Crying Colorado Fan Became Instant Meme After Buffaloes’ Collapse vs. Stanford

It was a tough night in Boulder.

On Friday night, Colorado fans thought they were in for an easy victory while hosting a Stanford team on a four-game losing streak. Instead, the Buffaloes blew a 29–0 halftime lead in historic fashion, taking the home crowd out of the game completely.

Stanford outscored Colorado 46–14 in the second half and overtime, completing the largest second-half comeback in Pac-12 history and delivering the Buffaloes their third loss.

In the end, Colorado fans left the stadium in disbelief instead of in euphoria. After Stanford hit the game-winning field goal, one Colorado fan in particular was caught on camera crying, with another fan consoling him.

Unfortunately for that fan, his misery became a new meme on social media, as many people had jokes at his expense.

10% chance this Colorado fan
is crying because his favorite team blew a 29-0 lead to Stanford at home.

90% chance he’s crying because he put every single dollar in his checking account on Buffs -12.5 and his girl has NO idea.

Probably both.

This is the look of someone who made bets he can't pay.

B/c there's no way he got that much invested in a team with 1 win last year lol. https://t.co/eNVo9bUBnL
