Does Colorado just hate Nebraska and Nebraska fans?
I have never seen students/people throw things and hate the opposing team so much.

**mike** · 11-26-2005

They have done that crap for awhile now,but usually not to that extent.

shutterbug · 11-27-2005

The very best part of this, they did it on national TV and now everybody can see the true Colorado fan!!!!!!!!!!!

I could not agree more shutterbug, that to me was much better then watching the ASS KICKING Colorado got....I have been to Colorado for a Nebraska CU game( the 62-36 ass kicking they gave the huskers in 2001 and they were just as bad then as they were on Friday),..... I talked with a friend of mine during the game and she they had to get some people to escort them out of the stadium, she said it was pretty ugly and the fans were pissed.

I will say this too I have never been a Clanahan fan .....but I was impressed at the game plan they used to defeat Colorado. nice job...

Barnett safe as CU hurts its image
By Mark Kiszla
Denver Post Staff Columnist

Boulder - The home of the Buffaloes was turned into a pigsty, as Folsom Field was littered with garbage and embarrassment during Colorado's 30-3 loss to Nebraska.

Wasn't Mike Bohn hired as athletic director to clean up this mess?

But here's news for knucklehead CU fans who have a lot to learn about winning and class.

Bohn came to Colorado to change the university's sports culture, not to fire the football coach.

Gary Barnett's job is safe.

"Why would we make a coaching change now?" Bohn told me Saturday, in his most definitive statement that Barnett will receive a contract extension, the subject of much speculation since scandal rocked the football program nearly two years ago.

"Think about this: CU can't afford to buy him out. The school had $10 million in football ticket sales this year. And the team is outright champions of the Big 12 North Division again."

If Barnett was going to be fired, the time to do it was when he was placed on administrative leave early in 2004.

Bohn has chosen to judge Barnett on how his coach has taken responsibility for success and failure by the Buffs on the field and in the community since being reinstated.

Unless Barnett decides to walk away, he will be welcomed back on the CU sideline for years to come.

As terms of employment, I would demand Barnett tie a hefty portion of his salary to incentive clauses and strongly suggest he dismiss ineffective offensive coordinator Shawn Watson.

But Bohn said the announcement of Barnett's contract extension is primarily a matter of timing, so as not to detract from the conference championship game or a bowl trip.

Despite choking against the Cornhuskers, it was the ugly performance of unruly fans during the humiliating loss that disturbed Bohn most Friday.

Buffaloes behaving badly in the stands was a disgrace to sportsmanship, their school and the state.

"Some knuckleheads proved we have a long way to go to change the perception of this university around the country," Bohn said. "Rightly or wrongly, the University of Colorado is perceived as not user-friendly to our visitors, it doesn't travel well to football bowl games and it has a lot of work to do to become the class of the Big 12 Conference. We have a lot of issues to get our arms around."

Folsom Field was uncivil. Unsafe. Unclean. And football again trashed the reputation of a great university.

Not once, but twice during the game, a spectator jumped the railing and, without being halted by CU stadium security, ran across the field. Given the violence that has erupted in recent years at a baseball park in Chicago and a basketball arena in Detroit when the line between athletic participants and paying customers was crossed, this stupidity can no longer be dismissed as a silly college prank.

Bad went to worst in the fourth quarter, when disorderly jerks in seats reserved for CU students pelted the field with garbage - bottles, pompoms, anything not bolted down.

Referees were forced to stop the game for 10 minutes as peace was restored. Police cleared two sections of the stadium, but not before a TV network broadcasting the scene nationwide caught another "Animal House" moment for an institution that wants to be taken more seriously than a mindless party school.

Bohn said: "We need to ask: Why didn't we have Gary Barnett get on the microphone and ask them to stop? Or use a player to do the same thing and show this behavior was not acceptable?"

The stupidity was an insult to the seniors on the team who have worked so hard and lived so strong to scrub clean the program's image.

For too long, being a CU diehard has meant never having to say you're sorry.

Alums have scapegoated Buffs-bashers for a decline in recruiting fortunes, rather than acknowledge Barnett's nasty old habit of chasing off high-profile recruits such as Craig Ochs and Marcus Houston in disgrace. The chronic, destructive tendency to throw players under the team bus is the No. 1 reason why I once advocated the coach's removal.

Did you notice Barnett took full responsibility for the Nebraska loss? Bohn did.

Former CU football stars who turned a blind eye to the football program's real problems and cried witch hunt allowed themselves to get buffaloed by Dick Tharp, whose seven years of benign neglect as athletic boss left a mess for Bohn.

Students who don't pay attention except when the Huskers hit town cannot comprehend why the Buffs have averaged a mediocre seven victories and five defeats since 1999.

Of course, you cannot spell "excuse" without a CU.

That garbage must stop. That is the culture Bohn must clean up. Folks who truly love the Buffaloes will stop whining, grab a broom and get to work.

Nice article.

**ob1** · 11-28-2005

Thanks, Al. Nice find.

dkptiger · 11-28-2005

I thought Tirico who was calling the game did a good job of trying to put down the students on national television. We all know its probably not a testiment to all Buff fans, but it has to hurt their image. TnT were saying husker fans do it too...which I have gone to 4 games this year and saw a water bottle thrown once out of the student section...but in some peoples minds one is as bad as 100. Basically, I could never see things getting out of control in Lincoln like they did in Colorado.

I really felt bad for good Colorado fans because this was a game the whole country watched (those who cared) and people will have a bad impression. I am suprised they cleared the section and didnt just penalize them...kind of fueled the fire i think.

**mike** · 11-28-2005

I think they wanted to end the situation the fastest,and just clearing the whole sections was the only way to do it.Penalizing them would have fueled the fire.That wouldve just made them madder.Kicking them out may make them madder but they are mad outside.

dkptiger · 11-28-2005

i suppose thats a good point, that its better to have fans get more upset outside the stadium. overall it was a mess though, and i cant beleive that things got that out of control, even if it was one small section of students. ive been to concerts and games where security guards jump on you if you even consider standing in the aisle or taking a picture. in terms of saftey, you need to be able to prevent things like that. what would have stopped the students from just storming the field??

thank god the average age at husker games is a young 72 years old.

**mike** · 11-28-2005

That is pretty close.I was at the K-State game.And there wasn't but maybe 6-7 of us that could actually make the trip onto the field without oxygen.

chriss · 11-29-2005

Best line of the the game, "Those fans are idiots. Morons."

Thanks ABC for the truth.

shutterbug · 11-30-2005

Nice article, glad to see people in Colorado realize they need to make some changes.

Liquidsteel · 11-30-2005

I went to a game in Boulder back in the early eighties, when I was a teenager. During halftime, my freinds and I were walking back to our seats with hotdogs, sodas, etc. when I was doused with beer by two drunken idiotic CU fans. The adult that was with us, went and got one of Boulder's "finest". When we explained our situation and asked to press charges, the officer looked at the scoreboard (I don't remember the exact score, but we were killing them) And the officer said "I guess you'll go back to Nebraska smelling like beer", and asked us to move along to our seats. I am now a fan of Oklahoma Sooner football (Totally diffent story) and I love to see any team destroy and humiliate CU. Their fans took care of the humiliation last friday.
Do they still allow alchohol at that stadium?

**mike** · 11-30-2005

At CU stadium? No. They stopped that a couple years back.

zzzzzzs · 12-01-2005

long time lurker here. I just think the Colorado student section was just misunderstood. <sarcasm>

**mike** · 12-01-2005

2ox · 12-02-2005

Its not just the culture of the University, its the culture of the entire state. They have always thought there shit doesnt stink from day one. I think its the lack of oxygen, and how it effects the barin stem. It apparently shrinks it to the size of mikes penis.

luv ya mike!!

**mike** · 12-02-2005

Hey,they dont call you "puddin' head for nothing.

I agree........high elevation + alchohol + whatever else = crazy people

Hmmm, Barnett may be leaving?
