Maybe this gives the players motivation to help their coach keep his job. They may be playing like they have nothing to lose. I don’t like playing teams with nothing to lose.
Fired or not, I like the distraction. A tough team in this situation would remain unfazed, but I don’t think Colorado is that team this year. Regardless, we should NOT take them lightly. Heck, treat this game like it’s the Sugar Bowl against Alabama.
