In a perfect world there are no cannons
filed in Rivals on Aug.07, 2006 by Perrin
I know I am getting ahead of myself here a bit seeing as it’s only the first day of practice and our first game is against Montana State, but I need to talk about CSU. The other night CET aired a pre-season program about the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Overall it was entertaining. They asked a number of coaches and former players if they preferred it to be a “good game” or a blowout. I personally have no reason to be politically correct so let me be the first to say I want CU to put on a clinic. Seriously, what true fan wants a “good game?” My definition of good game is CU wiping up the field with their opponent. I root for CSU every other weekend of the year but come September, 9th they might as well be from a state that begins with N.
So it was fun to watch this show and get fired up for Saturday’s in the fall again. However, I had a terrible nightmare that night. Granted, I’m pregnant so wacky dreams are par for the course these days but this one was exceedingly scary and it was all the fault of that damn cannon. Not much makes my blood boil like the sound of the CSU cannon. I hate it! And the worst part is that they fire it after extra points too. It’s beyond obnoxious. So without dismissing the importance of the season opener, I would like the team to begin visualizing a perfect world in which CU owns Invesco Field, no sports commentator refers to the Showdown as a “good game” and a year passes without hearing that awful cannon.

I feel that having a game, even against Montana ST. will help us against CSU. I have to admit as well that I love nothing more than a close game, but when CU is involved a blow out is always much better for my stress level.

Honestly, a blow out would really make me happy. With all the hate towards CU that spews out of Fort Collins…42-0 sounds good to me.
No more cannon blasts!
