After CSU lost again in football this weekend (a game I couldn't nor cared to watch), I was all set to do another depressing blog before inspiration formed in the CSU basketball team.
In just two games (alebiet exhibition), they have already gotten more wins than the football team. Ironic, as it was just a couple of years ago the basketball team was so depressing football was discussed right on through their season.
CSU struggled with new schemes and new players early in both exhibition games, but put away Regis and destoyed Chadron State in the second half.
Though they aren't exactly signature wins, Regis also clung with Wyoming, and at least they didn't pull a Michigan State.
The Rams only return two players from last season, and but they have a lot of young talent, especially in freshman Josh Simmons and Andre McFarland.
The best thing about CSU is their coach Tim Miles, who is, right now, the polar opposite of Sonny Lubick (who I have discussed ad naseum). He is an up-and-coming coach with tons of energy and he isn't afraid to light a fire under his team. Unlike CSU's previous coach, the incompetant Dale Layer, he will have a team that improves over the course of the season, not one that stagnates.
So fans, get out to Moby and jump on the Miles Bandwagon, even if they go through some growing pains.
Because when success comes, you will want to be firmly entrenched to mock the newcomers lack of faith.
