When Colorado Buffaloes' head coach Mike MacIntyre took over for Jon Embree almost three years ago it was the beginning of a new start in Boulder. A new coaching staff, being part of a bigger conference, a dwindling fan base, and trying to scrap together a roster were some of the challenges facing the new look CU team. That chapter along with the past decade of trials and tribulations is hopefully starting to become history. It's going to take more than a win against Colorado State to paint the big picture for the skeptics who called for MacIntyre's resignation after the loss to Hawaii.
