While pulling together a blogpost about which true freshman is most likely to start at CU (see link) , I realized I made a startling omission. I had completed a Hello! post for every freshman — except London Merritt. Well, consider this my mea culpa to Mr. Merritt. We are now 12 for 12 with

CU fans, it’s time we have a tough talk about the state of high school football recruiting. But first, a disclaimer that I’m 99% certain most fans will not remember by the end of this post — this is not a panic post. BuffsBlog is not panicked about the state of the program. In fact,

The Curse of the Bambino (Boston Red Sox). The Curse of the Billy Goat (Chicago Cubs). The Madden Curse (Team Agnostic). Curses are everywhere in sports. These curses can be rooted in events like a fan being ejected with his goat, a team selling a star player, or a player appearing on the cover of a
