Someone mentioned that Cutcliffe left for Ole Miss and skipped their Championship game, but Phat Fulmer(felt good to say that again), was an offensive coach. Coach Mac has the keys to the offense and he knows the position his absence would put us in. Coach Saban knows the philosophy and plays but probably not all the names. I just hope that Coach McElwain didn't miss out on a job he liked better because of the game, but I bet he wants to be there as much as we want him to be there. It's crucial to our success in the game. It's easy to throw out all the emotions involved and declare that he is now a Colorodo State property blah blah blah, but CJM deserves to call this game. Coaches always have to assume that there is a good chance that this may be the last opportunity to play on this stage. It's a win for him, Colorado State, our team, the game and us fans that he will be there. I hope they mention Colorado State a dozen times during the game and talk up how great of a coach he is, which they will. Every mention of Colorado State and Jim McElwain in the game is like paying for a national commercial introducing your next coach. And Colorado State is probably not an extremely wealthy program at this time.
"Sorry coach can't come to the phone right now, he's coaching in the the National Championship game tonight, but I'll make sure he calls your son about that scholarship first thing in the morning."
