Buffs & Bears

(From October 5th)

Friends of the Buffaloes,

A very wise man once said... "Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is interesting. What they conceal is vital!" Who was that wise man? Plato.

And if Plato were here today he would surely remark that while the Buffs are currently 0-5, they are the best 0-5 team in the country! At which point Plato would be punched in the face.

But you know what? Our bloody-faced Plato is right. Now I'm not saying that we're a good team. Not a polished product. But I must point out that our boys, in the midst of a rebuilding year, are giving everyone they play a tough time. We are not getting blown out by anyone. And we're actually just a handful of plays away from being 5-0 right now.

Sure we've got our problems, but these Buffs "Never Give In" and neither should you, friends. This week's match-up brings the Baylor Bears to town. These same Bad News Bears beat the Buffs in their last meeting 3 years ago. The good and the bad news is that that game is no longer in the record books as "most embarrassing loss ever." But what's important is that we have an opportunity to avenge that loss and turn around this lousy season by going out and beating the tar out of those guys.

So come on out to campus on Saturday, tailgate wherever it is that you people tailgate these days, rekindle that camaraderie and support your Buffs!

Go Buffs!
