This is unbelievable, but thanks to Colorado's poor play this year became possible. 10: Another sobering historic number out of the Big 12. Dating back to last season, Colorado has lost 10 games in a row. That ties the school record set in the 1963 and '64 seasons. 2: The Buffs' futility has created one statistical oddity. Brian White, who started the season as Colorado's backup quarterback, left the team just after they fell to I-AA Montana State. White transferred to Portland State, which, because it's a I-AA school, meant he was immediately eligible.
Last weekend, White completed 2-of-7 passes for 34 yards as the Vikings fell to -- you guessed it -- Montana State. Meaning White had managed to lose to the same team twice in the same season with two different schools. Those, by the way, two of just three wins for the Bobcats, who are working furiously to facilitate another transfer for White as we speak. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/column...t&lid=tab1pos3 | | |

Oh... my...

Deep within the heart of Iowa, a storm is brewing...
... the winds of change ripple throughout the vast fields of corn surrounding the small college town of Ames.
The Gene Chizik era of football continues, and, with it, a renewed attitude of pride, determination, and success.
This is Cyclone Football. | |

Please let Colorado win a game before we play them. I don't want to be that team that get's beat by Colorado. It would remind me to much of the Baylor has not won a road game in 10 years game we lost last year.

That is just screwed up. They need to start making guys sit out a year no matter where they transfer.

Oh man, don't say that Drew... b/c I can totally see it happening.. it would be so McCarney-esque to play to CU's level, and of course we don't know how many wins ISU will have b/f going to boulder, but I think it's their last home game and will rally to win one against someone they know they can play with. Who knows, maybe they'll upset TT this weekend....

He transferred to the wrong school.

Are there any Div 2 schools or prep schools on Montana State's schedule yet this season. Maybe he could transfer down again and be able to start in time to further solidify his name in the odd record book?????

Please CU win a damn game before 11/11. I hate always being on the short end of totally embarrassing losses!

That's what's so hard about being a cyclone fan. No game is a lock. Argh!! It would be nice to get the program to a point where you're 99% sure you'll roll over lesser opponents.

Today, still wanted by BCS teams, he survives as a coach of fortune. If you have a problem - if no one else can help - and if you can find him- maybe you can hire: Gene Chizik.
