I would doubt this given a few days back the athletic dept. posted a picture to facebook of a guy putting together 3 ring binders that stated 2012 CU Buffs Football Playbook

GREAT speach by Embo:

Jon Embree welcomed his second Colorado Buffaloes football team on Sunday night with a stark look back and a stirring look ahead.

"Who are we? Who are the Colorado Buffaloes?" Embree asked his assembled players, assistant coaches and other athletic department staffers in the Dal Ward Athletics Center auditorium. "They're the defending fifth-place team in the Pac-12 South. Sounds pretty good doesn't it? The defending fifth-place team that's predicted to finish sixth. Is that who we are?"

Embree doesn't believe it is, telling of "having the privilege" of being part of a CU team in 1984 that finished 1-10 with 20-plus point losses to Notre Dame, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas State
.
But the 1985 Buffs took a huge bounce up, finishing 7-5 and laying the groundwork for incremental improvement that would carry CU to its first national championship in 1990.

"I share that with you because I've been in your situation; I've been in your seat," he said, then reminding his players that last season's team goal was to win a road game and this season's goal is to reach a bowl game, which would require at least six wins.

"This team has more talent than that one (that rebounded for a 7-5 finish)," he continued. "The difference was, we really believed it . . . You've heard me say it: We hoped to win a lot last year. We didn't really believe we could win. Part of that belief is confidence and confidence comes about through preparation."

"What are we going to say about you guys?" he asked. "Next year's coming . . . is winning one road game in five years an impressive resume? What do we want to say about you guys (next season)? That we won a road game? That's it?

"Are you going to be about what we say we want to do? If we will be about what we say we want to do, there's no doubt we'll be doing something in December or January (at a bowl). We've got talent on this team. People outside this room don't know it, but we've got some players. And I believe we've got heart. I believe that heart's been developed. I believe that mental toughness we need to win has been developed."

Embree reminded his players that they "were chosen to be here, we chose to bring you here. You chose to be a part of it . . . you got it? And it starts (Monday). Understand this: you guys do what you're capable of doing, it'll be one of the best experiences of your life. But you've got to truly believe. You understand that? And the way I can tell if you truly believe that is by what your actions say. Are you about what we're trying to be about? (Monday) starts the first day of our journey and it's not going to end until January."
