Another Roundtable Discussion with the Crimson and Cream Machine
Pick one current player to be the “Face of the Franchise” for your team. You can only select one player so tell us why you selected the person that you did.
Little Hawk. A potential four-year starting quarterback that would have been a five-star recruit if he had been taller than 6 feet (or maybe better looking), this Elite 11 quarterback was apparently good enough to share snaps with Tim Tebow (oh, and he was rated #4 out of all the participators in that camp according to CU’s website. Love that Kool-Aid!). Oh, and he’s the coaches son, so no matter what he does, he’s going to get a lot of extra attention. No single player means more to the Buffs right now, and no single player is has the potential to really change the fate of the program like Little Hawk. Let’s all hope Little Hawk likes Ram meat with a big side of Corn!
Tell us what makes your team’s stadium great, traditions, facilities, etc…
Three simple things:
1. The Flatirons covered in snow around Thanksgiving. Who am I kidding, the flatirons anytime! Name a better looking stadium in a better setting in the nation.
2. Ralphie – hands down, the most bad ass live mascot in the United States of America.
3. The pure joy you get in the student section. Those creaky bleacher seats have made me many a happy day. Even if they tilt so far as to throw you and your cohort off balance and into the row below or above you, your fellow buffs in gold (hopefully the smiling and happy ladies;) will catch you and help you to your feet.
Hypothetical – Your team has to vacate their current stadium and play a game in another Big 12 stadium which one would you pick for them to play in and why?
Nebraska Memorial Stadium. Not only would Ralphie be well fed, but man would that be one pissed off and angry football team that came out of the tunnel. The benefit of seeing that stadium covered in black and gold would also be a plus.
Unthinkable – Take your team’s biggest rival’s head coach and make a case as to why he would be a good fit on your sideline.
Forget Lubick. His team is only the #1 rival for one week a year. The rest of the time, it’s the devil in red. As much as I hate Bill Callahan and think he’s all wrong for Nebraska, I think he has some positives for CU. He can recruit, and that is one thing I would love to see CU doing more of. He seems to be smart enough to leave the Defense alone to those who know what to do with it. Even if I hate his offense, he can’t be more offensively challenged than Barnett.
