wish in one hand… I think you know the rest. This week was filled with the rest in terms of competitive performance. 3 boys, one win. Losses on mock trial and college football—blowouts on both accounts. The worst part is not seeing the kid play the kind of minutes that he earned. Instead a lot of the backups were in, as though Coach is looking to the future and that future means deciding who is up next on the roster. They were blown out by NAU after last weeks rough blowout. That is the kind of thing that breaks a competitive culture. A defense that was top 20 nationally wound up giving up over 100 points over two tough weeks. There is no coming back from that.
I don’t know what practice will look like next week, but I know there will be fewer eyes on the program. I know some players are done fighting. I know my kid isn’t and I hope he gets a real chance to show that and show out in the next two weeks. After, we will se what happens. They could be a 5 win team and they could be less than that. They will still be better than they were and worse than they expected and intended to be.
That brings me to the other Colorado team. They broke in a new qb and lost another game. It’s past the point of being able to get to bowls. Ow. More people are calling for Prone to quit or be fired.
I think they’re in a tough rebuild but I also think they’re as good as can be expected right now based on how they built the thing. The money wasn’t there and the local talent wasn’t there. That luggage done left without achieving the dream so it is time to go shopping and get more coaches who can make the offense sing.
