It’s a Tuesday morning here in Colorado, the early signs of summer setting in with a sky dotted with the occasional cloud and my allergies clearly affecting my driving. There’s one part of this drive, from Denver to Boulder, I never interrupt.
Seeing the Rocky Mountains, in particular, the Flatirons, rise from the Boulder Valley below never fails to floor me. A view like this one, like former Colorado football head coach Bill McCartney so often sold, can change one’s course in life. It can fundamentally shift how you view the world, your world.
With regard to how I view the Colorado football program now, not the one run by McCartney or anyone after him before Mike MacIntyre, the view you see above this article has the same effect.
