But, when football players who spend the majority of their time lifting heavy objects and slamming into each other nervously laugh when asked about Fairchild's intensity, you've got to believe that he's grooving a newer and meaner culture into the program.
We can't lose; Fairchild will not let it happen.
Are the Buffs looking past us? Probably. They play the No. 8 team in the nation, West Virginia, at home two weeks after the Showdown. (On a side note, the Buffs are warming up for the WVU game with us and Eastern Washington, which is kind of like getting ready for hole 18 at Torrey Pines with 36 holes of Fort Fun putt-putt and a drunken round at City Park Nine. Only in Boulder... I hope Bill Stewart wipes the floor with Dan Hawkins' mop top.)
Are there a lot of ifs involved with us winning? Of course. If … Gartrell Johnson and Kyle Bell can manage to be good in the same game (or the same season, for that matter). If … Billy Farris can remember whether Kory Sperry is going to run a hook or an out AND get the ball to him. If … in the next two days, we can keep our specialty players (long snapper, place kicker, punter) out of contact drills and out of a cast.
All of this is exceedingly possible. So when you make the journey to Denver, be prepared to throw a "scoreboard" chant around and say you saw it coming all along.
