the hype train has been derailed
- Thread starter absinthe
- Start date
Most of those jokers wear their jock straps backwards.
Nothing says the hype train is in trouble quite like New York Magazine deciding to publish an article on the Colorado football program to speculate that the hype train may not be sustainable.
FIFY
Got to this sentence “the Colorado Buffaloes, historically one of the sorriest major college football programs in the country.” and stopped reading. I was like, this muther****er can suck it and he obviously has no idea what he’s talking about, ****ing piece of ****.

Full disclosure: I am not a baseball fan.
This dude is an East Coast, national mlb writer. The article wreaks of “…I don’t like change…” So on brand.

WTF?
So much better than that little bird woman.
I think I read the exact same article several times before the season started, except instead of Oregon favored by 21, it was TCU, also favored by 21 who would be ending the hype train. And then I read the same article again where Nebraska and their big boy defense and O-line would end the hype. Oh, and if we beat Oregon, this guy will write the same thing about USC and that Oregon was overrated. Nothing is enough, goalposts keep moving for these a-hole writers.
I'd like this writer to define "Flash" as it relates to our team and why it's bad. Is "Flash" a good QB who puts up big numbers? Yes! Is that substance and 100% necessary to win? What about a walk-on TE who converted from WR a few weeks ago? But he doesn't know want to know about that. He's using it a dog whistle rather than an actual logical football argument. And he seems to imply that Prime doesn't want to have a fundamentally sound team, that he'd rather have social media warriors that somehow get lucky on the field. I'm sure Prime would have gotten bigger and better OL and DL players if they were available. But they comin', no doubt!
His calling Colorado football so moribund that Prime is certainly going to leave doesn't seem to have any credibility. And why would anyone else want to hire such a horrible coach who's about to lose continuously? Or is because Colorado is fundamentally moribund that we can never win? He seems to think that KD has been coaching for 50 years and infected the whole state. Prime is just getting comfortable. The last thing he wants to do is prove theses asshole to be correct.
I appreciate you acknowledging that.
I do not - so much in the bigoted history of sports that he fails to reinforce that I would have acknowledged. The story is far more profound than his hype. I mean, for **** sake, not even one mention of how CP should be at Auburn if it wasn't for the endemic racism of that school and the SEC.
