It's been years since the Colorado football team wore sky blue instead of black and gold. When they did, they won just 10 out of 44 games from 1981 to 1984.

Now University of Colorado senior Taylor Rhode wants to bring the color back Saturday, when Colorado hosts Texas A&M, as a sign of fans' frustration with the Buffaloes' 2-6 record.

Rhode is recruiting people through Facebook to wear powder blue to the game to show university officials that they think the current regime stands with the "worst of the worst."

Rhode says it's a way for fans to go to the game and support the players while showing that they want a change in the people controlling the team. But some fans say they don't want to risk offending players.
