Imagine what kind of class he’s going to get. Good things are coming to the Buffs!
And that is why you are not #1 on the PGA tour.
Focus, drive, talent, instinct, desire, training and the ability to rise in the face of adversity are just some of the things that I was lumping into "IT". It is the difference between a journeyman PGA tour player and say someone like Tiger Woods. You can't get there without the raw talent, but you don't have 'IT' just because you have the talent.
I know you were playing around with my post, but I just wanted to expand on what I was trying to say
And it was more than just CSU. We see teams have letdown games after big wins time and time again.
These kids are still learning to play together and play for CP while adjusting to the media spotlight he brings. They jump right into the pre-season hype, the emotional high of that TCU win, then go directly into rivalry week against Nebraska, the high of another big win and rivalry week 2.0 against CSU, all while GameDay has a seemingly permanent position on campus, 60 Minutes is in town, etc. That's a lot for anyone to deal with, and I'm actually proud of how well the team did.
It's probably a good thing they had a bit of a letdown game and now get to go on the road in what is basically their first "normal" week. I think we'll see a different team step onto the field, especially early.
I don't think he believes.
That was definitely some bull junk
Dammit!
Look at those goalposts move!
CU has beaten two P5 teams, and a rival G5 team in their 'lackluster' schedule. Suddenly it was 'expected' that they would win these games, even though many pundits claimed they wouldn't win more then 2 games.
Now it is wishcasting that they get shelled by USC and Oregon, and if they lose those games suddenly it shows the hype wasn't worth it.
So.much.goalpost.moving
If we beat Oregon it will be 'well maybe Oregon was overrated'
O. M. G. YES!!! and how about that free playboy for two months after you had cable installed.
