The Defense Rests

The good news here is that CU's offense re-appeared last week versus Arizona.  The smashmouth style running game featuring Donta Abron and Christina Powell pounded the ball and scored 31points, second most this season.  That fierce offense produced this memorable image.

CPow - helmetless and on his way to the endzone, Baby

The bad news is that the Buffs still lost by 25 points.

You're going into the endzone WITH your helmet?  Lame, bro.

Look, your mom and I didn't tell you this sooner because we thought it would make you super sad.  But the truth is that the entire CU defense died tragically in a bizarre scooter vs. street sweeper accident back in training camp.  Ever since, the team has fielded 11 scarecrows stuffed with Greg Brown's dirty socks, straw and sorrow.

They almost look human

However almost nobody in Colorado noticed because they've spent their fall leveraging the democratic process  - architected by the founding fathers and defended in war by our grandfathers - to legalize weed.



And that, apparently, will be the enduring memory of the autumn of 2012 in Boulder.  That is, if there is any memory at all.

Oh also, Buffs play Washington this weekend.  They also legalized weed.  Birds of a feather...
