Coming into the 2016-17 season, some of us in CU media got a bit too hyped for our own good. Some idiot writer even predicted the Buffs would be 18-6 at this point in the season, finish the regular season at 24-7 and make a magnificent run in March to reach the Final Four. Of course, the Buffs have done slightly worse than that, and, of course, that writer was fired for gross incompetency*.
*This writers claims that he was being overly optimistic (perhaps even humorously optimistic) because it kinda worked when he did it for the football team.
