It’s no fun being a college football fan on the Front Range these days. You’re better off spending Saturday at the supermarket than in the stands.
It wasn’t always this way. Remember fall camp, when optimism reigned? Colorado was set to defend its Pac-12 South Division title, Air Force was looking to build off six consecutive victories to end the 2016 season and Colorado State fielded a veteran roster many believed would produce a Mountain West championship.
But Week 10 of the college football season was a reminder of how much has gone wrong.
• Colorado led at Arizona State by 10 points at three different stages Saturday night, including early in the fourth quarter, with bowl eligibility in reach.
