Mike MacIntyre had already answered a dozen questions from the
media following a mid-August practice when he agreed to spend a
little extra time walking and talking with a reporter.  The
course covered a couple hundred yards through the dirt parking
lot outside the Colorado football practice fields, over Boulder
Creek, up a steep hill -- all too familiar to any current or
former Buff -- to the northeast gates of Folsom Field.  The
topic of conversation was MacIntyre's plan for rebuilding the
proud college football program he now oversees.  When asked for
the nuts and bolts of his plan for bringing the Buffaloes back
from 1-11 laughing stock to Pac-12 Conference title contender,
MacIntyre deadpanned, "How long a walk is this?"  It's a big job
no doubt.  Colorado football coach Mike MacIntyre pays extra
attention to details as he attempts to rebuild the Buffs.
