Colorado Fans are delusional

I was an on-the-side fan of CU back in the 90's with Bill McCartney's teams. Now they have a HC who's resume includes success at a glorified junior college
Same here. I remember reading about the QB who knocked up coach's daughter and then died of cancer. Think his name was Sal Aunese?

Bill was a pretty conservative Christian but he recruited inner city LA dudes. Would love to have been a fly on the wall for some of those recruiting visits

Yes, Darian Hagan was the kid that took over for Aunese. He was from Central LA and QB'd them to the natty. McCartney was a former Michigan assistant who did well. He was also one of the founders of the Promise Keepers but eventually was exposed for an extra-marital affair

That's right, forgot all about the PK's

I think I have finally found the root for @HammerDown angst against Coach Prime.

After researching the CU archives it turns out that Hammer was actually briefly on the team in 1987. His position was simply listed as "holder"

Place kick holder? Jocks? Not specified

The 30 for 30 on McCartney and those Buffs teams was one of the better one's IMO. The Gospel According to Mac. Them being elite was a little before my time, but learning about some of that history and backstory was really compelling.
 
I love the discipline. Deion doesn't take any shit.

 
This reminds me of Vol Nation. There are always that 1 or 2 Vol Fans that think we go 11-1 or 10-2 every season. This year, they happen to be close to correct so I guess you have that.
