Alright, so today I’m diving into something I’ve been messing around with for a while – the 2001 Colorado football team. I gotta say, it’s been a pretty interesting ride going through all this old data.
First off, I started by digging up whatever info I could find about this team. You know, just browsing around, seeing what’s out there. I stumbled upon some websites that talked about the team’s roster and their games. They mentioned that the 2001 team played for the University of Colorado at Boulder, and their home games were at some stadium.
Collecting the Roster
After getting a general idea, I focused on getting the team’s roster. One place had a list of most of the starters and key reserves, which was super helpful. They even marked the starters with an asterisk (), which made it easier to identify them. I copied down all these names, making sure to note who the starters were.
- Copied down all the player names.
- Noted which players were starters.
- Organized the roster in a simple list.
Looking at the Stats
Then, I moved on to finding some stats for the team. I found this site, it had all sorts of team leaders like passing yards, rushing yards, and even kicking points. It was kinda cool to see all these numbers and how each player contributed to the team. I jotted down some of the key stats, just to get a feel for how the team performed that year.
- Found a site with team stats.
- Looked at passing yards, rushing yards, and kicking points.
- Wrote down some of the key stats.
Finding Out About the Coach
I also came across some info about the coach, Gary Barnett. Apparently, he was the 22nd head coach in the university’s history. His record was 49 wins and 38 losses over seven seasons, from 1999 to 2005. It’s always interesting to learn a bit about the person leading the team.
So, that’s pretty much what I did. I gathered all this information about the 2001 Colorado Buffaloes football team – their roster, some stats, and a bit about their coach. It was like piecing together a puzzle, and honestly, it was pretty fun. I just wanted to share this little project of mine because I thought it was kinda neat to look back at this team from over 20 years ago.
