Show Some Sac (State)!

Friends…

Another week in the football purgatory from which the Buffs have not yet emerged.

"Ray over there is the lucky one.  He died before he saw us lose to these fuckwits."

A painful loss to the Rams is humiliating, plain and simple.  A fact that will be repeatedly (and grammatically incorrectly) pointed out to us by our CSU friends and family.  At least until the next Monster Truck rally or tractor pull.

But, alas, the season is as young as the 3 true freshmen who will start in our defensive backfield this week. 

I have underpants older than Yuri Wright

The Buffs will make their 2012 Folsom Field debut against the Hornets of "Sacramento State University".  

It sounds made up because I don't think that Sacramento is a state.  But let's just assume that, in fact, Sacramento State University is a thing and possesses a football team that dares to enter Folsom Field.  The Hornets will meet an angry group of Buffaloes hungry for redemption.  The O line will have learned how to pass block, the receivers will have learned how to catch, the freshmen DBs will have learned their assignments, the punt returners will have learned how to get and hold the ball and the coaches will have learned to NOT call a sprint roll-out pass play to the back of the end zone with a gimpy, short quarterback on 4th and goal from the half yard line.

Learning.  It's why colleges exist, no?

And the Buffs will roll to a big win, 58-0.  Sorry Hornets, we've no time for compassion we are busy learning.

So come on out to dear old CU this weekend.  Don't let the anonymity of "Sacramento State University" keep you away.  Because if the last 8 years of mediocrity have taught you anything it's that winning cannot be taken for granted.  So don't miss an opportunity to witness it.  

And learning.  Value the learning.
