They never had a winning season in a Colorado uniform.

They endured a coaching change, with expectations and hopes of the fan base pointed toward the future, not the present.

They were forced to handle derision, ridicule and scorn; they were fixtures in the “Bottom Ten”.

Of course, I am talking about the large CU senior Class …

… of 1983.

 This weekend, the University of Colorado football team played its fourth ranked team in five weeks in the first Friday night home game in school history. The Buffs were 21-point underdogs, and lived up to (or down to) expectations, falling 42-17 to No. 21 USC.

Trojan quarterback Matt Barkley threw for a school-record six touchdowns, and even took the time to lead the band in the school fight song after the game. The lead for the national publications after the game were predictable. The Buffs were an after-thought, with the stories recounting that the Trojans had “bounced back” after a heart-breaking loss to Stanford, and had “taken care of business” against the hapless Buffs.

Pretty damning stuff if you were dressed in black (and gold) for the game.

Pac 12 Notes – October

//posted 10.25.2011

October 31st If you can’t leave ’em, sue ’em! Colorado and Nebraska were required to give 24 months’ to the Big 12 if they wanted to leave the conference. Colorado gave two year’s notice, but Nebraska was willing to pay a penalty to leave a year early. In the end, both teams left after a year, sacrificing television revenue to get out of the conference a year early. The Big East, in an attempt to keep teams from leaving, instituted a 27-month waiting period. West Virginia, though, wants to become …
