University of Colorado is content having the nations best cross country program.
Boulder isn't a football town.

Yeah I bet the players got up this morning and thought, "I'm cool with getting embarrassed on a regular basis since our cross-country team is really good."

They woke up and thought, "Thank goodness the XC team is so good here. Nobody in the community cares I suck so much at football. Thanks for the scholarship, Buffaloes!"

This was at the end of the first quarter.



I'm sure getting beat 40-0 by Vandy will bring more people out next week.

I am pretty certain many more people know about their putrid excuse for a D-1 football team than their cross-country team. The cross-country fans in Boulder Colorado might not care if the football team sucks, but everyone outside of those three people know Colorado as the hilariously bad football team.

Kentucky hosts FCS Samford in 2 weeks. Basketball season will be a week old. Samford is a decent FCS team, so it's not a given win for UK. Yesterday, they had 19,000+ against Vandy.

It might be the lowest crowd in modern-day SEC history. Possibly under 10K.

Reps


I didn't know they had fans either, its not really a spectator sport is it? I don't have anything against the sport and realize it takes a great athlete, but its not like track where you can watch the whole race.



Worst:
1) Colorado
2) Kansas
3) BC
4) Illinois

Colorado, by far. If the consultant CU supposedly brought in from Auburn can figure out a way around grade considerations, the university is rumored to be thinking about starting Ralphie.

Sad - it wasn't that long ago that the Buffs were a serious football power - Boulder isn't a football town, but Colorado is as serious a football state as any in the West. My thought is that they've never really recovered from sanctions a few years back, as the problems severed their traditional talent pipeline from Texas and Louisiana.

Joker Phillips out at season's end.
After much conversation, evaluation and prayer, I have determined that it is in the best interest of our athletics program to make a change in our football coaching staff at the conclusion of the season. I do so with a heavy heart for a man who has served his alma mater for almost 22 years as a player and a coach. Joker Phillips has carried the banner for the Blue and White with honor and pride. I have enjoyed working alongside him and am thankful for his friendship for the last decade. His concern for the entire program, his work and teaching of young people, his humanitarian work, and the friendship we all enjoy with him will long surpass the scoreboard. I want to thank him for all of those things on behalf of Kentucky.

The search for a new head coach will begin immediately and will be managed internally. I understand the challenge and significance of finding a new leader for our football program. It will be done with great concern for our student-athletes, students of the University of Kentucky, the Big Blue Nation and the citizens of the Commonwealth. Kentucky Football needs to be and will be a championship contender in the SEC.”

Agreed. They were fun to watch through the late 80's to mid-90's with Darian Hagan, Eric Bieniemy, Rashaan Salaam, Michael Westbrook......hell even Kordell.

Especially the part where God gave him cancer for banging the coach's daughter.
