5 Years Ago

It was 5 years ago around this exact time that we were all tracking planes as soon as the press release went out that the Joe Glenn era was over.

I remember watching Mizzou in the Big 12 championship game with pure excitement. I really thought that DC was going to bring that type of offense and success to Laramie.

The quote I think we all remember best from his introductory press conference was "Winning is fun. Losing sucks." President Buchanan sent a warning to TCU, BYU, and Utah... Look out, we're coming for you.

After switching all the uniforms, the way the program operates, and the success in the first season, I thought big things were really ahead.

2011: When ACS left I thought we were doomed. However I think we all truly believed we had turned the corner and there were comparisons to the blue print of Boise State.

Obviously each of the past two years has been a major disappoint but nothing bigger than this year. In my mind, there was no way we would be any worse than 7-5.

Needless to say, tomorrow and the rest of the week will be interesting. I feel like it's 2008 replaying itself all over again!
 
Seriously...DC being hired meant we were getting an offense!
Year 1: NM Bowl victory, and some gritty wins throughout the year including the Boot!
Year 2: Okay, some hurdles in the way, but a 44-0 Border War win.
-ACS LEAVES-
Year 3: Brett Smith almost leads us to the MWC title showing year 2 was a fluke, we have a great QB, screw ACS, and next season is our year!
Year 4: Shit the bed again BUT "What if Brett Smith had played in all the games?!, next season is our year FOR SURE especially with a DOWN mwc".
Yeah 5: Yeah about that, year 3 was the fluke, not year 2 or 4.


I am putting ALL my brown and gold enthusiasm into hoping DC is gone and there is no year 6, but rather a year 1 of someone else.
