Please give credit where credit is due for the Saturday embarrassment at Folsom Field.

Boulder has been scammed twice this week by DA Mary! This timeshe can share credit with former President Betsy and a spineless Board of Regents.

If you plant a tree in your front yard do you fire the gardener 6 months later because it doesn't provide enough shade? A major college athletic program is based on recruiting #1 prospects and helping them develop over several years to eventually provide depth in the talent pool.

Major college programs consistently are able to recruit #1 prospects. Second tier and mid-major programs whether 1-A or 1-AA by class are able to recruit a mix of #1 and #2 prospects. Accordingly, early in the season a second tier program may be able to field enough front line talent to play competitive ball with a major college program. As the season wears on fatigue and injuries force every program to reach into the backups and the second tier programs are less likely to have the reserve strength to remain competitive.

For this reason alone it is unlikely to see a national champion emerge from the mid-major group of Universities. Or, in the case of CU it becomes difficult to remain a major college program under CU's Betsy based recruiting rules that make it extremely difficultto compete for #1 players.

Just like Wyoming folds for lack of depth at the end of most seasons, CU too couldn't maintain at season end last year for lack of depth. In both cases there was too much fall off in the ability of the reserve players to remain competitive.

CU this year should be playing primarily recruits from 2 and 3 years ago and it doesn't take a Nebraska grad to remember what the above named parties did to insure that CU would only be able to recruit #2's and #3's beginning2 or 3 years ago.

I suggest that everyone read Betsy's plan 2010 where she laid out her intent to replace all intercollegiate sports at CU with club sports by 2010. She knew that all she had to do was turn the sports into non-competitive programs and the fans would kill the programs for her. It looks like her plan is working.

In the movies a coach may be able to take a scruffy bunch of cast offs and instantly inspire them to be world champs. In the real world perspiration and talent out weigh inspiration in achieving results.
