For this CUBuffs football program, it might be a different day, but it’s the same sad song, decade after decade, MarkKiszla writes:

This is a dead football program whistling past the graveyard, haunted by a nightmare of 10 years ago when Colorado went 1-11 before firing Jon Embree.

If the Buffs are shopping for a new football conference, I’m not certain they’re good enough for the Mountain West. The Big Sky might be more their speed. “I guess I’m trying to make it hip again,” said Roberts, who carries the rock with old-school, five-day-bruises intensity. “I love being a fullback, especially the way we run our fullbacks in this offense.”

This Air Force team led by Troy Calhoun makes you wish college football would expand its playoff field to 12 teams now rather than later. At 2-0, with a favorable home schedule, the Falcons not only appear to be a real threat to win the Mountain West but garner more than a handful of votes in the national polls if they keep rolling for the 435 yards on the ground they used to unmercifully pound the Buffs.

Well, here’s a bit of Buffs’ football history that maybe die-hard fans of the program would just as soon forget. Way back in 2010, after parting ways with Dan Hawkins, our old friend Mike Bohn made an audacious list of coaching candidates. At the top of the athletic director’s wish list was Calhoun, a genius of triple-option football who Bohn wanted to steal from down the street.The job of reviving the Buffs has been tackled by four coaches: Embree was followed by Mike MacIntyre.
