I think the culture at Colorado, at least from a distance, is kind of toxic. Fighting, hazing, flaunting of money (bankruptcies), huge ego’s etc. I think that is a high ceiling-low floor kind of program as it’s sitting now. If everything clicks, they’ll be great. If things start to go off the rails, they’ll really go off the rails.

Seemed like a decent guy. Wish him well.

Also, Colorado is not going to dominate the Big12. They’ll win the conference here and there, but they won’t dominate. They won’t be the Big12’s Colorado.

Also, Deion won’t be there much longer.

You think Prime is coming back? I just don’t see it happening if the Dallas job is offered to him.

Isn’t what we did in the Pac-12 the aim of being in the Big12? That’d be fantastic.

There are only two teams that have gone through long periods of consistently dominating a conference. That is Alabama and Ohio State. It sounds to me like your hopes or expectation are completely unattainable.

We should be aiming for something like…[Read more]

Living in Colorado I am surrounded by resurgent CU Buff fans. The older fans believe that Sanders has not just changed the willing column, but changed the culture, one far more appealing to blue chip football recruits. These fans had been waiting for the return of the McCartney era, but no longer. Sanders is the wave of the future. If he…[Read more]

Based on what I have seen – I would say start Dampier this season and give Wilson a chance to learn and grow. Wilson was a great runner in high school. He ran for 200 yards in the championship game against a good defense. The RPO may be better for his strengths.

thanks! Are those locker room rumors true? it is just hard for me to imagine a small freshman like him being a prick in front of all the Polynesian lineman we have lol

I also think BYU got 2-3 games of lucky breaks that seem to return to the mean in following years.

Kansas was one of the unluckiest teams and have a Jalon Daniels returning, so they could also be better, but I wouldn’t put them in top 4.

Wish him the best. He did the best he could in a shitty situation.

My very early pre season predictions:

1. Colorado
2. ASU
3. KSU
4. Utah
5. Iowa State
6. TCU
7. BYU
8. Baylor
9. Texas Tech
10. Oklahoma St
11. West Virginia
12. Kansas
13. UCF
14. Houston
15. Cinci
16. Arizona

Most of our losses this season were within one score despite the fact our offense was terrible. I think we bounce back next season.

The plan of learning behind Rising was the goal. It derailed and in a bad way. Lots of malding and debate over that which ended in Ludwig leaving.
I have heard the offers didn’t exceed expectations. That he would have landed at a similar situation or worst.
If it is true what you are saying I think this is a good sign of maturity.

Our go-to joke is, “come on offense, just be mediocre.” The defense always seems to be excellent, so the offense doesn’t even have to do all that much.

I’ll take whichever, but having seen Wilson, I’m leaning toward Dampier. I just hope they didn’t make any promises to Wilson in the re-recruitment process.

I agree with your top-4, TCU, ISU, KSU, ASU. I think BYU is top 4 in the preseason media poll but they lose a lot in the trenches and aren’t seeming to address the need… Colorado loses a lot of star power but could still be good if Prime stays. If he goes, back to the dumpster

Beck evidently sees a future system fit with IW. KW seems to be letting Beck do his job, good sign. Need to lock down Wayshawn Parker.

I can’t look down on anyone for testing the waters as much as I’d like to. In my career I’m often preached to about loyalty but personal experience and numbers will tell you that loyalty is for idiots, and poor ones at that. If it rings hollow for me I’d be a hypocrite to begrudge anyone else for doing something similar.

I called out ASU as the sleeper in our conference this year. I felt that there was no way they would finish last. Of course, I had not idea that we would pretty much take their place! My sleeper next season is Houston. They are sneaky decent on defense already and I think they have a really good coach.

There is NO excuse for Utah to not be…[Read more]

Man, I remember those early days in the PAC-12. I’d look at every team in the conference. Who is coming back, who is leaving, who had young players who look like they could be great. I’d rewatch games on the PAC-12 network. Get magazines, listen to podcasts, etc.

USC, Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Stanford, Cal, the Arizona schools…all great…[Read more]

You’re welcome. What a pain.

This spam plugin I use here will spot spam links (or what it thinks are spam links) and denies them. So the spammers/bots figured out how to get around that by not posting links but instead posting phone numbers. NOTE though that the plugin isn’t 100% accurate and sometimes has a false positive on user posts. So if…[Read more]
