BOULDER — Because baristas watch football, too, an old coaching pal offered Mel Tucker a sage piece of advice when it came to picking up his coffee once the autumn temps start to cool.
“He said, ‘If you’re not winning, and if fans don’t like you,’” Tucker, the first-year CU Buffs coach recalled, “‘just pay cash.'”
Tucker laughed at that one.
“Right now, I’m using a credit card,” the Buffs coach continued. “I don’t pay cash.”
Right now, he’s that guy — and that’s cool.
