I'm offended as hell! :sadnanner:

My point was, younger people would have no idea that Colorado used to be a great football school.
I think it was nice that both they and Washington have rebounded this year and i'm not that old. still love the year they absolutely destroyed notre dame and essentially ended Holtz there. For colorado talk about how much a scandal followed by bad coaching hires can kill a program.

On a side note, with a family connection to Colorado, it's nice to see them winning again. People forget that 20-30 years ago they were annual contenders, and won the NC in 1990.
Their NC head coach came and spoke to our team at the high school I coached at pregame in the locker room. Pretty special and a good guy.

I have said all along now that weed is legal in those states the football programs are going to get better! Just saying...
Also Rashaan Salaam and Kordell Stewart to Micheal Westbrook were some childhood memories for me. I have family that live in Boulder so I followed them a little. Still do and it's sad they are ranked above my Gators! Never thought I would see the day.

I'll take your word for it but that sounds shady. There were a couple of SOS years when we werent a top program and I only remember a couple of good years in the 80s.

No offense, but actually they shared a championship with Georgia Tech back when championships were beauty contests.
We won't even get into that fifth down thing
Let's not forget the Gary Barnett years when he covered up rapes among his players FSU and Tallahassee police style, then Bowden publicly defending him. Go figure.

At least a couple of years we would have been in the NC conversation if it wasn't the whole NCAA thing.

Yeah, that was the year they split it with GT... It's also the year I lost respect for McCartney.... not even for the "Fifth Down Game", but more for the way he beyond shamelessly used Sal Aunese's death to motivate.
