Don’t believe all the hype on pods and just try to enjoy the games. Their expectations are always too high. LB’s were supposed to be awesome and they aren’t.

Basketball I think we have a realistic chance/hope for such a run. Basketball is somewhat unique in sports in that all you need is one great player, surround them with two or three very-good players and some willing/capable role-players, get the right tourney draw when you're healthy and hot and you can do some things.
Compare to football where basically the whole team has to be good or else you're probably not going to be very good. You could take the best QB and put them on the worst team and they're still pretty bad.
Post game win expectancy was 68.4%, meaning if we play that game 100 times and both teams generate the same stats each time we would win 68 to 69 of them.
In the KSU game, our post game win expectancy was only 23.1% but we won that one. Every other game so far, the pgwe has aligned with the actual result.
SDSU, 100%
Iowa, 74%
Ark St, 99.1%
Arizona, 99.7%
Cincy, 0.8%

I love how the CU steward goes after our player like it's his fault that student is a giant POS who's planning for Daddy to make sure nothing will ever happen to him.
I had a wide range of interactions with CU fans on Saturday. Some were great, others were pretty awful. Not necessarily shocked by this video
Its based on the stats that both team put up in the game. The key is what happens if the same stats are generated over and over. So not only is it 100 games, but its 100 games where they average 8 yards per play and we average 5.5. If you arrive at those kinds of discrepancies, no matter how you get there, you are not likely to win.
I would have been ok with Chase taking his helmet and beating the living f out of that kid with his helmet.
I’ve been 3 football games and 1 basketball game in Boulder and fortunately never had any issues. But CU fans definitely have a reputation. From what I’ve gathered it’s mainly (not always) the students that misbehave.
Have some Husker fans in the family that have vowed to never go back to a game at Folsom. Granted, that’s a bit nastier rivalry than anything with ISU, but still.
I do agree that was probably a bottom 5 percentile performance by ISU, so in 100 games played "from scratch" we should win half.
That particular metric is useful to determine if one team really outplayed the other or if they just "got lucky." If you win but have a low post game win expectancy, it means you got outplayed in the things that correlate strongly with winning.
Half of the hok roach trolls, claim ISU is broke and cant keep up with them in their B1G superiority, The other half claim we have billionaires funding us causing us to continue to beat them.
These morons cant make up their minds what excuse they use.
