Sunday Rips, part deux

Questions I ask myself

That was not the Oklahoma of old Colorado lost to, 24-3. What would the score have been with Rhett Bomar and Adrian Peterson suited up or simply Peterson?

Is it interesting that CU is losing most of its' games on offense and not defense, with the tradition of playmakers in its' history?

Does anyone else have a headache simply from watching the thumping that Thaddaeous Washington, Terry Washington (picture), Jordon Dizon and Ryan Walters were doing last night? Wow! Sort of rude guests, weren't they?

Why would anyone want to be a punt returner when the gunners coming down the field can jump in your sleeping bag with you before you even catch the ball? Insane. Dangerous. Stephone Robinson could have been kissed as close as the OU players got to him. I would have dropped the ball, too. Wet myself, maybe.

What was OU doing, throwing the ball late in the fourth quarter with the game won? Bob Stoops is an outstanding recruiter and coach but with each passing season, I have less respect for him.

Did Dan Hawkins look bewildered to you on the sidelines most of the evening? Who wants to break the news to him, that he's not in Boise anymore?

And to think, Hawkins knows something about offense, yet this season is one he will try to hide on his resume, don't you think?

I think offensive lineman Brian Daniels being called for a rare penalty last night is akin to a coach getting a technical, to shake his team from lackadaisical play. Nice idea, Brian, too bad it didn't work and too bad it cost the Buffs a nice gain on the play. By the way, I'm JOKING.

The Buffs could have had Walter Payton or Jim Brown at running back last night and still wouldn't have been able to run the ball. So what did we expect of Hugh Charles and Mell Holliday?

Bernard Jackson has talent, no question, and has taken the high road in the media this season, but you get the feeling Hawkins is riding out the string with him, hoping his son is ready to play by next season. Or is that just me?

Do I need to submit an urinalysis?

Another look into the future for you.. CU has been recruiting big backs, last season and this year, and I'm seeing more of those types playing next season, with Charles being utilized elsewhere. Maybe the Keller Kid better practicing catching punts, kicks and passes in the offseason.

Did I pass the drug test?

Mason Crosby looks totally out of whack, right now, missing way more than a NFL kicker should. Think the pressure of him being so much a part of the offense and having to kick from the parking lot most games has him out of his normal rhythm.

The Kansas Jayhawks are not playing much defense nor are they winning games, but does CU have enough juice to take advantage of those shortcomings?

Which offense is worse? CU or the Denver Broncos?
