Reading Between the Lines

Vegas has the Buffs FAVORED by 7 points against Wyoming this weekend. Call me shocked, to say the least. Here's 10 reasons why Wyoming isn't the favorite:

1. Vegas thinks Toledo and Colorado State are really good and Texas isn't
2. Third time's the charm for being the favorite and covering the spread
3. Dan Hawkins told Vegas that Tyler Hansen will be the starting quarterback this weekend
4. "10 wins, no excuses" means 10-2, Colorado already has two losses, so now it's time for the ten wins
5. Teams that lose to their in-state rivals and let the opposing fans rush the field are really good at home
6. Vegas is predicting a breakout of swine flu in Laramie this week
7. ITS THE BIG 12! ITS DIVISION 1 FOOTBALL!!!
8. Gary Barnett is making a surprise comeback, Dan Hawkins will be fired before the game
9. Vegas saw Cody's career high 356 yards and 4 touchdowns in Toledo last Friday and didn't bother to look at the 3 ints or the scoreboard
10. CU beat Wyoming the last time they played (in 1997)

  1. Hmmm, lets see. Wyoming now has an ex-Big 12 coordinator running the program. I see major problems for the Buffs this week.

    As far as firing Hawkins, I say let him be. He'll get better over time. Hopefully they get a win this week and Bohn extends his contract till 2014. He's a great person and a great ambassador for the University of Colorado. You wouldn't get that with McCartney or Barnett. Both were far too smug.

    Once Dan gets the kids he needs to play in the Big 12, he'll be real good. I hope CU doesn't ruin him as he's a good coach, just look at Boise.

    As I end each post, Go Big Red!

  2. Once he gets the players he needs??? He's been there 3 years!! Kids he recruited his first year would be RS sophomores or juniors by now. And noone lets a better underclassman sit on the bench just so a senior can play anymore. So clearly, that falls into the 'excuse' column.
