Analysis of the Colorado Football Debacle

CORRECTION: I called the Broncos whippin' at the hands of the Dolphins a "mitigated disaster," which...could be somewhat true, but I intended to say, "unmitigated disaster," which I think is a more appropriate description of Sunday afternoon for Denver.

In this episode, I spend a little time reflecting on the state of football in Colorado. This includes an autopsy the NFL's Denver Broncos were literally stampeded at Hard Rock Stadium yesterday by the Miami Dolphins, 70-20!

The pro football franchise is on life support as it crawls out of the stadium's crevice in hopes of finding a victory in winless Chicago next weekend. While a somber podcast episode (for Colorado fans), it does provide glimmers of hope with fair-minded perspective on what remains possible in this still-early football season for both the CU Buffaloes who got trounced Saturday by the Oregon Ducks (as expected) and the hapless Broncos.

Also, Colorado State got its first win against Middle Tennessee State! Yay!
