Hulk01, great to see you back.
I watched the game even though I had to be up early that same morning. Worth it! I need the details of what happened at halftime -- schematic changes? Inspirational speech? Players stepping up and taking ownership?
I specifically didn't like what Coach Prime did with the CU roster. That was distasteful for the flagship state university of a proud state not bereft of football talent. A state university program roster ought to reflect the population that supports it.
The media glitz/glamour and arrogance is part and parcel of today's recruiting atmosphere that caters to 18-year old young adults. It is what it is, and I cannot let my distaste for Coach Prime's attitude/actions affect my opinion about his effectiveness at doing what he does to get results. He is clearly getting results above those of last year's CU program.
He is a very modern coach, no more and no less. Certain public attitudes against him seem to be thinly veiled shots attacking the culture to which he is appealing and recruiting.
Stanford took CU's best shots, turned around at halftime, and started throwing haymakers right back. One team didn't fold.
(Okay, I felt really bad for Shedeur right when the 2OT INT happened--a QB hurry leading to a desperation/lofted pass. It killed their chance at a FG, allowing Stanford to win with just a FG. The CU team battled hard. But I felt infinitely happier for Gilman and the Stanford team for doing what needed to be done to win. The never-say-die attitude is so rare and precious. It'll carry you out of the depths of hell if you let it. A 29-pt deficit at an away game is pretty hellish...well done Stanford, well done indeed.)
