Last year, we lost 43-20 to Arizona and I didn't really care. I didn't really feel anything. Last year at this time, I was more worried about the vote to defund the football team than I cared about wins or losses.
This year, I'm sad at losses. I feel like we can win every game we're in and it hurts when we don't. The simple fact that I care about wins and losses again for this team, makes me happy. The simple fact that we ALL care about this football team enough to actually post on a message board makes me happy, even when we disagree.
I'm happy that we are discussing all the things a real DI Power 5 football team's fans should be discussing. Recruiting, money, NIL, coaching calls, scheme, etc. I'm happy that we are discussing what changes we need to make to finish these 1 score games with a win. After all, there isn't much to discuss when you lose 43-20.
Putting this season into perspective for my own mental health is important because of the high expectations I put on this team. But I still believe. We aren't going to win 8 games this season. But I still believe. I still believe we are moving forward. I still believe in the players we've brought in and the one's that stayed. I still believe in the plan, the recruiting, and the development. I still believe in the fans, even though some fans don't yet believe.
This season isn't over. I'm not giving up on 6 wins. But we can also look toward some great things coming in the future. Like a new scoreboard, a move to the Big 12 with more TV money, a fantastic recruiting class and another wild ride on the transfer portal roller coaster.
Again, the season isn't over, but thank you Coach Prime! I still believe!
Go Buffs! Shoulder to shoulder!
