Will it be acceptable to throw chairs during the 2022 season? I’m just asking for a friend.

1-11 is fine, but gosh darn it, we need to be better than 1986 SMU in off-field stuff!

Sooooo which tight ends/D-Linemen will be moving to O-Line this spring?
Both of them.
Have we hit rock bottom or are almost there?
Only team ahead of CU in ESPN's Bottom 10 rankings is the one just north of us.
Bottom 10: A Rocky Mountain low in Colorado
We've got another shakeup (or shakedown?) in the Bottom 10, with the balance of power reaching new heights.
They won’t drop football as that would cause them to have to drop pretty much every other sport, or have the University start footing the entire AD bill. Can we stop bringing that up as a possibility?
In addition to being epically humiliating and making the school a national punchline, it would be a terrible financial move.
I know things are bad, and there is definitely some indifference from the administration toward football, but the doomsday mentality among message board fans has snowballed into being disconnected from reality
We just built a $156 million, 212,000sf sports facility a couple years ago…. They can’t just drop football and all the other sports it supports unless main campus foots the entire budget in the future and services all existing debt.
We’re bad, but that just doesn’t make any sense

we need to lock this thread, set fire to it and bury the ashes in a sealed lead container. The fates are clearly taking this as a challenge.
KD's gonna go 0-12 this year, and start next year 0-4 before he finally gets canned. Losing badly to a terrible CSU team and reinvigorated fusker team in a 21 day span is going to be rock-bottom.
It will be then that CU will do what Georgia Tech did this year, and fire the coach and AD in the same weekend.

Considering people within Buffs4life have torpedoed the football program twice now, it makes total sense.
You underestimate the level of antipathy this administration has towards football. Just look at the last 20 years of mismanagement and ineptitude. It is still not likely that CU will drop football. But the probability of it happening within the next 5 years is definitely greater than zero.
There's a huge difference between having apathy toward football to the point where the broader University isn't going to go out of its way to help it financially, lowering admission standards, and only caring if it makes enough money to fund the rest of the department, and having so much animosity toward football that they decide they are going to cut off their nose to spite their face by dropping the program altogether.
The chance of dropping football in the next 5 years is exactly 0.000%
There is a contingent in Boulder that hates athletics and especially football. They have some fantasy that if football went away all of the attention and donations that go to it would magically move to their programs or areas of interest.
The likelihood of football going away is very low but it is less of a stretch to imagine that the outcome would be very much in line with what we have seen overall from the current administration.
What that is over the last two decades has been an acceptance, an embracing, of mediocracy, a willingness to allow programs that had been leaders to drop to average, a willingness to watch programs that had been above average slide to being common.
It wasn't that long ago that CU was seen as being an upper tier public university, not Ivy league, not elite, but certainly worthy of aspiring to, a place where paying extra to attend had value. We are seeing that go away under the current administration.
As the top conferences pick of the top performing football programs and the money that goes with them it is easy to see Colorado left out, stuck in limbo along with the Oregon States, Washington States, Kansas States, Texas Techs, etc. who may be a step above G5 but no longer welcome in the P5 party or to share in the money they generate.
From there our administration, the same one that allowed us to be left out in the first place simply accepts us being relegated to a lower level and all that doesn't come with it, similar to what they are doing with the whole university.
You do understand that progressive academics cut off their nose to spite their face all the time, don't you?
I would say losing every game.
But then I realized the next level would be playing an FCS and or DII school ..... and also losing every game.

I don't know what to do with this response within the context of your initial post. The University is not going to drop football. Again, the fear mongering about this is ridiculous.
This is complete nonsense. The same administration that paid Hawkins to go away, got involved in the hiring of Embree and then allowed him to be fired after two seasons of ineptitude, hired MacIntyre and gave him an extension only to approve his firing after a 5 win season, approved the fundraising and expenditures it took to build $200m+ of football-specific facilities, go out and hire an SEC defensive coordinator and expand the recruiting infrastructure and then hand out the richest, guaranteed contract in the state to Karl Dorrell.
Again, their incompetence is unmatched, but there is a huge difference between that and this narrative that CU admin is some kind of boogeyman that is actively trying to get rid of the football program altogether.
