Yes We Can Part 2

Tomorrow I will be making my second trip of the week to Invesco Field at Mile High.  This time, instead of watching Obama-mania, I will be cheering on my beloved Buffaloes as they face the Rams in this instate classic.  Despite CU's historic dominance of this match-up, in recent years the games have been close with several stunners and streaks on both sides.  In light of the parody of the last decade, a prediction is order.

While both sides have a lot of new faces, including the highly touted CU running back recruit, Darrell Scott, it is the Rams who have completely revamped their leadership with both a new head coach in Steve Fairchild and a new starting QB in Billy Faris.  The Buffs will have substantial advantage as coach Dan Hawkins has had three years to develop his program up in Boulder, while CSU will be starting a new chapter after the impressive 15-year tenure of Sonny Lubick.  In the end, I predict that, while both squads will struggle to stop the run, CU will defeat CSU 34-21 and Ralphie V will perform flawlessly in her official debut.


GO BUFFS!  YES WE CAN!!!
