The Colorado Buffaloes put forth an unbelievable season on the football field, one almost no one saw coming.

For a community of Colorado football fans starving for a successful season, the Buffs rewarding them in spades, winning 10 games and challenging for the Pac-12 conference championship.

Even though the Buffaloes were blown out by Washington in that title game, fans in Boulder have been able to do nothing but smile. Coach Mike MacIntyre has started to build a feeling of returning the program to its winning ways, the way things were back in the late 1980s and early 1990s when Bill McCartney held that position.

But should Buffs fans be satisfied with just one season of success? Heck no. This needs to become the expectation in Boulder, the same way it used to be.

So with the holidays upon us, I’ve compiled a list of things to ask Santa Claus for. Now there’s no doubt that NCAA superpowers such as Ohio State and Alabama have been blessed with great players and great head coaches, so is there any way that Colorado could someday get to that level?

Well, if Santa reads this list and checks it twice, it just might.
