Redemption Weekend For Broncos, Buffs.

On one weekend the Broncos and Buffs at least for a brief moment caused us joy as opposed to the nightmarish grief they had bestowed upon yes since the summer.

First my 3 thoughts on the Buffs win over Iowa State (The Broncos post will come Tommorow in the "Morning After Column".

1. The team looked more relaxed and loose and played like a team that knew how to win and hold their heads high for a change. The Buffs made smart decisions (i.e Running the ball with the lead in the 2nd half) and looked as good as they have all year.

2. Cody Hawkins must have had a rough week and how did he respond? He came out and flat out played the best game of his Buff career, many people in the media thought he would fold up but he didn't. It sold me on the fact that Cody is a great guy maybe not the best football player but a stand up guy who plays the game the RIGHT WAY for the RIGHT REASONS.

3. The Buffs could still somehow find a way into a Bowl game this year with wins over Kansas State this Saturday in Boulder (12:10 kickoff) and @ Nebraska in the last day after Thanksgiving game. The Buffs have played well in Lincoln The last decade and could shock the country if they pulled that game out a long shot to be sure but why not?
