It's a Scotty Kind of Day today.

Suddenly that beefy Non-Conference schedule looks very 3-and-1-able for CU.

CU Buffs' Scotty McKnight tired of losing - Boulder Daily Camera

Take away the catches, the yards, the touchdowns, the records, the notoriety. Heck, take away his playing time, too. ...the Colorado wide receiver would do it if it meant more victories, less drama and more fun for teammates and coaches during his career. McKnight needs three receptions to become the Buffs' all-time leading pass catcher.

"I always had confidence when I played, but I didn't know (success) would come this fast or it would turn out this way," McKnight said Wednesday. "I knew I didn't have the physical attributes that would scream 'five-star recruit.' But I just felt that I worked as hard as I could I'd find a way."

Saturday is Game Day in my world. It's probably because I spent all four years at CU in the Marching Band, where so much of what is done is structured around Saturday and the Football game. In keeping with yesterday's Buff Bites Title, and the Monday Poll Winner, allow me to dust off highlights of the 62-36 game. Apologies in advance for the captions, sadly it's the only highlight reel out there:

Go Buffs

Does Hawkins have the Stones?

Not sure Dan Hawkins has the stones to pull it off but potentially our last game with Nebraska might be this year in Lincoln. It sure would be nice to see the Buffs in their all black uniforms in Memorial Stadium. “What Ref, our road whites? Our equipment bus was robbed and our travel uniforms were stolen….But we have these beautiful black uniforms and the game must go on…..”
