The end might come sooner rather than later

Oh my, how much worse can it get?

New Mexico, Air Force, what's next?

The Lobos in the Pit, no easy task. The Academy under coach Biz, well prepared but CU is getting punked and honestly, youth or not, it's making coach Ricardo Patton's cries for a new contract and his surprising preseason resignation show how little faith he had in this team and himself.

The Buffs have black eyes and bruises and it isn't even in conference play.

84-46?

34 percent shooting from the floor? 42 percent from the line? No one in double figures?

And worse than that, 57 percent shooting by Air Force, including 52 percent from 3-point range?

Someone isn't even trying out there. No effort. No heart.

I'm not calling for it but it is becoming apparent Patton will not last the season on the bench. To get beat this bad out of the gate shows that Patton's stated fear of becoming a distraction to his team led to his abrupt resignation has come anyway.

The 2-9 football program is looking like its' in better shape than this team.

Patton is going to put the pressure on athletic director Mike Bohn to make a move sooner than the end of the season. Right now, it doesn't appear CU is capable of winning 10 games.

This winter might be the same as this fall. Groundhog day.
