Two straight losses were never part of his plan. When Jon Embree returned to Boulder as head coach, he talked a big game of restoring confidence.
Finally, his program has a base to build upon. His staff and his boys, as he speaks with the inflection of a proud papa, defeated Front Range rival CSU by fighting back when down and finishing when ahead.

Green rental housing policy saves money and environment
A policy shift towards green building standards will unlock environmental, economic and social benefits in the affordable rental housing sector new Griffith University research has found.
Published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, the research reveals that implementing a green-building mandate within a federal affordable housing financing scheme would improve rental affordability through reduced energy/water bills and low-cost financing for community housing, while simultaneously reducing Australia’s carbon emissions.
“Integrating green building principles into a typical Brisbane based affordable housing development can reduce annual rental housing costs by approximately $5-17 per week for 1-4 person households, over a 10-year period,” said lead researcher Dr Stefen MacAskill from Cities Research Institute.
