Buffs shouldn't give up yet - The Longmont Times-Call
OK, so this may sound crazy. But, this is no time for the University of Colorado football team to give up.Yeah, things look bad right now. Really bad. On Saturday, the Buffs were crushed by 11th-ranked Oklahoma. It was their fourth straight loss, dropping them to 3-5 on the season. But, with four games to play, Colorado still has a chance to salvage something out of this season.
Up next is a road game at Kansas. The Buffs have now lost 16 in a row away from Colorado, but Kansas is dreadful and snapping that losing streak is a real possibility. After that, the Buffs have home games with Iowa State and Kansas State. Both of those are games the Buffs could win. Get the next three, and CU improves to 6-5 to become eligible before a trip to rival Nebraska to close the season.

It's Oregon, followed by Auburn, followed by three more ducks: Huey (Texas Christian), Dewey (Boise State) and Louie (Utah). We appear to have achieved, at last, inequality and injustice for all! That won't satisfy those who want the BCS brought to trial at the Hague, and that's fine, but the BCS has reached an important turning point.
What? More football after the jump? Outrageous!
