Ok. Some of the people on this app talking about CU football are driving me crazy.

Was Prime wrong for calling out a former Buff great? Yep.
Was Nelly wrong for discuss Tawfiq’s $ value? Yep.
Does fighting during practice set up a greater possibility of penalties and ejections during real games? Yep
Have some folks taken unfair shots at Prime? Yep.
Are people way off base calling this team small? Yep.
All the above have been recent topics on this app. And all with wildly varying opinions and responses highlighting the differences in the fan base.

Let’s let our love of the Colorado Buffaloes be something that brings us together. I find it absolutely ridiculous that people feel entitled enough to question others love and desire for success for the program because they don’t share the same opinion.

Didn’t ya’ll play at the schoolyard, get into a beef with someone but had to work your conflict resolution skills so you could play together the next day? How about we use those childhood skills a little more:)

People are being called haters, bitches, clowns, etc for expressing their opinion. Former players who laid it on the line on Folsom Field are having their Buff love questioned by people who became fans four years ago.
Yes, Prime came into the program after a rough stretch. And brought some success and certainly a lot of eyeballs.

But there will Buff football after Prime. There was Buff football before Prime. In fact, the program is top 30 all time. We won a national championship beating Notre Dame to get it done. Won big time bowl games. Whipped up on Oklahoma and Nebraska. Produced tons of All Americans. Tons of drafted players. Tons men of are strong members and leaders in their communities.
All before Prime. And we will find a path to do those things again after Prime.

No one owns CU football, it is bigger than this current twitter beef. It is bigger than one coach or hell, me as a former player.
There is an incredibly proud legacy and so many amazing people whose shoulders we stand on when we wear the uniform or sport the colors at a game.

So….can we merge the former Buff greats with opinions with this new crop of Buff fans?

Really hoping so. Because….we all have the same damn goal. Buffs winning games. Buffs winning Big12 titles. Buffs winning championships. Buffs winning awards. Buffs getting drafted. Buffs making the mark in their communities.

Personally, I want the Buffs to win every games. I want these kids to have the same AMAZING experience I had. I loved being a Buff then and love it now. But…that desire does not stop me from calling things out when I think something is wrong. Or when I see some bullshit happening on the field or with the media. Did the same thing with past coaches and will do the same thing with future coaches.

There is more than one way to be a fan….but singing the fight song would be a great start!

@John_Snelson Smitty! True Buff.

[Kyle Smith @WyoBuff52]

@Coach_Sanford2 Totally agree Mike. Should have let Sean keep supplying the recipes. Could not figure that one out.

@Fastoolie @Patriots That left side of the OL has a lot of growing up to do. They looked like boys playing men but need to flush it and go back to work.

Buzz Williams said, "If my entitlement is high, my gratitude is low."

"If my gratitude is low then I'm not present and I'm not where my feet are."

Entitlement is the enemy of progress.

It's the delusion of earning without earning.

@CUBarstool I just hope they haven’t lost this team. They didn’t look like they wanted to play at all last week and the game plan was non-existent.

Curt Cignetti makes so many other coaches with much higher-profile recruits at bigger programs look silly.

Blocking. Tackling. Physicality. Discipline. It’s football, it’s not that complicated.

I continue this week with deep sense of my helplessness overall. I turned to reading Marcus Aurelius:
“If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it," and "Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one".

Statehouse stooges passed a ridiculous new law that made roadways A LOT MORE DANGEROUS by inviting/encouraging motorcyclists to engage in lane-splitting antics. Now the 99% of Coloradans who don't ride bikes are being warned by authorities that WE better learn and follow the convoluted/nonsensical new rules or else!! https://t.co/86hZK2RcbF

How did a great state like Colorado end up with so many morons making the rules?
