Kansas State – The Process of Elimination

//posted 10.29.2005

October 29th – @ Kansas State Colorado 23, Kansas State 20

Mason Crosby kicked a 50-yard field goal with six seconds remaining to give Colorado a 23-20 win over Kansas State.

The victory was the second last minute win in a row over the Wildcats, as the Buffs had handed Kansas State a 38-31 setback in Boulder on a Joel Klatt to Ron Monteilh 64-yard touchdown with five seconds left in 2004.

The titles of the past and the promise of the future were offset by a lack of overall success. After all, it was argued, the Buffs finished only 8-5 overall in 2004, played in a lackluster division, and had backed into the 2004 title with a 4-4 conference record when Iowa State failed to win its final game at home against Missouri. The record showed that Colorado had been trampled by Texas (31-7) and Oklahoma State (42-14) during the regular season, then embarrassed by the Oklahoma Sooners, 42-3, in the Big 12 title game.

Not exactly the stuff of legend.

In addition, the black cloud of scandal continued to hang over the Boulder campus.

Gary Barnett had returned from a spring suspension and had retained his job with wins on the field, but President Elizabeth Hoffman and Athletic Director Dick Tharp were no longer with the school.

Replacing Tharp was Mike Bohn, named as Colorado’s fifth permanent Athletic Director in April. Bohn grew up in …
