The Perfect Friday Buff Bites

Could today have been a more perfect day in Colorado? If someone told me that the weather would be like this every single day for the rest of my life I would be a very, very happy man. Onto the Buffs...

The opening paragraph in Ringo's story about the new relationship between new Offensive Coordinator Eric Kiesau and CU Quarterback Cody Hawkings and Tyler Hansen sums up the collective expectations of Buff Nation perfectly:

Colorado quarterbacks Cody Hawkins and Tyler Hansen both expect to be much more involved with developing offensive game plans next season after their initial discussions with new offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau.

I'm not going so far as to say that I am happy that Coach Helfrich has moved on (I'll leave that to you guys) but I know I'm not lying when I say that we are all excited about what the future holds.

Neil Woelk talks about Kiesau some more, hoping that the Coordinator change will be just what this offense needs to take the next step forward to respectability.

The Colorado Women's Golf team finished up the first round of their first ever NCAA Regional Tournament in 19th place. The tournament is being held at Arizona State's Karsten Golf Course in tempatures up to 107 degrees.

Tim Griffin hands out Spring Football helmet stickers and our favorite Buffalo unit made the list:

Colorado's running backs: Hard to single out one player as Darrell Scott (90 yards), Demetrius Sumler (73 yards), Brian Lockridge (55 yards) and Rodney Stewart (52 yards) all had big days in the Buffs' Black-Gold game.

I'm sure by now you have all heard about our favorite spiky haired quarterback Sam Keller and his asinine lawsuit against the NCAA and EA Sports. There's nothing more to be said so I'll let you read some commentary from his former teams here and here

Speaking of helmet stickers...

Did anybody notice that during the spring game some players had stickers on the backs of their helmets? There were goalpost stickers, footballs, mini buffs and other stuff. Anyone know if thats going to be a regular season thing where big plays or what not gets stickers?

really?

that’s terrible. Helmet stickers are fine, but not for us. I hated when we used to do it. Ohio State’s are great because they have blank helmets and use something other than their logo. Also, the junior baseball team I used to (assistant) coach utilized multiple helmet stickers on our batting helmets, and it looked like hell. We had different stickers for different good plays, and it just looked like a hot mess. If you must use helmet stickers, please just pick a sticker and stick with it. But really, I’m just in favor of giving all the players a sash like all the other little girls in the scouts if that’s what it takes to get motivated. 15 pieces of flair, people!

Regarding Keller’s lawsuit… um, you fail. These have been brought before, to no effect. The difference seems to be that Keller’s lawsuit mentions that EA Sports enables users to upload player names. But that’s not an EA issue- it’s an XBox 360 issue. These games are still made for, say, the PS 2, but you can’t upload player names. Although I definitely agree with the spirit of the suit, you probably want to start by trying to get an individual stipend rather than fight EA sports. No one in the world without the last name Keller bought that game in order to play Sam Keller.

And regarding Helfrich, um, I choose to follow our host. I wish Helfrich well while also believing that both parties are better off now. Oregon will be a considerable foe going forward.

Holy Crap

I did what I was told and read commentary from Corn Nation and this is what I got:

Keller should have his a$$ kicked for being a complete tool!!!! This is the equivilent of women going home with an athlete from a club and giving it up and then claiming they’ve been raped so they can collect a settlement. Sam Keller is an attention whore who couldn’t hold the jock of those quarterbacks he named in his gay lawsuit.

Stay classy, Corn Nation! good thing you used dollar signs instead of the letter S, otherwise it might have been offensive!
