8:20AM: Sit down at desk. Check email. Save any from the AD’s office about a pool UofWash boosters want to start on the day you’ll be fired. You’ve got an extra $20K to spend & you think you have the inside track on the day you’ll be cleaning your desk out.

You call Mulligan Barney on his cell. He only laughs at you & remarks, “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Only you, Ricky could get my program’s problems off the front page here in Colorado. Thank you!” You tell him you may be calling him for a position job soon if he doesn’t mind. Barney can’t quit laughing.

2:35PM: Call your mom back using a fake voice & tell her that Rick is a great coach & deserves a 2nd chance. Remind her that you….’er Rick is a damned snappy dresser too. Your mom just can’t quit laughing. Wipe your tears as you hang up.

Title: Big Announcement Confession

Since you are the real die-hard fans, I thought I'd give you an advance on the big news forthcoming.

I'm not actually Jon in L.A., but Bill in Seattle. I never finished college, but have been quite successful with a little company I started called Microsoft. Over the years I've grown fond of college football and adopted CSU as my favorite team, thanks to Thur. night games on ESPN (I used to play D&D on those nights). I've been secretly taking extension classes at CSU over the internet (using the great MSN service) and am graduating this week with a degree in computer science. Hopefully this should help me if I need to get a new job.

In thanks, I am gifting the school with $20 Billion. Steve Ballmer is griping that I should give it to UW, but what they hey... I've still got $40 Billion and I can't take it with me. Here's where some of the funds will be allocated:

- Men's teams will continue to be called the Rams. Women will be Roms.

- Stadium 2.0 will be built, sponsored by Xbox. A massive, WIFI-enabled stadium will be installed on campus, including retractable roof, surround sound, hundreds of iLoos, and massive flat panel

scoreboards running reruns on Windows Player. In addition, free Pabst Blue Ribbon for GRC members.

- A new Moby arena will be built, each seat having a USB port and cable modem. The arena will be designed on the XP platform, which has fewer crashes.

- The new PowerPoint training room will feautre the latest fitness equiptment, including rowing lake.

- The Excel .com bubble will provide year-round, all-weather indoor practice facilities for all sports teams.

- The Melinda Gates Lacrosse Arena will provide the club with Div. 1 status, including complete funding.

- The Outlook Ballpark will be built specifically for softball and a new fully-funded baseball team.

- Free tuition for students, plus generous expense accounts made available at preferred bars, the pickle barrel and comp beer from New Belgium.

- We were going to buy CU and shut them down, but due to anti-competative litigation, we'll just copy everything they do well, invest 12x the money and kill them with better marketing.

- The new Ft. Collins FlightSimulater(TM) Airport will be expanded, allowing low-cost airlines such as Southwest to provide easier access and cheap flights for those wishing to travel to and from Colorado.

- Dude, every student is getting a Dell.

We hope that this makes your day. Go Rams!

Thanks, Bill & Melinda

P.S. We bought a 51% share of the BCS.

Title: Bohemian Rhapsody?

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

We got new scoreboards,

A new dose of reality

Open your eyes, Look up to the new sky boxes

I've got a cold beer, I need no cup of tea,

Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,

Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

…cause I’m already pickled

Mama, just became a Ram,

Bought a ticket at the stile, and a hot dog in the aisle

Mama, life has just begun,

But I spent my book funds on the G-R-C

Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry,

But it’s worth it just to watch Houston

Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Kickoff, the time has come,

Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time

Goodbye, kicking team, Wynn’s got the ball

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,

I simply want watch football all my life

I see a little silhouetto of a Ram,

Giant Balls, Giant Balls, more than any other mascot

And there are CU’s cheer guys, very, very fright'ning me

(Sonny Lubick) (Sonny Lubick) (Sonny Lubick’s on his field)

Magnifico

I'm just a poor boy who wants a beer in the 4th quarter

He's just a poor boy who wants a beer in the 4th quarter

Spare him a beer from this monstorous rule

Easy come, easy go, will you sell me one beer

Bismillah! No, we will not sell you beer

(Sell him beer!) Bismillah! We will not sell you beer

(Sell him beer!) Bismillah! We will not sell you beer

(Gimme beer) Will not give you beer

(Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Ah

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me go

The FCPD has a ticket put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can mess with the Knights of the Green & Gold?

So you think you can fight our Stalwart Rams down the fold

Oh, baby, can't do this to us, baby,

You just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta Lubick Field

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,

Nothing really matters,

Nothing really matters to me

Cause I’m passed out. East stands. 12th row.
