Glory Glory

I talk sense condensed into the form of a poem
full of knowledge from my toes to the top of my dome
I'm kinda young, but my tongue speaks maturity
I'm not a child, I don't need nothin for security...

A few tidbits as we approach the one week mark until the glorious day that signifies the start of the college football season and our beloved Golden Buffaloes:

-Coach Hawkins named senior James Cox the starting QB this past week, rustling the feathers of some of the Buff Nation. Yes, Cox has been a average backup the past two years, and yes, he had a subpar Champs Bowl. But the way some Buff backers are acting, it's like Hawk selected Cox over John Elway, Otto Graham, and a cyborg mix of the Deep Blue computer and Joe Montana.

-Runningback Mel Holliday (no relation to Rockies slugger Matt Holiday) is working his way up the depth chart with his bruising style of running the football. Holliday is an interesting story; as he has five kids, lives in nebraska, and spent the summer as a welder to support his family. Thus, "The Welder" is born.

-Everyone knows there's no love lost between the sodbusters and Buff fans. Most of our neighbors to the East are good, respectable people. Like any fans, they have their lunatic fringe, it just seems like the Fusker fan lunatic fringe is a whole lot bigger than most other schools. Case in point right here.

-Former Slushy Gutter winner JL Smooth has been a frequent viewer of ESPN's "Summer House" in which six future D1 players go all "Real World" and compete versus one another. One of the players is no other than CU's frosh QB Cody Hawkins. JL was also quick to point out the resemblance of Cody Hawkins and tormenting big brother Wayne from "The Wonder Years." No word if Paul Pfifer will be playing wideout.
