Over the course of my college career I have seen bad football, and a grand total of 13 wins. I’ve used body paint that was intended for industrial use, and made the studious student in me go to class looking like Zoolander in a coal mine. I’ve seen good traditions, like student marshmallow and tortilla fights during television timeouts, disappear.
I’ve gotten the raw end of many deals, but yet I remain faithful and most of the time positive.
So I feel confident in saying the Buffs won’t go to a bowl game. Jon Embree’s second year as a coach will be better than this first. But the 5 wins, that I’m predicting, will be a success.
Hawai’i, Colorado State and Washington State should all be wins.
The Buffs will get at least one of these games, but more likely two Arizona, USC, UCLA, Washington, Arizona State or Cal. Greg Brown, Colorado’s defensive coordinator, will put together some crazy scheme for the matchup with his former team, the Arizona Wildcats. Their overall popularity has made USC a team players are gunning to knock off the top, even if they aren’t anywhere close to where they have been in years past. And Jon Embree will come out of the opposing tunnel at the Rose Bowl. He will be walking his son, Taylor, out on senior night and then hopefully sustain those strong emotions into the game versus UCLA.
And I think the Buffs could, or will at least have the opportunity in the final moments to beat Oregon, Utah, Ohio State or Stanford. A win in one of these games won’t only be good for national recognition (possibly not the type Colorado needs) but it will reaffirm to Buff fans that this is the right direction the program needs to move in.
