Rooney: Indifference, apathy greeting a CU football program in need of change

It was the Nobel Prize-winning writer Elie Wiesel who coined the phrase, "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference."

There is plenty of indifference hovering around the Colorado football team, even among those who love the program the most. And that's why the time for change has come.

From head coach Mike MacIntyre cracking jokes to open his postgame press conference following his team's sixth consecutive loss to the apathy that took the form of tens of thousands of empty seats Saturday for the 500th game in the history of Folsom Field, the Buffaloes program officially reached rock bottom of the MacIntyre era after a listless 30-7 defeat Saturday in the home finale against Utah.
