GENIUS WATCH: BARNETT AND A MONTH OF BLOWOUTS

I’m going to spend the whole day giggling, like a girl, at that picture.

You guys forgot the best part of Barnett and and the month of blowouts. After CU beat Missouri on 11/5 Barnett was mouthing off about CU’s ranking and how they deserved to be rated higher and basically how they were getting screwed. Of course CU then went on to finish the season losing 30-16; 30-3 and 7-3.

Ha!

Gary Barnett is an idiot. Being a Nebraska fan, I truly enjoyed seeing his team and their program get thoroughly embarrased by Nebraska. He said that Nebraska running a hurry up offense with 1:30 on the clock at the end of the first half was an insult to his team. I hope he gets fired.

As a Husker fan, you should hate, he put you in the situation where you currently sit, which, regardless of your win against Colorado, is not a good sitation at all. That being said, tis time for Gary to head elsewhere.

I was at the Big 12 championship game Saturday. Being a devoted Longhorn fan, I must admit, how incredibly embarrassing for CU to have maybe 100 fans (and I’m including the band) in the crowd. Barnett is a joke and Joel Klatt is a wimp. The only bowl they deserve is the potty bowl.

Dear Kim,
Klatt is far from being a wimp. Not even a bull-dyke like yourself could take the abuse he has received the past 3 years.

Gary never should’ve left Northwestern. We would’ve praised him for a 7-4 year. He was loved in Evanston, and even had a resteraunt named after him.

We hate him here too. He told us he wasn’t leaving, and then he left..

He could’ve been the biggest college football legend in Chicago, but now; as his career is going down the toilet he will always be remembered as scum.

Kim—Joel Klatt, like most people, has a brain that doesn’t respond well to a sudden, focused impact of several hundred pounds moving quickly being applied to it. Wimp would probably not be the word we’d use to describe him; how about, “concussed.”

And UTerus, even if Kim is a bull dyke, we’d like to remind you that we here at EDSBS love bull dykes—given the choice, they’d rather sleep with women. We have to agree with their taste there.

I cannot stand the CU Buffs. And I think that Gary Barnett is a horrible coach. I hope he stays there forever. -Kim, you should stay out of sports analogies and keep your butt in the kitchen. Joel Klat is one of the toughest quarterbacks I have ever seen. With the amount and type of hits that he took this year, I am amazed he is still alive.

I haven’t been reading him this year, but if Reilly hasn’t been using the name Eleanor Roosevelt for his by-line, then he’s the real wimp here. You make a bet, you pay the piper, Eleanor.

Petey how about you grow up & get your sexist ass in the kitchen!

Exactly, Al. Both genders are entitled to get their own quality take-out, right?

I am not a CU fan but what Barnett has done since the B.S. media storm that took place the last 18 months is incredible. What Barnett should have said during the faitful press attack what that the woman (not girl) was and is not fit to kick at division one level football. Take her efforts to a community college or Divison lll league. What Barnett said about the woman kicker was true and anyone who has a clue about football agrees.

CU has a great coach and if they do not want him a lucky university will pick him up.

I am a big fan of Gary Barnett. Without him, my Badgers might never have gotten Calhoun to transfer. Thanks Gary!!! We could use a few linebackers next year, got any future 1st rounders riding the pine that you wouldn’t mind sending our way?

I can’t wait to see Clemson clobber Colorado. It won’t even be close.

Dear Mr. Fletch,
Aside from enjoying your movie (it was the last year I liked the Lakers and your jersey choice did me in), I seriously hope you aren’t serious with your comment.

Barnett is an embarrasment to College Football.

I hope he ends up at SDSU as he and the lowlifes that are that program deserve each other!

Too bad this isn’t the NFL or CU might be in the Reggie Bush lottery. As it stands Barnetts’ biggest crime was bad recruiting, likely due to the ethics and recruiting scandals that he perpetuated. Bad recruiting was a mix of continued mediocrity over the last decade (which doesn’t sound too bad right now) along with errors in the administration, athletic department, and coaching staff. Barnett has been average and actually has done a decent job considering the lack of talent in the program. CU has already replaced the president of the univeristy and the athletic director and Barnett should be next to leave.

To all of Husker Nation…Stop crying cause Calahan and Nebsraska have been the joke of college football for the past two years…remember when Barnett and the Buffs beat the piss outta Nebraska and the Huskers have been in a downward spiral ever since…hah, that was awesome!

Loooooooooooooser.

UTerus,

Not sure what led you to jump to the conclusion that I’m a “bull-dyke”. Maybe because a woman left a comment about a male dominated sport? There are a lot of women that like this sport that DON’T sleep with other women. So, I’m not real sure what made you feel the need to attack something you know nothing about unless you yourself are unsure of who you are in that department, however, I could care less if you choose to sleep with a man or a woman. My comment had nothing to do with that. Just expressing an opinion on a football team that has had on going problems for a while. And it starts with the coach. Bottom line. And I think they will get pounded again when they play Clemson.

Quality response, Kimberly. And please, get more women into football—perhaps distributing Holly Robinson Peete’s “Get Your Own Beer, I’m Watching the Game” at random on the street. It even has a section on the finest man asses in football.

Mr. Barnett is not a bad coach. Look at his record at Northwestern. Lets face it Boulder, Colorado is a very unique place to begin with. Recruiting scandal is not his fault. Blame the alumini. lets not forget Cu vs. Neb. in Nov. 2001 . Is that win Mr. barnett’s fault ? The " lets blame Mr. Barnett club ", needs to go to Pearl St. Mall and drink several gallons on coffee and become one with nature.
As with many sports events, sometimes you need to sharpen your pencil and start over. have a nice day! from South Dakota

You all sound like homo’s and lesbos, so you should all get together and “make sweet love down by the fire.” Make sure the women cook and the men make the fire so you have some semblance of normal American. The Buffs stink, so WHO CARES.

We’re fucking your normal American wife in the ass as we speak, Jackson. Thanks for trolling!

The Buffs stink. This is not a news flash. But the lady who referred to Joel Klatt as a wimp is setting the female movement back 20 years. Hey Kim, the Buffs will probably get pounded by Clemson. Also, if a 300 lb missile smokes you upside the head, you will be a drooling windowlicker. Stick with watching the View, and leave the football analysis to those with a knowledge of the sport.

Seasons Beatings.

As a recent CU grad, I was there through both the good, the great and the very bad. Barnett is good coach, as many have pointed out with his previous work at Northwestern and winning the Big XII, but he is not a sustainable coach. He is great at turning around a program but then has trouble maintaining it. That being said, who else is CU going get? It’s not like the university is a hot commodity with a plethora of young minds looking to go there. The off the field player issues are not his fault, but they are his responsibility. I thought he would be fired a few years ago when it first broke, but he has endured and done fairly well (as in winning the North 4 out of 5 even though it is a weak division). His recruits are pretty respectible everywhere except at CB. Phil Jackson anyone?

Barnett should’ve been fired after he lied under oath. That was the time to fire him and start fresh, but Old UCB got a couple of 7 wins seasons out of him after that of course both came with absolute butt-kickings in the championship game.

I wish him well as the Vikings to party coordinator.

I’d say some of you are kinda right. Barnett is a decent coach — he just can’t recruit. Heck, Mack Brown called him the best coach in America. He also inherited a lot of garbage from Rick Neuheisel, THE WORST COACH IN AMERICA. Also, check your facts because there ended up being a lot of substance to the “scandals,” at least not in a way that deserved the spotlight the way they did (ESPN, you should admit to being Rather-like selective). Didn’t/doesn’t anyone go to a liberal, Berkeley-like school that hated/hates athletics? I went to school in the South and have worked at two athletic departments down here. To say CU committed scandals would be a slap in the face to, say, a school like Miami (not naming any names).

I agree on the folks who call Klatt tough — I’ve had to watch a lot of film on him and the man is very tough. By the way he’s just left the hospital and probably will miss the bowl game.

Too bad CU can’t fire him and hire a Mariucci. I think that would get them back to the days of McCartney, for sure.

I meant to say there was not a lot of substance to the “scandals.” And garysaidheasked4it, Barnett did not lie under oath. He would presently be in jail and not on the sidelines. You must be a law school drop-out.

No, Barnett didn’t exactly lie under oath…but he didn’t exactly tell the full truth, either.

I’ll say this clearly: I hate Barnett. He seems like a remorseless, unapologetic Homer Simpson (though less loveable). But working with the media and seeing how all of this transpired has given me strong opinions on the matter. Thanks for the link, Orson Swindle (but it’s kind of old). The testimony was leaked, it does not in any way show Barnett actually lied (in fact, it shows he acted like a semi-sexist football coach, which hardly differentiates him), and in fact there was no follow-up reporting on any of the loose ends in the article. By the way, how are those lawsuits going? I think once the football camp investigation reports are disclosed, and Barnett virtually guarantees there will be no damning evidence, the man should be left well enough alone. Coaching I-AA, of course. Northern Colorado has an opening.
