Unhappy Campers

For the second week in a row, an unexpected road loss to ISU has the fans grumpy with their coaches.

The groups have three things in common:

- they think ISU is worse than Baylor
- they lost to said team on the road
- they have second-year coaches they already want to throw under the bus.

Check out the comments to the story wrap up at the Boulder Daily Camera. The Hawkins Honeymoon is definately over for some fans. Doing things differently is always hard to sell.

We saw the same things coming from KSU over Prince's performance last week. Prince, still over .500 in just his second year, has a warm seat because he isn't 10-2 and in the BCS. Apparrently that is where we are at, now: BCS or bust. Every Year.

I hope we can avoid that. Granted, we need some more wins to overinflate our expectations, but still, can we collectively check ourselves for the next couple of years?

Oh, nice comeback fellas. That showed some tasty moxie. Nice "court awareness" by the CU long snapper, too. Very savvy, and it almost worked. Twice.

Somehow I feel that was a tiny bit of payback for the '95 loss to CU when Ricky Neweasel went for two with a minute left to push the final margin to 22 because the line on the game was 21. Subtle, Ricky, very subtle. Why was I the least surprised person in America that he was busted for betting on college sports while working as a college coach?

Another 10 or 12 similar gut wrenching losses for the Buff and we might be even.

Even though it has only been two years since ISU beat Okie State, a$m, KSU and CU in succession, it still seems very far away. It's nice to have a winning streak to tallk about.
