Message: [QUOTE="BuffaloHusky, post: 4666038, member: 1003"] I'm a Colorado grad and I was there for the early McCartney years. McCartney and Calhoun share a bunch of similiarites in creating an "us versus them" mindset and seeking out players with enormous chips on their shoulders but Boulder and Storrs aren't really comparable in quality of life. In fact, one of McCartney's biggest selling points was why would you want to live/play in Nebraska when you could be in Boulder. Sometimes, it worked as Colorado competed for three national champions and one won in the early 90's but Nebraska won two in a similar time period. The point is sometimes, kids just want to focus on getting better as Ray Allen once said and locations like Storrs, Waco and even Lawrence are less apt to provide the distractions of cities like Boulder, Austin, Chapel Hill, etc. [/QUOTE]
