I agree, but until we win a road game (against a BCS team) I don't think we will be favored to win.
Quite a few similarities between CU and KSU this year, no?
Probably would be more similarities next year after CU fires Hawkins and hires back their old coach Bill McCartney. I read a post from a CU fan that says he has it from a very reliable source that coach Mac is coming back and bringing Eric Bieniemy with him and that Hawk's buyout is a done deal. Then another poster goes: "He'd sure as hell do a better job than Darth Snyder: Era II". I thought that was pretty funny. Wouldn't be a bad title for the Football Board either. . . . and photoshop opportunities.
I, like many others here, am no Snyder apologists, but this is triple dumb. McCartney left the game in 19freakin94! He's been out longer than he was a head coach. Not only that but he is far removed from football, not only Keeping Promises, but doing mission work in Jerusalem. That's the worst idea ever, completely impractical. Snyder was out 2 and a half years and he stayed pretty connected. I couldn't imagine McCartney coaching today, it would be an epic disaster. Those who mock Gill would have a lifetime of material in Coach Mac's first month.
