Season Over

Well my friends, it was a rough one. Rebuilding is brutal but none of us expected 2-10. Thank goodness it's over.

In terms of immediate concerns, let's all cheer for OU in the Big XII Championship game. I want those damned Huskers to lose and lose badly. Don't bring that "support the division" crap. Anyone who thinks that we should have loyaly to a division, conference or whatever just is not paying attention. It does the Buffs no good whatsoever to have a North team (other than us, of course) win the Conference. As a matter of fact it does us some harm since it would strengthen the very team that we will need to beat next year to win the conference ourselves (more on that later). So shut up about that, OK?

Next issue - recruiting. The Buffs need a really solid class filling areas of need. For the most part, Hawk and staff are doing that. Lot's of O-linemen (including the best player in the state, Ryan Miller) have signed with us which is key. We also landed a couple of good QBs including a JC transfer. However, the one area that is the thinnest currently (WR) has not yet been addressed in recruiting. The good news is, the coaching staff won't be "distracted" during the month of December with silly things like conference championship games and bowl berths and will therfore have plenty of time to recruit some great receivers.

So relax Buff fans. Your suffereing is now over for this year. Take some time off to focus on other things like, I don't know, your job and family. Come back rested next year ready for the Buffs to improve significantly, eclipse .500, and make it back into the post season. The road to a confernce championship is likely many years long but we'll get back there. We will.
