Reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer must like Buffalo crack...there is glass half full thinking, then there is borderline 'tard...
In case you missed it
Monday, October 16, 2006
Colorado took a lot of guff for its 0-6 start, so we wanted to make sure everyone celebrated the Buffaloes' first win Sat urday. Maybe not storm-the-field kind of celebrate, though that's what the fans did after a 30-6 victory over Texas Tech, but more of a golf clap.
First-year coach Dan Hawkins had the right idea.
"This is a pretty proud football program. It has a ton of tra dition and I'm not going to do a back flip over 1-6, that's for sure," Hawkins said. "I'd degrade the Buffalo tradition if I was going to do a back flip over 1-6."
Defensive end Abraham Wright was even less impressed.
"You would think I would be more excited, but I am too fo cused on [Oklahoma]," he said. "I'm happy, but our goal is to get to the Big 12 championship, and that is still in our reach."
With Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson out, I wouldn't at all be shocked if Colorado rode this momentum to a win over the Sooners next week. And a conference champi onship? The Buffs are 1-2 in the Big 12 North and have games left with Nebraska and Kansas State, two of the three teams they need to pass. So they could run the table, then beat Texas in the Big 12 title game and go to a BCS bowl at 7-6. Just what college football needs.
